SYC is a Disability Confident employer. You can find our Access Statement here. We are committed to being a diverse and inclusive employer and we welcome applications from all communities.

We are looking to recruit a Treasurer to our Board of Trustees to take us forward and support our vital work with young carers and young people impacted by familial substance misuse. This hugely rewarding opportunity will use your skills and experience to work alongside an expert and stable staff team with an excellent reputation.

This is a voluntary unpaid position - reasonable out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed.

The Board of Trustees currently consists of eight trustees, including three young trustees (all former service-users). The trustees bring a range of experiences including strategic development, HR, and leadership skills. They come from a range of fields including health, education and private sectors.

There are around 5-6 board meetings per year, including away days and formal meetings. All trustees need to have a DBS and bankruptcy check, and undergo safeguarding training.

You don’t need any prior knowledge of the work we do. Above all, you need to be committed to making a real difference to young carers/young people impacted by familial substance misuse and their families in Sheffield.
