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.
Please see candidate pack attached for further details.
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
- Local knowledge of Bedfordshire is an advantage but not essential, as all trustee meetings are currently held online.
Personal Qualities
What matters most to BRASS is personal fit. We are looking for someone who is:
- 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
