The charity has exciting expansion plans - see the recruitment specification attached. In general terms, it enjoys a high level of prestige in the sectors within which it operates and is fortunate in having well-placed and influential patrons. The presence of a Clerk will complement its existing skill sets amongst the volunteers and trustees and constitutes a critical element of the charity's future success.
