St Matthews Big Local is looking for a reliable and organised volunteer to take accurate minutes at AGM and Board of Trustees meetings. This is a great opportunity for someone who (either has experience) or would like to gain experience in administration, governance or the charity and community sector.
St Matthews Big Local is a community-led charity working to improve opportunities and services for local residents.
We are seeking a volunteer to attend our upcoming Board of Trustees meeting and produce a clear, accurate record of the discussion and decisions made.
The volunteer will:
• Attend the board meeting and take notes
• Record key discussions, decisions and agreed actions
• Clearly identify who is responsible for each action
• Prepare and type up the draft minutes following the meeting
• Send the draft minutes to the Manager for review
• Treat all discussions and information as confidential
The ideal volunteer will be a good listener with clear written English, strong attention to detail and basic computer skills. Previous minute-taking experience would be helpful but is not essential. Guidance and a copy of the meeting agenda will be provided.
This opportunity would suit someone with experience or with an interested in developing experience in administration, governance, charity management or community work.
This is an ongoing volunteer opportunity. The volunteer will attend our quarterly Board of Trustees meetings and our Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Meetings normally take place at 4:30pm at St Matthews House in Leicester. Meeting dates will be agreed and shared in advance. The volunteer should arrive approximately 15 minutes before each meeting and will receive the agenda beforehand.
