Summary
Chatterbox produces a talking newspaper for blind and visually impaired people of Norwich. The Volunteer Officer co-ordinates our volunteers and rota.Detailed description
The Volunteer Officer role can be performed mostly from home at any time except with occasional visits to our studio to meet new volunteers and to attend committee meetings. It is a trustee role.
IT skills including use of email and Microsoft Word and Excel are essential.
The Volunteer Officer is responsible for holding and updating the secure lists of around 100 volunteers; acting as the focal point between the Charity and the volunteers by the use of email and very occasionally post (for those volunteers who do not have an email facility); for contacting individuals who have expressed interest in becoming a Volunteer; for showing them around and allocating them to the rota; for updating the rota; for arranging occasional reader auditions, for attending the Committee meetings; for attending the AGM in March each year.
Chatterbox is a very worthwhile charity to be involved by bringing the news to people often isolated in their homes. It is run solely by volunteers.
