Volunteer Branch Trustee – Secretary

What will you be doing?

As a Branch Secretary, you would be in an essential volunteer role as the principal communications trustee managing and maintaining the administrative affairs of our branch. Using your expertise and skills, you will be able to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives. Monthly Committee Meetings are generally 2-3 hours in duration. Above that, we are looking for someone with the right attitude to lead and drive our animal welfare charity. Ideally you can devote an average of 2-3 hours per week to this. The position is home-based, and currently, committee meetings are held virtually.

What are we looking for?

We are committed to creating a Board which is representative of our society and in particular, our community and surrounding areas so encourage people from any background to apply for any of our opportunities. Alongside professional experience, we are looking for someone who is committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and shares our passion for animal welfare. You would be creative, innovative, bring a fresh perspective, and can put ideas into action. You will need to be able to work with people and have good interpersonal skills. You do not need to be an expert although commitment, common sense, and the ability to be objective are vital.

What difference will you make?

Alongside passing on your expertise, this opportunity will allow you to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives. You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental, alongside fellow trustees, in running the Branch and setting out both the short and long term aims.
