Treasurer at Bramber Bakehouse

What does the opportunity involve doing?

Over the next three years we plan to enhance our financial sustainability. This will enable us to grow our service delivery, meeting a growing demand for women in need to access safe, trauma-informed support and care. None of this would be possible without the input and support of a skilled and engaged Board of Trustees. In order to support our plans, we are looking for a highly-skilled Treasurer to support us in our mission.

The overall role of a Treasurer is to maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs, ensure its
financial viability and ensure proper financial records and procedures are maintained. This
includes being accountable to the Chair and Trustees and being open to investigation, discussion
and resolution.
