“This is a key position for someone who would like a new challenge helping a charity run totally by Volunteers in Shropshire including Telford and Wrekin and beyond” said Sonia Roberts Chairperson at their Members meeting last month.
She continued “This is an opportunity to work with a committed group of people (most have a disability or are carers) helping a local Shropshire charity to be the “Voice” for those who have a disability and/or caring for a family member. This is a great opportunity for a current or new/potential member of Shropshire Disability Network”.
“We are surprised no one has shown any interest to date. Ideally we could do with a Secretary and Assistant as they could share the role”
The role involves attending monthly Management Committee meetings, which are held in or near Shrewsbury; booking venues for meetings across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin; attending quarterly Members’ Meetings; emailing information such as agendas and minutes to members prior to the Members and to the Committee Meetings.
It is important the person is a team player with good communication skills, as apart from emailing members/contacts there will be times when you will need to contact by telephone as not all members have IT Access. You will also need to work together with the other Committee Members and provide support to our Chairperson.
You will work from home as they have no premises, so the post is flexible but it is a position that can be very rewarding and satisfying. If the role appeals to you and you would like to find out more, may be have a chat about it, email enquiries@shropshire-disability.net or call the Shropshire Disability Network chairperson, Sonia Roberts, on 07930 397 270.
