Be Part of the Team

Inclusive Mosque Initiative is looking for a Treasurer to join our team of Trustees. 

About Inclusive Mosque
We are creating the feminist mosque of our dreams. Want to build it with us?

Established in November 2012, Inclusive Mosque Initiative runs events for Muslims, their loved ones and their allies. We challenge patriarchy and champion the leadership of women, non-binary and genderqueer people. We are committed to reviving a rights-based Islam that challenges all forms of oppression.

Our vision is a proactive welcoming place where Muslims of all sects and backgrounds can thrive in peace together, where families can pray and learn together without gender segregation. We consider disability justice in all our work, and we are a Queer and Trans inclusive mosque. Our team of trustees, staff, Imams and volunteers are dedicated to creating inclusive, safer places of spiritual practice for marginalised communities.

We ask that all applicants submit a CV and a cover letter that explains how you meet the Person Specification and your experience of carrying out the Key Responsibilities. Email your CV and covering letter to naima@inclusivemosque.org. Deadline for applications is 8am on Monday 3rd October 2022. 

If you would like to discuss the role with our Director, Naima Khan or Chair of Trustees, Halima Gosai Hussain, please book a meeting using this calendar or email naima@inclusivemosque.org

We don’t expect anyone to spend a lot of time on the application and would prefer short, succinct introductions to who you are, what you care about and what your skills are. Please let us know by email or answerphone 02031891185 of any adjustment or support you need to apply for this position.

Please note:

• Applicants must be 18+ and be resident in the UK.
• Applicants must not be disqualified by law from acting as a trustee. 
• Currently our trustee meetings are taking place in-person with the option to join online. 

About the Treasurer role

We are looking for a treasurer to join our board of trustees and support our director to maintain accurate financial records. 

Person Specification

We are looking for someone with:

• Knowledge of Charity finance, ideally with experience of being a treasurer for a charity.
• Passion for our mission, especially in our commitment to dismantling patriarchy.  
• A commitment to knowing and understanding the Inclusive Mosque community.
• An eagerness to advocate for the marginalised communities that Inclusive Mosque supports. 

Key responsibilities

The successful candidate will be expected to:

• Oversee the production of financial reports and audited accounts. 
• Produce Quarterly Profit & Loss reports for the board of trustees.
• Make fellow trustees aware of their financial obligations and interpret financial data to them. 
• Meet regularly with IMI’s Director to support the keeping of accurate financial records.
• Act as a signatory on funding applications and paperwork related to audits, grants and donations.
• Provide oversight of the Director’s conduct related to the charity’s financial affairs. 
• Attend regular trainings and meet-ups with our volunteers, imams and staff.
• Demonstrate a personal alignment with the values and beliefs that inform our mission and ways of working. 

As IMI’s treasurer, you will be a trustee of the charity, shape how we operate and help us to sustain IMI’s work. Our trustees meet quarterly for meetings that usually last 3 hours with breaks. We draw from our lived experience to inform our vision for Inclusive Mosque and provide safer spaces for Muslims who are often excluded from mosques. You can see who our current trustees are on our About page. 

Our ideal candidate would also have lived experience of being from a marginalised Muslim community and as such we will prioritise women, genderqueer, Black, disabled and Shi’a applicants. 

This is an unpaid position, because charity law in the UK does not allow trustees of a charity to be paid to be a trustee, no matter how marginalising that practise is. We do not agree with this, but we are bound by the Commission’s rules. We will provide expenses for travel, subsistence, childcare and/or other caring responsibilities.
