Job Description
This is a senior volunteer leadership role responsible for helping Pride in London maintain strong financial management, effective controls and clear financial oversight. Working closely with the CEO, Board, budget holders, volunteer leaders and external finance providers, you will help ensure that the organisation uses its resources responsibly and remains financially sustainable.
You will oversee budgeting, management reporting, cash-flow forecasting, financial controls and the organisation’s day-to-day accounting arrangements. You will also coordinate the preparation of annual accounts, support the external audit and help ensure compliance with the financial and regulatory requirements applying to London LGBT Community Pride CIC.
This role requires someone who is comfortable operating strategically while remaining close to the financial detail. You will be able to interpret financial information clearly, identify emerging risks and provide practical advice to support timely and informed decision-making.
Time commitment
This volunteer role requires a regular commitment of approximately 6–8 hours each week. We will work with the successful candidate to agree a working pattern that is manageable alongside their other commitments.
There will be periods during the year—particularly during annual budgeting, year-end reporting and the lead-up to Pride in London when additional availability may be required. This may include supporting urgent financial decisions, reviewing forecasts and being available during key operational delivery periods.
Wherever possible, these increased requirements will be planned and communicated in advance.
