This is an important role within the organisation, helping the trustees to maintain sound financial management and ensuring that WPF meets its financial and charitable responsibilities.

This is an unpaid voluntary trustee role. The role is flexible and combines practical financial administration with an overview of the Festival's financial position. The Treasurer will need to allow time (estimated at an average of 1 hour per week, throughout the year) for routine monthly financial administration, preparation of reports, trustee meetings and the annual accounts process. Extra time may occasionally be needed relating to Winchester Poetry Prize entries, Poetry Day/Biennial Festival and at year end.

Previous experience as a charity treasurer or trustee would be helpful but is not essential. We would particularly welcome applications from people who have relevant financial, accounting or business experience and who would enjoy contributing their skills to a local arts organisation.
