Closing date: ongoing
Cyclox, Oxford’s cycling advocacy charity, is looking for a new treasurer, following the retirement of Ben Sawyer.
Our treasurer is responsible for the financial oversight of the charity and preparing the annual accounts but much day-to-day work, such as payroll and dealing with invoices, is done by our staff or contracted out. One of our staff members also takes the lead on fundraising.
The treasurer’s role is a voluntary one but reasonable expenses are covered. You will also have the opportunity to shape the future of a vibrant, growing charity.
The treasurer does not need to be an accountant but must have a reasonable grasp of figures. They would normally also become a trustee and attend around 10 board meetings a year, either in person or online. Ideally, they would be based in or close to Oxford and committed to our aims of getting more people to cycle in Oxford, more often and more safely.
You can learn more about us at www.cyclox.org.
We work towards our mission by:
- Advocating: We lobby key decision makers such as the city and county councils and the two universities to raise awareness of cycling and to call for better cycling provision.
- Collaborating: We work with local active travel groups, the universities and other partners.
- Engaging: We listen to and learn from our members and communities.
- Taking action: We work with schools and other parts of the community to offer practical help to those who face barriers to cycling. This work is often grant-funded.
Based: Oxford
For enquiries about the role contact: Ian Loader, CycloxChair@cyclos.org for an informal discussion. If you then want to progress further, we will invite you to meet other trustees and possibly attend a board meeting.
