If you have answered yes to these questions, you may be the person(s) we are looking for

Building on our success in recruiting a volunteer clerk to support the Board of Trustees last year, we would like to broaden this opportunity, by recruiting a number of volunteer clerks to provide administrative support to Trustee(s) chairing one of the three committees of the board.

You will be responsible for taking the minutes of the meeting and for typing them up in an accurate and timely manner and for storing them electronically on our SharePoint system. In conjunction with the Chair of the committee you may be responsible for circulating agendas and papers for the meeting. We are currently Hybrid working with committee meetings in the main held online. Committees of the Board are held every other month and last for approximately 3hrs. They are scheduled for a year ahead and are held in office hours.

Home-Start Essex is part of a nationally federated organisation Home-Start UK (HSUK) with 50 years of experience of supporting families with young children struggling to cope with the many challenges they face. We recruit and train volunteers to support families, by offering emotional and practical support, in their own homes, over the phone and in groups to build the confidence, skills and strength of parents to nurture their children. This friendly supportive model is a simple yet effective way of enabling families to get back on track.

The role will be subject to two satisfactory references and an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Check. Please note this role is voluntary, but relevant out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed.

Closing Date for applications: Friday 14th July 2023

Interviews will be scheduled after the closing date.

Home-Start Essex is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

Home-Start Essex is committed to equality of opportunity and works to ‘Safer Recruitment’ practices as an important part of safeguarding and protecting children and vulnerable adults.
