We are the only charity in the UK dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by Scleroderma and Raynaud’s. We exist to improve awareness and understanding of these conditions, to support those affected, and ultimately to find a cure.

We are a small, ambitious but mighty charity, with a dedicated and friendly team of 12 led by Sue Farrington, who is also President of FESCA, Federation of European Scleroderma Associations.

Treasurer opportunity

We are looking for a Treasurer with strong financial expertise and relevant qualifications. While experience with charity finance, the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), and investment portfolio management is desirable, it is not essential. What matters most is your ability to oversee financial matters, analyse proposals, assess financial implications, and ensure the charity remains financially sound and compliant with statutory obligations.

This is an exciting and transformative time for our charity. As we scale up, we aim to significantly increase investment in research and services, ensuring that everyone affected by Scleroderma or Raynaud’s has access to the best possible treatments, information, and support. Joining us now offers the unique opportunity to help shape this ambitious journey and have a tangible impact on the lives of those we serve.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.

Scleroderma & Raynauds UK is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure that we reflect the full breadth of the people we aim to support. We work within an increasingly diverse area, and it is important that the Board is representative of the communities that we serve. We would particularly welcome applications from women and people from an ethnic minority background who are currently under-represented on the Board and warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.

If you would like a call to discuss the role in more detail, please email John ([email protected]), or call John on 07522 163938 to arrange a convenient time. Having a call of this kind will not influence the success of your application.
