Assistant Treasurers required

As one of Norfolk’s largest grassroots youth football clubs, CJFC manages membership fees, kit costs, pitch hire, tournament revenue, and grant-funded activity across nearly 40 squads.

This role is perfect for someone who is organised, trustworthy, and comfortable working with numbers. You’ll support the Treasurer, committee members, coaches, and age‑group leads to ensure that every penny is accounted for and the club remains financially sustainable for the children and families we serve.
