Job opportunity at Brighton Unitarian Church

Are you an experienced bookkeeper or do you have a similar strong background in financial record-keeping? Brighton Unitarian Church, a friendly and inclusive local organisation, is seeking a self-employed bookkeeper, who is sympathetic to our ethos, to manage our financial record-keeping and bookkeeping activities. We are looking for someone with a good eye for detail, experience with relevant software (such as Expense Plus or Xero), and the ability to lead our transition to a new system, working in collaboration with our retiring financial recordkeeper.

​

This role offers flexibility, with some tasks that can be completed remotely and others requiring attendance at the Church (located on New Road in Brighton) approximately once a week or once a fortnight.  Approximately 15 - 20 hours per month, with potentially more hours required during the initial phase of system migration. 

​

'Back to Life' by Christine Clark-Lowes

This interesting and well-researched book by Christine Clark-Lowes, a BUC member, tells the stories of the people named on plaques in our beautiful Grade II listed church.

 

There is a reference copy in the church, and copies are available in the church office in return for a donation to the church. 

Safeguarding 

We take safeguarding very seriously at Brighton Unitarian Church 

​

Working closely with Thirty one eight https://thirtyoneeight.org/ a charity focusing on safeguarding of adults and children, we have developed a comprehensive policy, safeguarding team and statement for hirers to ensure that all those who come to church are protected and supported.

How to support Brighton Unitarian Church from the comfort of your sofa

​

Just a reminder that the church is partnered with Easy Fundraising if our members and friends would like to sign up in order to generate donations for the church as they shop online. This works a bit like the Amazon Smile scheme which recently closed but with many more choices as to where you shop. In fact Easy Fundraising is the UK’s biggest charity shopping site.

 

Launched in 2005, their community of over 2 million supporters have raised over £42 million for thousands of causes across the UK. Easy Fundraising partners with over 7,000 brands who will donate part of what you spend to a cause of your choice. It won’t cost you any extra. The cost is covered by the brand.

​

Once you’ve set up your account, you’ll have the option to install the EF browser extension which is called the Donation Reminder. It will pop up on every retailer site where a donation is available - which means you don’t have to remember to go via the EF website to do your shopping, just shop online as normal!

SERVICES

Our services draw their inspiration from diverse sources and the spiritual content depends on the service leader. Service leaders include members of the congregation, visiting ministers, and members of other Unitarian churches. Most services include an address, music, prayer or meditation and a quiet time for personal reflection. Readings come from the scriptures of the world faiths and wisdom traditions, philosophy and from contemporary literature and science.
