SCTS Honorary Treasurer Role Vacancy - Request for Application

The SCTS is seeking expressions of interest from members for the role of Honorary Treasurer. This will be a proleptic appointment. The appointee will work alongside the current Honorary Treasurer for a familiarisation period, with a formal handover planned at the March 2026 annual meeting in Belfast.  The Honorary Secretary is responsible for managing the Society’s financial affairs.

It is essential that the Honorary Treasurer is a member of the SCTS, in good standing with the SCTS, their employer, and the GMC, and employed as a Consultant Surgeon. Applicants must have experience of teamwork in a leadership role and a knowledge of the aims of the Society.

Commercial experience, familiarity with VAT, and knowledge of basic charity law would all be desirable.

After the formal handover, the appointee will serve three years as Honorary Treasurer. The Honorary Treasurer is one of the six main officeholders responsible for all financial aspects of the SCTS.  They are a Trustee of the SCTS, and a member of the Executive.

During the handover period, the appointee will assist the current Honorary Treasurer in their responsibilities, and will become familiar with the responsibilities of the post.

The responsibilities of the Honorary Treasurer role are:

  • Dealing with the Society’s accountants;
  • Managing all banking issues, the investment portfolio, and all other fiscal issues;
  • Managing the SCTS administrative staff including annual appraisal and the payroll;
  • Attending weekly meetings of the SCTS senior officeholders, either by teleconference or in person;
  • Presenting a financial report at the AGM and thrice-yearly Executive meetings.

The post is not remunerated, and it will require the successful candidate to seek support from their Trust and to negotiate their job plan to enable the delivery of the role. Informal discussions may be held with Mark Jones (Honorary Treasurer), Doug West (Honorary Secretary), and Aman Coonar (President).

Interested members should submit a brief CV and a completed application form to emma@scts.org by 26th September 2025.
