Reading Almshouse Charity (RAC) provides affordable homes and a supportive community for adults able to live independently across Reading and Earley. The Charity operates across three sites and supports over 100 residents.

RAC is governed by a Board of Trustees who work collectively to ensure the Charity remains well‑governed, financially sustainable, and true to its mission.

The Role

Trustees are equal members of the Board and share collective responsibility for the Charity’s governance, strategic direction, and long term sustainability.

Trustees operate at a strategic and oversight level. The Board sets direction, monitors performance, and ensures good governance, while day to day operations are delegated to the Charity’s staff team.

Skills and Experience

We welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds, skills, and lived experience.

The Board is particularly interested in candidates with experience in:

• Legal
• Property or buildings
• Governance

These skills are desirable, not essential, and should not discourage applications from candidates with other experience.

Time Commitment

The role involves approximately four Board meetings per year, attendance at a committee, and reasonable preparation time. The commitment is designed to be meaningful but manageable. All meetings take place during the daytime.

Committees and Engagement

Trustees are expected to sit on at least one committee. There may also be opportunities to attend occasional events or activities to stay connected with residents and the wider community.

Location

The charity is located in Reading therefore applicants must be able to travel to Reading for meetings. Local knowledge is welcomed, but non‑local candidates are equally encouraged to apply to support diversity and skills balance as long as the commitment to travel to Reading is understood.

Remuneration

This is a voluntary role. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.

Reporting to the Chief Executive and working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will provide strategic leadership across finance and corporate services, including financial planning, treasury, risk management, ICT and key support functions. As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will help steer the organisation through its post‑merger phase, ensuring robust governance, financial resilience and value for money, while enabling delivery of our long‑term vision.

You will be a senior finance leader with strong charity or housing sector experience, excellent strategic judgement and the credibility to advise at Board level.

For an informal conversation about the opportunity, please contact the Chief Executive at enquiries@mytrust.org.uk

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion:  MY Trust is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all sections of the community. We particularly encourage applications from under‑represented groups.

Safeguarding:  MY Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk. Appointment will be subject to appropriate safeguarding checks.

We are seeking a volunteer to help develop contacts with the people of Guildford and the area, and organisations and bodies interested in charities such as ours; to publicise activities and news relating to the Hospital through a newsletter and social media; to keep social media up to date; and to facilitate events in the Hospital involving the public. This role is initially for a volunteer but could develop over time. The volunteer would work closely with the Master and Governors.

Hours: Part-time, flexible
Location: Abbot’s Hospital, central Guildford with flexible remote working, by agreement,
Reporting to: The Master, Abbot’s Hospital
Remuneration: This is a voluntary unpaid role. A paid post may become available in the future as our fundraising capacity grows.

About Abbot’s Hospital:

Founded in 1619 by George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, Abbot’s Hospital has provided sheltered housing for older people of limited means in Guildford without interruption for over four centuries. It is a Grade I listed building: a Tudor masterpiece at the top of Guildford’s historic High Street often compared to a miniature Hampton Court Palace or an Oxford College quad, and arguably the most significant historic building in the borough.
Today, residents live in apartments surrounding two courtyards within buildings that also house a Chapel, a Common Hall, and a function hall. The Hospital also owns Old Cloth Hall on North Street. Income from residents funds day-to-day operations, but maintaining this extraordinary building requires additional resources — and that is where this role comes in.

The Opportunity

We are not yet running a major fundraising campaign. But we know that great fundraising is built on relationships, reputation, and reach and that is precisely what this role will help us create.
We are looking for someone to help us tell Abbot’s Hospital’s story, engage supporters old and new, and lay the groundwork so that when the moment comes, we are ready. This is a role for someone who wants to make a meaningful contribution to Guildford’s civic and heritage life and to help open doors for the Hospital.

The Role

Working with the Master, Governors, and staff, the role will lead on the following areas:
Events and engagement
• Organise small-scale events to engage existing supporters and attract new ones — for example, school chamber music concerts, historical talks, and guided tours
• Work with the Master and Governors to develop the events programme over time
Relationships & network
• Begin building relationships across Guildford, with local businesses, civic organisations, schools, trusts, and individuals with an interest in heritage or community
• Represent Abbot’s Hospital warmly and credibly in the community
• Supporter cultivation and stewardship
• Develop and maintain a database of contacts, logging visitors, event attendees, and supporters
• Ensure donations are acknowledged promptly and Gift Aid claims are made
• Send occasional newsletters to keep supporters informed and engaged

Profile
• Develop and maintain a social media presence for Abbot’s Hospital
• Ensure all activity reflects the Hospital’s values and operates within the fundraising code of practice, applicable guidelines, and data protection obligations

The Person
We are looking for a self-starting, warm, and energetic individual. Some background in engagement, marketing, or fundraising is helpful, but genuine enthusiasm and drive matter more than a particular CV.

The successful candidate will be:
• Someone who knows Guildford, or is keen to and can use their own network to open doors and build profile for the Hospital
• A natural communicator: enthusiastic, credible, and comfortable talking to a wide range of people
• Well-organised and self-starting, able to manage projects independently while working cooperatively with Governors, the Master, and staff
• Comfortable with social media and standard office software (Word, Excel), and willing to learn a contact database system and in keeping with data protection policies.
• Committed to promoting a four-hundred-year-old institution with a very modern purpose

Interested? We would love to hear from you.
We are very happy to have an informal conversation before any formal expression of interest. Please get in touch with the Master at Abbot’s Hospital to find out more or to discuss the role.

Contact: Ian Bowler, the Master,  at master@abbotshospital.org
