We would of course agree with you the exact shape of this role, but we envisage some of the key tasks to be:

• Meet regularly with our CEO, to agree a range of premises tasks to take forward (eg, ‘secure 3 quotes for the replacement of the boiler and radiators’; ’identify all potential areas for additional built-in storage’  ‘consider responses to issues identified in our Accessibility Audit’ etc)
• Contact and liaise with suppliers or contractors as needed to provide specific and sufficiently detailed information about what’s required, and to receive quotes / timescales etc. (This is an important area as in order to apply for capital funding we need comparable quotations for the work)
• Help to co-ordinate a small group (2-3) other volunteers to support you in these tasks
• Provide feedback to CEO / Link Trustee and make formal recommendations for action or purchase, including provision of quotations

This is a new kind of volunteer role for us, and you'd be seen as an integral part of our team - we need specialist skills and experience to help us moved forward with our planned capital improvements!  You would liaise regularly with our CEO, and receive support both from him and from our Volunteer Co-ordinator.  We are a grassroots organisation and very collaborative, your input as a professional would be valued and listened to; and the outcome we hope would be that we can make real improvements to this extremely well used and much loved community resource - meeting the vision in our Business Plan 'to transform our historic building and spaces into inspirational contemporary places that enable our community to thrive'
