Help MDA keep health and safety checks and assessments up to date, sharing your experience and working collaboratively with our Administrator and volunteers.
We are looking for someone who can help us make sure our health and safety processes remain appropriate and up to date.
If you have experience in leisure, health & safety, risk assessments or a similar area, your knowledge could be particularly valuable to us.
The role may include:
- Helping review our health & safety checks and assessments
- Making sure relevant paperwork remains up to date
- Providing advice and a fresh perspective when needed
- Working with the Administrator, Service Co-ordinator and activity volunteers to ensure relevant checks and assessments are in place
- Attending our activities meetings where appropriate
Activities meetings are held four times a year, so this is not intended to be a day-to-day role.
You don't need to do everything yourself – we are looking for someone who can provide guidance and work collaboratively with the team.
A combination of roles
There is also the possibility of combining some of these responsibilities, depending on your experience and interests.
For example, someone joining the board as a Health and Safety Lead may also be able to take on the Trustee role.
Trustees meet four times a year, with additional involvement kept to what is reasonably necessary.
What we're looking for
Above all, we're looking for people who:
✔ Are willing to make a positive contribution
✔ Can give a little time when needed
✔ Bring their own ideas, skills or experience
✔ Are happy to work as part of a small, friendly team
✔ Want to help MDA continue to support local people affected by dementia and memory loss
You don't have to do it all. We're a small charity and understand that volunteers have their own lives and commitments. We aim to share the workload, keep things manageable and make the best use of the skills people can offer.
Could you help us?
If you would like to find out more about any of these roles, we'd love to hear from you.
Please get in touch with Minehead Dementia Action Administrator to have an informal chat about what's involved.
