Treasurer and Trustees
We are currently recruiting for a new Treasurer and three new Trustees to join our Board. If you have experience in financial management, fundraising, digital communications and stakeholder partnerships we particularly want to hear from you!
Passionate about Parliament and democracy? Want to make it work better for everyone?
At the Hansard Society, we work to strengthen parliamentary democracy — providing independent research and expert advice on how Westminster works and how it could work better.
We want a Board of Trustees with a rich mix of skills, perspectives and experience. We recognise that we need to improve our diversity, particularly in terms of ethnicity, and so we particularly welcome applications from people who can help us broaden our representation. But whatever your age, background or professional journey, if you share our values and have the skills and experience we need, we want to hear from you.
We select for interview through a blind review of (i) responses to a series of questions relevant to the role and (ii) your CV. To minimise bias, our assessment process is anonymised up to and including the shortlisting stage.
After two successful terms, our current Treasurer is stepping down. We are now looking for someone who can build on her legacy and help guide the Society over the coming years. The successful candidate will enjoy a transition period to ensure a smooth handover.
This is more than a financial oversight role. We are looking for a strategic thinker with a strong interest in the work the Hansard Society does to champion parliamentary democracy. You will bring your expertise in financial leadership to strengthen our governance, safeguard our resources, and ensure we remain resilient and effective in delivering our mission.
Deadline: 10am Monday 1 September 2025
Information pack. This includes details of the Board, the role of Treasurer, the skills we are looking for, the current work of the Society, and the application process.
Apply via our dedicated recruitment portal. You will be asked to respond to 6 written questions relating to your interest in and suitability for this role (each has a 250 word limit) and to upload your CV.
Several of our Trustees will soon complete their second three-year term. We are therefore building a pipeline of new Trustees to join the Board over a managed transition period. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in:
charitable fundraising (e.g. cultivating high-net-worth donors or running successful online small-donor campaigns); or
digital communications and engagement (especially through social media); or
building stakeholder partnerships (e.g. securing sponsorships for events or projects).
