Branch Secretary (Barra)

SSAFA branches are there to support Veterans in their time of need. Could you support your local branch with this valuable service in your area? If you have administrative skills, good with IT, a good organiser and enjoy engaging with the community, we would love to hear from you.
The Inverness and Western Isles branch of the SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity is hoping to attract a new Branch Secretary to support the Branch Chair to provide SSAFA services for veterans in the community. The role of the Branch Secretary would suit someone who is keen to provide administrative and organisational support to the branch. You don't need a military background, but experience of administrative and good IT skills is required. Confidence to use email, MS Teams and SSAFA systems would be required for this role. You would need a weekly commitment to this role but is flexible around your other commitments.
You will support the Branch Chair to support and manage volunteers and assist in the onboarding of new volunteers to the branch. You would provide administration for an annual programme of meetings including the AGM, recording and implementing decisions. If you enjoy working with people and have good communication skills and written English we'd love to hear from you.
Wendy Taylor Volunteer Development Manager said 'Our charity and it's volunteers are proud of their long-standing heritage and all the work we do in Scotland, across the UK and worldwide. The volunteer role brings many benefits to the charity and to the people who give up their time. Through volunteering, you'll have the chance to meet inspiring people and also gain new skills and experiences, but most importantly, you'll make a difference to those who have dedicated their lives to protect and serve our country'.
