Basic IT skills - internet & email, Teamwork, Reading & Writing, Admin
The Secretary must be able to record and summarise accurately the key points and decisions taken at committee meetings. Also, to plan meeting agendas (working closely with the Chair). Also to keep track of action points agreed at meetings. No specialist/technical knowledge is necessary to understand & minute Committee discussions.
The opportunity to contribute in a central role to a much valued local community group. Both the park itself and the Friends group are recent award winners. The results are tangible, such as additional facilities for the park as a result of FoGH's fund raising activities.
Approx 8 hours a month. However, there is a fair degree of flexibility depending on the extent to which the post holder - as a member of the Management Committee - wishes and is able to become involved in the wider activities of the Committee and the Friends group beyond the specific role of Secretary. Historically, the bi monthly Committee meetings have usually been held in the evening.
