Volunteer as a Communication Assistant – Join the WSRHT

WSRHT Communicaiton Assistant Advertisement
Voluntary Role Opportunity

We have a new voluntary role within the Heritage Trust to support the day-to-day management and development of the Trust’s electronic communications – including the website, social media accounts and corporate email – and associated IT solutions. It will involve day-to-day administration but progressively technical development and implementation.

Communications technology has developed at pace over the last few years and, although the Trust is a small charity with limited resources, the Board of Trustees wishes to ensure that its electronic communication is as accessible, user-friendly and informative as possible. This requires hands-on management of day to day activity, and we are planning several exciting innovations to be introduced over the coming year.

We are therefore looking for a person with suitable skills and enthusiasm to work with the Trustee with responsibility for Communications and IT, and with the Website Manager to ensure that our communications strategy can be delivered.

This role has a flexible time commitment and will be generally home-based.

If you would like to find out more, please contact

Chris Darke, Trustee – Communication and IT darke_chris@hotmail.com.

For an application pack please contact John Robinson, Trustee- Safeguarding and People jwrobinson01@talktalk.net.

Completed applications should be forwarded to him by email as above or sent to West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust, The Railway Station, Bishops Lydeard, Somerset, TA4 3BX to be received by not later than 15 August.
