We are a small charity with BIG ambitions! We've set ourselves some big objectives and we are committed to delivering on those. Bring your skills, energy and commitment to help us raise awareness of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks.
We are looking for a hands-on IT & Digital Trustee to deliver on our IT strategy and provide hands-on support.
The trustee will be responsible for Microsoft365 administration with the support of our admin volunteers, management of our website agency and website, management of supporting IT systems (Password Manager), and support to day-to-day admin processes such as mailbox management and resolving technical issues.
Our organisation is run by trustees, supported by volunteers. Everyone brings with them a diverse range of skills and experience from a variety of professional backgrounds. We have the support and work with a team of medical professionals in this field from around the UK and globally through our Medical Advisory Committee.
The strategic oversight of the CSF Leak Association, as well as its day-to-day running, is undertaken by a Board of Trustees. Currently there are 5 Trustees but given the growth of the organisation and its future ambitions we are seeking to grow this number. We meet virtually every other month and communicate by Teams/Email throughout.
Role of a Trustee
We are looking for a trustee with experience in IT and Digital, specifically:
Interested candidates will be able to demonstrate:
(a) the ambition and values of the Association; and
(b) promoting the interests of leak sufferers
Experience of operating within a board or committee structure in a charitable, public sector or commercial organisation would be beneficial but not essential. We will provide support and training to help you transfer your knowledge, skills and experience to the role.
We have set ambitious objectives and we are committed to delivering on those objectives. Our ability to do so is dependent on our ability to make the most of the skills, energy and commitment of our volunteers. All of our Current Trustees and many of our volunteers suffer with the debilitating symptoms of a CSF Leak, which can have a very significant impact on our delivery. Whilst there have been huge benefits during our early days in involving people who have personal experience of a leak this can be limiting too in progressing at the pace we aspire to! Which is why we are now actively seeking to involve volunteers from outside our membership.
Interview will take place virtually with two or more trustees. If successful there is an application from to complete as well as 2 personal references and ID required.
