Administrative assistance will be required periodically with sub-committees, including; Fundraising, Public Relations and Awareness as well as event management and the organisation of the branch AGM.

You will have demonstrable administration skills, be a sound communicator, capable of multi-tasking and have an eye for detail. The need for fairness and flexibility is also vital when leading and encouraging a largely volunteer workforce.
