Administrators

We need volunteers to help with our general administration, but also to support the Secretary in making sure PCE complies with statutory and regulatory requirements and best practice.

General administrative tasks include collating statistics, organising volunteer rotas, dealing with applications to be volunteers and pantry members, filing etc The general administration role will be based on site

Support for the Secretary could include taking minutes at Trustee Meetings, being aware of changes in legislation, drafting policies and other documents including the Annual Return, chasing action points, ensuring all risk management and other documents are kept up to date and reviewed etc. Prior experience of this sort of role would be helpful but training can be given. Most of this role can be done remotely.
