JOB OPPORTUNITY
The Lapworth Charity is looking for a new Administrator/Secretary. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is looking for flexible and generally remote working and wants to support an organisation which contributes to the life of our village.
The Lapworth Charity has a history going back 600 years. Today, it owns and maintains the almshouses at Pound Close, supports local institutions such as St Mary’s Church and the School and provides financial assistance where needed to groups and individuals within the village. The Administrator/Secretary works with the Trustees and small group of external advisers to deliver this work.
It is a busy time for the Charity as we have recently modernised our constitution and are undertaking various projects – you may have seen that solar panels are being installed at Pound Close. We are ambitious to do more.
The role of Administrator/Secretary requires someone who is organised, able to prioritise their workload and is happy to act and be seen as an ambassador for the Charity. You will arrange and attend various meetings (some of which are in the evening) and take minutes. You will be involved in the financial life of the Charity and liaise with our accountants.
The role is for a maximum of 20 hours each week with a salary range of £17-20 per hour. In addition, paid annual holiday and pension are provided. Whilst experience in a similar role is desirable, it is not essential for the right candidate.
To find out more about the Charity, please refer to our website and to the Charity Commission website www.gov.uk/government/organisations/charity-commission Our charity number is 1200967.
If you are interested in applying for the role, please do so as soon as possible. We have also advertised on various online sites giving a closing date for applications of the end of September. However we would be happy to extend that deadline for a short time for applications from residents of the village.
