Branch Vice Chair (Ratho Branch)

Seagull Trust Cruises
VO103243

Volunteering details

Seagull Trust Cruises, who provide short free canal cruises for the elderly, infirm, and those with special needs, are looking for a Vice Chair to support the Branch Chair in the normal manner and help lead the Branch Committee.

Experience required

Although there is no need for any experience in the Scottish Canal Network, the role obviously involves the running of a branch involved in canal activity. More important is the ability to work with our volunteer force (circa 90 at our Ratho Branch) and support the Branch Chair where required to ensure the smooth running and future sustainability of Seagull Trust Cruises. The branch are autonomous within the Seagull Trust Charity, and the committee comprises extremely competent Treasurer, Secretary, Booking & membership Secretaries, Boat Maintenance Convenor etc. together with the various skippers responsible for "manning the cruises". The role is wide and varied and will suit anyone with management experience (perhaps recently retired) who would like to get involved in the management of a vibrant charitable & well respected organisation.
