Admin Volunteer

Are you passionate about making a difference and giving some of your spare time to support a small charity?

About Us

Sight Loss Shropshire is a successful charity supporting people living with sight loss across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin.

About the Role

We’re always finding new ways to offer vital services, exciting opportunities, and adventurous events – and we want to make sure everyone knows about them! Our monthly newsletter is widely enjoyed, but at the moment it’s only sent by email. We’d love to change that by offering a large-print postal version for our visually impaired beneficiaries, and that’s where you come in.

what’s involved

  • Making friendly phone calls to people on our list to see if they’d like to receive the newsletter by post

  • Using a tablet or laptop and a printer

  • Filling envelopes and adding labels

  • Helping with simple record-keeping

  • Pitching in with other admin tasks, if agreed and of interest to you

  • Support with admin and capturing the day

This role will be delivered from our office. You will work closely with the Sight Loss Shropshire team, based at Vichy House, 264a Monkmoor Road, Shrewsbury SY2 5ST.

If you are organised and great at communicating with people over the phone, we’d love to hear from you!

We particularly encourage applications from people with sight loss.

hours

Initially a couple of days to phone people on our list (this can be spread across a week or two, or any time frame that suits you). Then a few hours at the beginning of each month for the newsletter distribution.

What We’re Looking For

  • Ability to work with focus in an open office environment

  • Good communication skills

  • Respect and patience

  • Diligence

What We offer

  • The chance to make a vital contribution to keeping visually impaired people informed about support and services

  • Be a part of a friendly team that makes a difference

  • Paid travel expenses

  • Experience in office work and accessibility
