Could this be you?

We are looking to appoint a Treasurer to join Ely Museum at an exciting time. We will look
to you to maintain oversight of finances and contribute to the strategic direction of the
Museum, therefore a passion for protecting the assets of our award-winning Accredited
Museum, as well as ensuring a sustainable position, is key to this role.

Individuals with experience in accounting or charity finance are particularly welcome,
however we would love to hear from anyone who feels that their skills and background
would be suited to this role.

We will look to you to ensure that Ely Museum fulfils its duties and responsibilities for
financial governance as set down by the Charity Commission and within the Museum’s
constitution. You will work with both staff and Trustees to achieve this.

Ely Museum is an independent museum that tells the story of the landscape of the local
area and the lives of people who have lived there. We are delighted to have been
supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and have recently undergone a £2.2m
redevelopment of the exhibitions and building.

This is an exciting time for you to join us and you will want to help us achieve our
ambitions and support our direction of travel.
