Deadline: 11th January 2027
Sanctuary Breaks aims to enhance the mental health of people seeking asylum and refugees by providing opportunities for respite breaks in Hill House, a beautiful family house with large garden in a secluded village near Stroud.
We’re a small new charity – 3 part-time staff and a committed team of volunteers – but have recently been offered the gift of ownership of Hill House and have an ambitious plan to expand our programme and are explore the opportunities and challenges this might create.
With a small but experienced Trustee Board, we’re looking to recruit a Treasurer to oversee the financial and accounting processes for Sanctuary Breaks, and possibly also for our trading CIC, Hill House Retreats, which provides income from letting out Hill House to groups for short breaks.
Working mainly from home, you’ll need to attend Board meetings and occasional events at Hill House.
If you share our vision and mission, and are willing to be hands-on with budgeting, bookkeeping and accounts, then we’d love to hear from you for an informal chat or, if you’re ready to apply, please send a short summary of your reasons for applying, relevant skills and experience and contact details for two referees.
