As Finance and Administration Assistant, you will be a key member of the Finance function within a growing charity along with providing vital administrative support to the CEO in order to ensure The Saviour Trust can achieve it's mission.
Who we are:
The Saviour Trust was established in Pontefract in 2006 and is born out of a passionate belief that every person should have warmth, shelter and food. At The Saviour Trust we believe that before support can begin, an individual's basic needs must be met - warmth, food and a safe space to sleep, which is why we currenly provide over 350 units of supported accomodation across West Yorkshire. Once a person has their own space, a warm bed and food, we will begin to support them in other areas. We recognise that everyone has a past but to have a future they need a chance to recover and be supported to make a change in a non-judgmental environment.
