Role
Forgan Arts Centre is looking for a Treasurer to join the Board of Trustees, to help guide the organisation through its next phase of development. This is a rewarding opportunity to support a respected, creative community hub at a time of significant growth.
Forgan Arts Centre is a vibrant hub for artistic creation, experimentation, and learning, located in Newport-on-Tay. Community led and rooted in collaboration, we offer a wide range of creative opportunities for people across Fife and beyond.
About the Role
As Treasurer, you’ll provide financial oversight, guidance and governance at board level. You’ll work closely with the Centre Director and Finance Officer to ensure the organisation remains financially healthy, compliant, and able to plan sustainably.
This is not a bookkeeping role — day-to-day accounting is already managed inhouse. Instead, we are seeking someone who can offer strategic insight, clarity and assurance around finances and risk.
Key Responsibilities
- Oversee the organisation’s financial governance and ensure compliance with OSCR (Scottish Charity Regulator) requirements.
- Review management accounts, budgets, and financial reports before board meetings.
- Support the Director in preparing the annual trustees’ report and liaising with independent examiners/auditors.
- Advise on financial risks, sustainability, reserves, and long term financial planning.
- Contribute to strategic decisions at Board level, including capital planning and funding strategy.
- Champion best practice in charity finance and support the development of internal financial processes.
We welcome applicants with a range of financial backgrounds, including but not limited to:
- Accountants (qualified or part qualified)
- Finance managers
- Bookkeepers with strong financial governance experience
- Individuals with charity finance knowledge
- People with a passion for community arts who bring confidence working with numbers
Essential Attributes
- Confidence reading financial statements and budgets
- Ability to communicate financial information clearly to non financial board members
- An interest in charity governance and organisational sustainability
- Integrity, judgement, and commitment to the organisation’s values
Desirable (but not essential)
- Experience with charity finance or SCIO structures
- Understanding of capital projects or long term organisational planning
- Interest in circular economy, sustainability, or community development (aligned with our values)
Time Commitment
- Quarterly board meetings (evenings or hybrid, with some flexibility)
- Occasional sub meetings with Director/finance team
- Approximately 4–6 hours per month
- Minimum one year commitment preferred
This is a voluntary role, but extremely rewarding and impactful.
What You’ll Gain
- Experience in charity governance and arts sector leadership
- The chance to shape a growing, well loved community organisation
- Opportunities for training and development
- Being part of a supportive, friendly and creative board team
- The ability to make a meaningful difference in your local community.
Application notes
To express interest, please send:
- A short note outlining your experience
- Why you wish to join the Board
- Any questions you might have
