Volunteer Administrator

• The Driving Force - Falkirk

• VO101255

The Driving Force are a small, friendly local charity helping people living with cancer in Bonnybridge and Denny by providing free transport to hospital and free therapies in their own home. As an administrator you will often be the first interaction with the charity for donors and new volunteers. It's a great chance to make a real difference to local people in your community. All training and expenses are covered, and there are regular meetings and social events where you can meet other volunteers.

We are all volunteers here at The Driving Force and any help you can give would make a big difference. Your time commitment can be flexible and depend on how much time you wanted to give – 2-3 hours a week would be very valuable.
This opportunity includes processing requests from people wanting to volunteer, so you would be important in giving them a good first impression of the charity.
As this is a home-based opportunity, you would need to use your own phone and laptop with suitable, safe software installed. If necessary a laptop may be able to be lent to you.
Other tasks you can help with depends on how much time you have, your expertise, and what you enjoy doing. We would appreciate help with sending out thank you letters for donations, documenting feedback, keeping our website up-to-date, contacting people to offer our therapies and managing our documents.
You can also join in with other roles in the charity, such as fundraising, and take part in discussions to improve what we do and how we do it. If you would like further information, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
