Treasurer

Overview

Treasurer required with accountancy or similar qualification • London and Home Counties

We are partnering with the Social Interest Group (SIG) to appoint a new Treasurer to join their board. SIG brings charities together to work under one umbrella focusing on delivering good quality social and health care services. They build powerful partnerships and creative solutions providing bespoke person-centred health and social care services through six subsidiaries, bridging gaps in provision and aid recovery, reablement and resettlement, supporting thousands of people with good-quality support and care in residential services, drop-in centres, community floating support settings (including people's own homes), criminal justice and probation settings, and hospitals awaiting discharge. SIG's Mission is to create solutions that bridge the gaps in local health and social care, getting people out of hospital, out of prison and off the streets.

SIG is a not-for-profit organisation (the parent company), who together with their subsidiary charities SIG Penrose, SIG Housing Trust, SIG Equinox, SIG Pathways to Independence and SIG Safe Ground, delivers a diverse range of specialist services designed to support people facing complex challenges. From substance use and mental health to homelessness, criminal justice, and personality disorders, SIG's residential and community-based programmes are tailored to meet individual needs in order to ensure that people in our society have every opportunity to live fulfilled, healthy and constructive lives. SIG also offer dedicated services for women, ensuring gender-responsive support across multiple regions.

They do so across London, Brighton, Bedfordshire, Luton, and Kent. They also support people in prisons, currently delivering services in London and Liverpool.
