Headway - the brain injury association; Nottingham; Remote; GBP 40,000 - 60,000; Part time

Job description

Headway West London is an independent brain injury charity affiliated with, but separate from, Headway UK. We serve the boroughs of Ealing, Hounslow, Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington & Chelsea, and Westminster (though our trustees come from across London!). We provide information and services to support adult brain injury survivors (together with their families and carers) as they leave the major trauma hospitals and begin their rehabilitation process. We aim to make a difference by providing support, practical information, rehabilitation pathways, and by encouraging peer support. All of our trustees are volunteers, and we employ two part-time employees.

Role Overview

The committee members at Headway West London are looking for an enthusiastic volunteer to join our committee, taking on the role of our Secretary Trustee. Our committee meets monthly remotely (on the second Thursday of each month). As Secretary, you will be required to prepare the agenda for each meeting and take minutes. You will also be responsible for some compliance tasks including updating Companies House and the Charity Commission. You will work with the other trustees to help ensure the smooth running of this small charity to make a huge difference to its’ members.

Requirements
