The role
The Saltaire Collection was initiated by the people of Saltaire to tell the unique story of this World Heritage Site, located in the Bradford District, West Yorkshire. It has a wealth of information for researchers, schools, visitors and adult learners. The period covered is from Titus Salt’s era in Bradford from 1820, the origins of Saltaire in the 1850’s, to the lives of residents, workers and businesses to the present day. The Collection covers all aspects of work and living in the village, its surrounding area, the histories of its buildings and its international connections. It attracts National and International Interest and is managed by The Saltaire World Heritage Education Association’s board of trustees (Charity Reg. no. 1158756). The charity is working towards Museum Accreditation – planning to move into a new building by 2026, Please check out our website https://www.saltairecollection.org
Currently the board trustees have skills in collection management, museum development, business planning, and project management but a vacancy has now arisen for a treasurer to join three board officers and support the development of a strategic approach to managing and raising money. Day to day financial administration is provided by our partner, Shipley College. The person appointed to this role will need to be able to offer around a half day each week and be capable of balancing ambition with the limited capacity of voluntary run, small charity.
