Detailed description

As well as fulfilling the duties of a Trustee, the Treasurer maintains an overview of Court Barn‘s financial affairs.


About the Treasurer Role:


  • Overseeing the presentation of budgets, internal management accounts and annual financial statements to the Board of Trustees.
  • Ensuring that proper accounting records are kept, and that appropriate accounting procedures and controls are in place eg Excel and online applications such as Quick Books.
  • Monitoring and advising on the financial viability of the activities the museum would like to organise.

  • The Treasurer works with the Chairman and Secretary to provide oversight and leadership to the staff as required between trustees meetings.


We are looking for:

  • The Treasurer prepares the annual accounts, using Quickbooks.
  • A strategic thinker with an ability to balance risk and opportunity.
  • Clear communicator with the ability to bring the financial information alive to non-finance specialists.

About Court Barn Museum

We celebrate craft and design in the north Cotswolds. Starting in 1902, when C.R. Ashbee brought his Guild of Handicraft to Chipping Campden, we explore makers, designers and craftspeople including Harts Silversmiths, Gordon Russell and Robert Welch.

Throughout the year we hold exhibitions, events and workshops. There is a small shop selling work by local designer makers.

Run by three staff and over 30 volunteers we provide a welcoming and supportive space.
