  • NUMBER OF HRS: 7-9  hrs per month (includes Board meetings)
  • WORKING FROM: Home (but also attending meetings in CBD)
  • REPORTING TO: C4C Chair and CEO

An ideal role for someone who is systematic, organised and interested in one day being on a Board of Directors (be it for-profit or not-for-profit).

You will work closely with our Chair of the Board to ensure all meetings are scheduled, agendas written, important documents received and distributed, meeting minutes are written, and tasks allocated to Board members.

The majority of work can be done outside business hours.

Responsibilities:

  • Attend all board meetings and C4C Annual General Meeting (AGM) (approx every 6 weeks)
  • Prepare and distribute board meeting agendas and minutes in a timely manner
  • Update and maintain the board’s tasks register online (currently using Trello)
  • Maintain and update the board’s Google Calendar
  • Maintain and manage the board’s Google Drive folders
  • Arrange meeting locations and catering where necessary
  • Assist the Chair with organising the AGM
  • Assist the Chair with managing the board recruitment process
  • Assist the Chair and CEO with ad hoc tasks.

Selection criteria:

  • Interest in social and/or environmental causes
  • Proven reliability and organisational skills
  • Highly trustworthy
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Good communication skills
  • Able to take initiative and work to deadlines
  • Able to commit to time required including all meetings
  • Positive attitude and passion for the role.
