Job description

Are you an experienced office manager, administrator or PA? Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to use your skills to help drive a charity with a difference? If so, this is the volunteering opportunity for you.

What difference will you make?

We are a relatively new charity that is run entirely by volunteers. We have some very exciting new ideas that will help more people to give to different charities. As part of the Trustee Board, you will be in the driving seat as we develop these ideas and launch them to charities and people across the country.

What are we looking for?

• Have experience as an office manager, administrator or PA or in a similar role as Board Secretary
• Have great organisational skills and a keen eye for detail
• Have an excellent standard of written English
• Be proficient with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint
• Be friendly, approachable and have a can‑do attitude
• Be flexible, reliable, and trustworthy

What will you be doing?

You will join our team of dedicated and experienced trustees as Board Secretary for the Better Giving Partnership. This is the parent charity that guides the development of the givto.org fundraising service. You will first and foremost be a trustee, attending the board meetings every three months, taking part in discussions and decisions about our work, and helping to drive us forward. As Board Secretary, you will also be responsible for organising the meetings, producing the agenda and papers with our Chair and Chief Executive, and producing board meeting minutes. You will also be the person that holds the rule book about how we operate, so trustees will turn to you when the board needs advice. Our innovative charity fundraising service Givto has already helped more than 150 different charities of all shapes and sizes, across the UK and beyond. Our board will be taking some key decisions about how we operate and the services we provide over the coming months. So this is your opportunity to get involved and help shape an exciting charity that will provide services that really benefit good causes and donors nationally.
