The ILC is the UK’s specialist think tank on the impact of longevity on society.

That doesn’t mean we’re just about protecting the interests of older people. It doesn’t mean we’re just about promoting their needs. And it doesn’t mean we’re just about prioritising their requirements.

Because the impact of longevity on society isn’t just about older people: it will impact everyone.

We know the implications of demographics, today and tomorrow.

• We know that every girl born today will have a one in four chance of living until she’s 100.
• We know that when she starts work, she will need to save at least 20% of her earnings every year in order to afford a comfortable retirement.
• We know that if she wants to buy her own home, she’ll probably need to wait until she’s over 35, in a relationship and working full time.

And that is where we come in.

We believe society has to adapt now so we can all enjoy the benefits of longevity, and we want a society that works for everyone, regardless of their age.

We are recruiting for a Treasurer to join our small but growing Board of Trustees.

In addition to overall trustee responsibilities, the ILC Treasurer is responsible for the oversight of financial affairs of the charity, working closely with the Board and Chief executive to safeguard the organisation’s finances.

The ideal candidate will have an interest in ILC’s work, care about the issues and have a passion for making a difference.

The Treasurer will advise the Board of Trustees on the financial implications of its strategy and policy objectives ensuring the organisation operates within the legal and financial guidelines and requirements set out in current legislation. You will work closely with the internal Finance Team in the lead up to board meetings and deadlines for annual reports, chair the ILC Finance Committee ahead of each board meeting and will present an update on the ILC finances to the board at each board meeting.
