Volunteer Opportunity: RMHCT Secretary

The Trust is recruiting a new Secretary, as our current post-holder is stepping down after many years of dedicated service.

The Secretary role is vital to supporting our organisation, which is a small charity. This varied and rewarding position supports the work of the RMHCT Trustees (the Council) - a group of volunteers who meet regularly to oversee and run the activities of the Trust.

The role would suit someone with good organisational skills, who may have secretarial, administrative and/or project management experience.
