The Victoria Almshouses is a registered charity that has two sites, one in Reigate with 24 dwellings and one in Redhill with 10 bungalows.  The charity provides accommodation for elderly residents who have a close association with the Borough of Reigate & Banstead, who have a housing need and inadequate financial resources to house themselves.  Residents have to be able to live independently and are responsible for paying a Maintenance Contribution(MC) towards the costs of maintaining and repairing the properties.

The Charity is administered by a Board of Trustees (Governors) and two sub-committees responsible for Welfare and Fabric & Finance.  Meetings are held quarterly.

The Board is supported by a full time Manager who lives on site at Reigate and the Clerk, a part time role.

We are seeking a trustee with accounting / financial skills to take on the role of Hon. Treasurer after the current Treasurer's retirement.

The role involves preparing a draft budget each year, quarterly financial statements and reports to the board, collection of Maintenance Contributions (payable by standing order) payment of invoices (dual signature authorisation), payment of staff  including dealing with HMRC and our Pension Provider and liaison with the Independent Financial Examiner for the end of year accounts.

The Hon Treasurer sits on the Fabric & Finance Committee as well as the Board of Trustees (Governors).

What skills do I need?

Accounting and financial skills.

Experience of the Xero accounting software would be useful although training will be given.
