Detailed description

The role of Co-Secretary is expected to involve a time commitment of around 5-6 hours per week in total, split between the post-holders. BuDS works remotely and flexibly using Microsoft Teams, so much of the work can be done at your own pace at times which suit you best. Meetings are kept to a minimum as all the Trustees are busy people.  

Working closely with the Co-Chairs and Co-Treasurers, and split between the two Co-Secretaries, the four key responsibilities will be:  

 

  1. The running of the Trustee Board & its meetings 
  2. Arranging the Annual General Meeting and curating the Annual Report 
  3. Liaison with the Charity Commission  
  4. Supporting the move to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation  

What Experience & Skills Are Needed? 

These are the skills and experience we think are needed for this role, divided between the two Co-Secretaries. We are keen to develop people’s knowledge and skills through training and mentoring.  

 

  • Understanding of charity governance and the role of charity secretary 
  • Experience and knowledge of supporting meetings and decision-making 
  • Knowledge about Charitable Incorporated Organisations (essential for one post-holder) 
  • Can use Microsoft Office 365 applications for remote working 
  • A flexible, positive, problem-solving and organised approach to tasks  
  • Commitment to the social model of disability (both roles) 
  • Lives in England (both roles)
