We are looking for someone keen to move into the area of advising small charities on management and governance issues.
We are a very ambitious local grant-making charity that also offers various training, support and consultancy services to small charities and community groups in West London. Our broad-ranging plans are now beginning to bear fruit and so we need volunteers to help us in the following areas as demand for our services continues to grow:
· Supporting small groups and start-ups with basic governance and management issues
· Assessing the impact of our services on groups
· Outreach to new groups
· Possibly helping out with grant application assessments when needed
Our ideal candidate would have a good all-round background in management, consultancy or organisational professional services gained over a number of years, but they need not be experienced in the areas mentioned above. You'd be given full training, with the opportunity to shadow the people already working in these areas. Far more important is adaptability, initiative, an ability to get on well with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and good organisational and writing skills. Most crucially you would have a demonstrable commitment to our ideals of promoting a strong and influential civil society in West London. You will thrive on challenges and find rewards in seeing our objectives achieved.
You would ideally be able to commit an average of 1 day a week and the work would involve dealing with our groups during office hours, so you will probably be someone who is working part-time, or is perhaps retired or semi-retired, or is otherwise not in full-time employment.
Much of the work would be taking place from home, but it will also involve some face to face contact with clients, so living in or around the Ealing, Hounslow or Hillingdon boroughs would be an advantage.
All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed and refreshments provided where suitable.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

- Experience with Google Analytics and ability to set up meaningful tracking

- Good communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
Nice to have:

What difference will you make:
When people search for help, we want them to find us. Better SEO means our new website reaches more people with Long Covid at the moment they're looking for support. Your work will directly help us expand our reach and impact.
Key Responsibilities:

- Ensure effective traffic is directed to our new site, including managing connections to our old site where advisable

- Set up Google Analytics to help us gather robust, high-quality data from our new website
- Collaborate with our team, brand advisors, and existing IT support to ensure you have all the information and access you need
