Treasurer / Finance Trustee

Frome Festival is looking for a new Treasurer. For over 25 years, we've turned Frome into a 10-day celebration of music, comedy, theatre and everything in between. Behind the scenes, we need someone who can make the numbers work so the magic keeps happening.

You'll help the board read our financial position at a glance, and guide decisions on everything from grant funding to reserves. You'll work closely with our Festival Director and bookkeeper, who handle the day-to-day, while you bring the financial oversight that keeps us sharp and sustainable. Whether you're an experienced finance professional or a first-time trustee, we want to hear from you.

The Role

This is a voluntary position with an initial term of three years, renewable for up to two additional three-year terms.
