About Bedfordshire Refugee & Asylum Seeker Support
Our objective is to support Refugees and asylum seekers in Bedfordshire. We provide Drop in advice, English lessons and social activities.
What will you be doing?
Following the retirement of our long-serving Treasurer, BRASS is now seeking a new Treasurer Trustee to join our friendly and committed board. The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the financial health of BRASS and supporting the board in fulfilling its governance duties.
The accounts are managed by our small but capable internal finance team, including a Finance Officer (one day per week), a Finance Manager (two days per week), who also prepares the annual accounts. An independent volunteer accountant also reviews and signs off the accounts.
The Treasurer role is not time-intensive and the focus is on oversight and guidance, rather than hands-on financial management.

What are we looking for?
Skills and Experience
We welcome applications from candidates with experience in finance, business, charity work, or other relevant areas.
- Financial or accounting qualifications are desirable but not essential
- Prior trustee experience is welcome but not essential

- Personable and approachable, with a collaborative mindset
- Sympathetic to BRASS’s mission of supporting refugees and asylum seekers
- Supportive, bringing steady guidance and understanding
- Good at communicating, especially with non-financial audiences
- Practical, patient, and constructive
The ideal Treasurer will enjoy being part of a warm, informal, and community-minded organisation where decisions are made collectively and with compassion.
BRASS values diversity and inclusion at all levels of our organisation. We welcome trustees, staff, and volunteers from all backgrounds and experiences, and are committed to creating an environment where every voice is respected, supported, and able to contribute fully to our mission.
What difference will you make?
BRASS is more than a charity - it is a lifeline for refugees and asylum seekers in Bedfordshire, a welcoming community, and a source of hope for those starting a new life in the UK. For many who come to us, BRASS represents the first step towards safety, stability, and the opportunity to rebuild with dignity.
Our work goes beyond advice and paperwork. We support people as they navigate complex immigration systems, access education, find employment, and integrate into the community.
By joining BRASS as a Treasurer Trustee, you will help shape this vital work - bringing your skills, experience, and guidance to strengthen governance, support our staff and volunteers, and ensure that refugees and asylum seekers continue to find a compassionate, inclusive, and empowering place at the heart of Bedfordshire.
Time commitment
All meetings are held online, making it possible to fulfil the role remotely and providing flexibility for trustees wherever they are based.
Typical commitments include: Four quarterly trustee meetings (1-1.5 hours each, online), one annual finance sub-committee meeting with the finance team, occasional ad hoc input if needed between meetings.
The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting BRASS with their Treasurer recruitment.
Applications should be made via TrusteeWorks in the first instance.

· Support and friendship from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
