Yetholm Community Shop Ltd is a community benefit society founded in 2020 in the Scottish Borders region, with 200+ shareholders, to purchase and run the Yetholm village convenience store and sub-Post Office, and to provide a social space and community hub. It has 200+ shareholders, recently refurbished and extended High Street premises, an annual turnover of about £250,000 and a mix of paid part-time staff and volunteers.

The current Treasurer is now retiring, after 5 years in office.

The main elements of the role are: to assist with budgeting and cash-flow planning, to oversee the conduct of the shop’s financial transactions with suppliers and customers, to manage the shop’s bank operations, and to liaise between the shop manager and the external accountants. Familiarity with EPOS and Xero is important. Familiarity with the Post Office IT system is not required, as operations at the shop’s PO counter (open 2 mornings a week) are conducted by the shop’s PO-accredited staff under the direction of the PO authorities.

Much of the work can be done remotely, and it is not essential for the Treasurer to be a local resident.

Like the other board members, the Treasurer is an unpaid volunteer. Meetings are held every 2 or 3 weeks, usually on Teams or Zoom.

We have an exciting opportunity to work as part of a successful Business Support team. You will support the provision of an effective and customer-focused HR and Finance service within Volunteer Scotland. This role holder will be a key member of the Business Support function assuming additional responsibilities for business support services and assisting in facilities co-ordination matters.

You will have gained previous experience in finance and/or HR roles, ideally within the charitable or non-profit sector and be proficient in accounting software, payroll systems, and HR management tools.
