Small Services Volunteer

We are looking for someone to be responsible for co-ordinating a small number of front-line services.  Location: A mix of home working and visiting our projects located in Basildon, Billericay & Wickford.

Key Responsibilities
• To ensure the regular smooth running of a small number of services, including several pop-up stands, several walking groups, an allotment and a yoga group. We currently hold one weekly pop-up plus one monthly pop-up. We also run four weekly walking groups. Additionally, we run a weekly allotment group and a yoga group. These are all run by others but need light-touch management.
• To attend a small number of events (e.g. one per month), representing the charity. In addition to a number of planned annual events, we get invited to other local organisations’ events or to make presentations to them.
• To apply for various small grants each year. These must be researched in terms of how we meet their criteria and the submissions written, sent and followed up.
• To recruit and supervise a small number of specialist volunteers. Our charity has four times as many volunteers as staff, including a small number of volunteers with specific, specialist knowledge.
• Attend internal and external meetings, events and training as and when necessary.
• Undertake other tasks and duties, as deemed appropriate, by the Chief Executive Officer.

What skills do I need?
