Can a charity pay its treasurer?

A small charitable organisation is paying an accountant to be their Treasurer. I understand that this is acceptable to the Charity Commission if in the best interests of the charity and they have no other suitable person to do the job. If this person is Treasurer should they then also be a trustee and are there likely to be any other issues in this situation? Many thanks
