Our network of branch volunteers brings a mix of diverse skills and community connections that significantly contribute to SSAFA’s ability to make a meaningful difference to the lives of serving personnel, veterans and their families in their time of need.
The branch secretary role:
Each branch has a secretary who oversees the communication and administration required within the branch.
You will be supported by a branch chair and branch treasurer in the running of the branch to create a welcoming experience to volunteers who live and work in your branch community.
Key aspects of this role will be to help raise awareness of SSAFA amongst the local community and with those who can act as advocates, ambassadors, and supporters. Providing administration for the branch members to create a calendar of activity to appeal to potential supporters and beneficiaries.
This includes ensuring that all branch volunteers are kept up to date with mandatory training requirements.
You will be supporting the branch chair and ensuring that all activities comply with SSAFA regulations both directly, and through the community engagement volunteer and other branch officers.
Working with the branch chair to ensure the branch is compliant with relevant regulatory practices.
The role would suit someone looking to offer a regular time commitment of about one day each week.
