Ormskirk & District Scouts
We are recruiting for a Secretary to join our team. This is a really rewarding support role where you will be involved as a member of our Trustee Board making sure that Scouting in our area is run safely and legally. There are bi-monthly meetings, a mix of online and face to face during which Trustees make sure the charity is well managed, risks are assessed and mitigated and everyone is following legal requirements and the rules of the Scout Association. Your support helps other volunteers run a fantastic programme that gives young people skills for life (and experiences they’ll remember forever).
Responsibilities of the Secretary:
Provide administrative support to the running of the Trustee Board of Ormskirk & District Scout Council.
Work with the Chair of the Trustee Board to set meeting agendas and arrange meeting logistics.
Take accurate and accessible minutes of Trustee Board meetings.
Distribute agendas, minutes and supporting documents for Trustee Board meetings.
Maintain accurate records for the District, ensuring the safety and security of information and complying with appropriate legal requirements.
Communicating regularly with the Trustee Board and, when required, with external organisations on behalf of the Scout District (e.g. Charity Commission).
Preparing for the Annual General Meeting, including collation of the Annual Report and Accounts.
When do I need to be available: No weekly commitments.
Details: 6 meetings per year, scheduled 12 months in advance.
