We are looking for someone to help with the Trust’s day-to-day administrative functions including managing our communication channels (email, Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram), updating our website, handling membership queries and the day-to-day accounts of the organization.

Key service requirements:

• Secretary to the Trustees - organizing agendas, scheduling meetings, taking and distributing minutes

• Familiar with the requirements of working on a self-employed basis (eg covering own tax and insurance etc) and perhaps with a portfolio of similar contracts.
• Comfortable engaging with volunteers and members of the public.

We would expect provision of these services to occupy approximately 15 hours per month for which we are offering £400 per month on a rolling basis.
