Finance Manager – Holy Rood House

Holy Rood House, Centre for Health and Pastoral Care, Thirsk, is seeking someone with experience, commitment and a heart for people, to lead our small finance team.

We are a community of residential and non-residential members welcoming people of all ages and
backgrounds at a time of need, respite or retreat. Our gentle therapeutic space, including gardens and
art room, can help people turn their lives round at a difficult time or simply provide quiet time out of a
hectic schedule. The Community is founded on a gentle and inclusive Christian ethos and we welcome
guests regardless of religious or philosophical views.

This role is for someone (it can be a shared role) who wants to use their skills to help make a difference.
Working to our Executive Director, the Finance Manager will oversee our finances and budgets,
procurement contracts, suppliers, contractors and grant submissions, developing new projects, whilst
ensuring compliance. This is a significant task list – do any of them match your skills and interests? If
so, could we interest you in a conversation? We are keen to make this role work for the right
person/people and for our existing team of volunteers.

We think this might appeal to someone who is wanting to leave behind the pressures of the commercial
world but who wants to put their skills to good use, for the benefit of others. You may be drawn to one
part of this role, in which case please make contact, we’re very open to sharing this role.

Although the salary is modest, there are many benefits of life in this Community. The Finance Manager will share in the spiritual life of the Community, becoming part of our developing vision as the place to turn to:  www.holyroodhouse.org.uk
