Advising our groups and start-ups on management issues and supporting them with our other services
We are a very ambitious local grant-making charity that also offers various training, support and consultancy services to small charities and community groups in West London. Demand for our services is growing rapidly so we need volunteers to help us with the following: • Supporting small groups and start-ups with basic governance and management issues • Facilitating coordination between groups including organising events linking those with common interests • Monitoring our grant holders and assessing the impact of our services on groups • Outreach to new groups • General admin support

Our ideal candidates would have a good all-round management or professional background gained over a number of years, but they need not be experienced in the areas mentioned above. You'd be given full training, with the opportunity to shadow the people already working in these areas. Far more important is adaptability, initiative, an ability to get on well with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and good organisational and writing skills. Most crucially you would have a demonstrable commitment to our ideals of promoting a strong and influential civil society in West London. You will thrive on challenges and find rewards in seeing our objectives achieved.
