Overview
Small Services Volunteer role at Basildon Mind.
What difference will you make?
We are a professionally set up and run charity which complies with the national Mind charity’s rigorous quality standards (Mind Quality Management - MQM). Ensuring that we continue to run our small services professionally is of paramount importance. As a volunteer who focuses on this task, you will help ensure we continue to help as many local people as possible with their mental health.
What are we looking for?
To be successful you will be a well-organised, self-starter, who has experience running small services and undertake wider organisational responsibilities demonstrating high levels of professionalism, leadership and management skills.
What will you be doing?
* To ensure the regular smooth running of a small number of services, including several pop-up stands, several walking groups, an allotment and a yoga group. We currently hold one weekly pop-up plus one monthly pop-up. We also run 4 weekly Walking Groups, a weekly Allotment group and a Yoga group. These are all run by others but need light-touch management.
* To attend a small number of events (e.g. 1 per month), representing the charity. In addition to planned annual events, we get invited to other local organisations’ events or to make presentations to them.
* To apply for various small grants each year. These must be researched to meet their criteria, and submissions written, sent and followed up.
* To recruit and supervise a small number of specialist volunteers. The charity has 4 times as many volunteers as staff, including a small number of volunteers with specialist knowledge.
* Attend internal and external meetings, events and training as necessary.
* Undertake other tasks and duties, as deemed appropriate by the Chief Executive Officer.
