The role would suit someone looking to offer a regular time commitment. You would need to organise and attend a minimum of four meetings each year. The Chair is an Office Bearer and in addition to voting rights, holds the casting vote.

• Access to a range of e-learning courses as well as local opportunities to keep your training up to date.
• Support from a Regional Operations Support Manager (per region)
• Support from SSAFA’s Welfare team, Volunteer Development team and Volunteer Experience team
