IT trustee
The Richmond Society
Working with your fellow trustees and IT volunteers you will advise on how the charity can make effective use of technology in our work and advise on how we should manage the risks.
From an IT perspective, the Society’s needs are normal office-type systems, a website, and a CRM system for membership. We have a recently-developed membership system in Microsoft Access. We are in the process of migrating to a Microsoft 365 shared system for document storage and collaboration. The IT trustee role will principally be to: • Maintain an overview of the Society’s needs for IT systems. • Advise on management of the Society’s IT risks • Assist in selecting IT systems, reviewing contractual terms, and putting in place plans for systems implementation • Manage the IT volunteers (webmaster and membership database manager) and liaise with the social media manager as appropriate • Keep the IT trustee role description under review to ensure that it is appropriate and meets the objective of assisting the Society to make effective use of technology in our work • Assist in the general running of the Society.

Good IT Skills, Managing People, Organising & Planning
• Have a background in IT, or digital media, or a deep interest in developments in the IT sector that could be of relevance to a small charity • Have an understanding of IT risks and how they should be managed • Able to foster and promote a collaborative team environment • It would be a bonus if you have an understanding of SEO and of making best use of Google AdWords but we accept that might be a big ask!
We believe that the role will give you a sense of satisfaction, in particular offering an opportunity to: • Serve the local community by making use of your skills and experience • Contribute positively to both the local physical and social environments • Build and develop a network with like-minded people.
Variable – but probably the equivalent of half a day a week plus a monthly 2 hour trustee meeting in the evening.
