- To check that actions have been taken following decisions at previous meetings
- To ensure the trustee board meets its legal obligations, including reporting, meeting charity and company law, as well as insurance requirements
- To ensure all relevant stakeholders are informed of the annual general meeting (AGM)
- To ensure that the annual report (to go alongside annual accounts) is produced and sent to the Charity Commission of England & Wales

**The skills you need**:

- Experience of administrative procedures
- Good written communication
- Ability to provide clear advice on procedural and relevant legislative matters
- Organised and able to complete tasks accurately with good attention to detail
- Ability to listen and engage with people from a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences
