Our current Brigade Secretary, Alan Millward, retires in January 2012. Following consideration by Brigade Council and its Staff and Finance Committee, indications of interest are now invited from enthusiastic Brigade members and former members, who wish to be considered for appointment to the post of Brigade Secretary. (A more formal application and interview process will follow but indications of interest in the post are actively encouraged and welcomed at this stage.)
Given the Brigade’s current circumstances, the future nature and location of its National Headquarters is under consideration. Hence, there is real scope for the NHQ office to be based near to where a successful applicant is already located. What matters most is that we achieve the correct appointment and in an area where the Brigade is active. (Support from the existing NHQ staff is envisaged, wherever the new Brigade Secretary is based, and there is a Project Training Officer in place.)
The appointment may be undertaken on a volunteer or remunerated basis, probably part-time but not excluding full-time, where the Brigade’s ability to pay a salary and the candidate’s willingness to serve for what can be afforded, can be matched. It may be that the appointment may appeal to the early retired, still wanting a challenging and fulfilling job or a worthwhile and substantive voluntary involvement.
The nature of the role is high profile, being the Brigade’s senior administrative appointment, as well as its ambassador and candidates are sought from those with appropriate skill sets. These are likely to include appropriate levels of literacy and numeracy, together with experience of and skills in at least some of the following:
- Administration;
- Financial and budgetary control and resources management;
- Human resources matters and managing staff teams;
- Fundraising;
- Safeguarding;
- Charity operation and servicing committees.
Interested individuals should, in the first instance, write to the Brigade’s Governor, Mrs Pamela Corbishley, including a Curriculum Vita, indicating their career history to date, qualifications and experience; also illustrating how they feel they will be able to fulfil the role and what they will bring to it. You should also explain where you would wish to have your place of work, if you are able to provide a work base and at what cost; what time you would commit to undertaking the role and what remuneration, if any, you would be seeking for undertaking the role of Brigade Secretary.
Mrs Pamela Joy Corbishley
Governor
The Church Lads’ and Church Girls’ Brigade, St Martin’s House,
