Volunteer Clerk to the Trustees

What will you be doing?

The Clerk’s duties will include:a) advising the trustees about the Club's constitution and charity rules and regulations;b) assisting the Chairman in drawing up the agenda and papers for trustee meetings;c) preparing minutes and maintaining the minutes book;d) maintaining the formal registers of trustees and trustees' interests;e) liaising with other trustees and officers, in particular the Membership Secretary andthe Treasurer;f) organising the order of business for the AGM;g) filing required documentation to the Charity Commission for England and Wales.h) keeping a register of the Club’s main contracts and formal correspondence.

What are we looking for?

Following the Club’s recent transition to a CIO and in the context of its plans for development, the trustees have decided to recruit a Clerk with an interest in the charity itself and its objectives; experience and knowledge of charity law and regulation, and an understanding of committee work.

What difference will you make?

The charity has exciting expansion plans - see the recruitment specification attached. In general terms, it enjoys a high level of prestige in the sectors within which it operates and is fortunate in having well-placed and influential patrons. The presence of a Clerk will complement its existing skill sets amongst the volunteers and trustees and constitutes a critical element of the charity's future success.
