About TASO

The Centre for Transforming Access and Student Outcomes (TASO) is an affiliate What Works Centre, and part of the UK Government’s What Works Movement. Our vision is to eliminate equality gaps in higher education.

TASO was set up in 2019 and became an independent charity in April 2021. Our work focuses on the generation, synthesis and dissemination of high-quality evidence about effective practice in widening participation and student outcomes. We primarily focus on developing and disseminating causal evidence.

About the role

TASO is seeking a new Treasurer to succeed our current Treasurer, who will be stepping down after four years of service.

As TASO moves into its next phase of development, we are looking for a Treasurer who can help shape and guide us to remain an effective and impactful organisation. We welcome candidates who are values-driven financial leaders, whether from higher education or any other sector, as we value diverse perspectives and fresh ways of thinking. Most importantly, our Treasurer should share a passion for TASO’s mission.

The role requires a commitment of around one day per month. This will involve attending quarterly Board meetings, chairing our finance and risk committee, and occasionally providing input into working groups.

Previous experience as a trustee is not necessary; TASO will provide a full induction and ongoing support to help you grow into this role.

We are committed to diversifying our Board and encourage applications from individuals whose identities are currently under-represented: LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, and those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds.

For a confidential discussion about this opportunity, please contact Omar Khan, CEO of TASO, at omar.khan@taso.org.uk.
