Job Summary

We are seeking a dynamic Trustee to become our Treasurer. Chapel Arts Studios (CAS) is a Visual Arts company, National Portfolio Organisation & Charity operating in a beautiful setting in the heart of Andover, Hampshire. This is an exciting moment of transition with a new ambitious team in place.

Job Description

We're seeking a Trustee with financial expertise to join our dedicated Board. We are particularly interested in finding someone who can provide strong financial oversight, helping us to ensure robust financial controls, clear and accurate reporting and effective financial planning across the organisation. You may have experience in finance, accounting, auditing or financial management - and if so, we'd like to hear from you. If you have pre-existing experience in charity accounting, this would be a bonus.

If this isn't you, but your interest has been stirred, drop us a line anyway. We're always interested to meet new people, and it could be that your set of skills and experiences are perfect for us, and we just haven't realised. We're big on learning and working with fabulous people, so tell us what you can bring.
