Just Fight On! was launched in April 2004 and it's already 6
months since we
moved into our offices - how time flies! We are now ready to
take our next step, that is to formalise as a company and
registered charity.
As a community-based voluntary organisation, we wish to
appoint
directors from the community who have the right skills to
enable us to comply with our legal requirements and to ensure
that jfo is directed appropriately to meet its aims and
objectives.
Please contact us if you would like an informal chat about any
of the following positions:
Company Secretary
We wish to appoint a qualified [or near-qualified] company
secretary. This person will be responsible for annual returns,
legal
compliance and ensure jfo is governed well. For legal reasons
this position is open to residents in England and Wales only.
Treasurer
We wish to appoint a qualified [or near qualified] accountant.
This person will be responsible for preparing management
accounts, forecasts and year end financial
accounts. You should ideally have at least 2 years experience
and ACCA/ACA qualifications preferred.
Director/s
We wish to appoint at least one general director who will bring
to the
Board their skills and experience to help make jfo a success.
Your experience may be in any area but should involve
responsibility and maintaining high standards.
Specifications for all appointments
What will be involved: One to two meetings per
year plus telephone conference calls. Additional specific or
ad-hoc work depends on the person and appointment. These
roles
are not involved in the day to day running of jfo or its
projects.
Person Spec: As
a community group, we would prefer to use the skills of
recovered targets, victims' supporters or those who have some
kind of professional involvement in this
area, although this is
not essential. We seek responsible people, irrespective of a
persons' 'diversity'. We do not discriminate on any
grounds.
Location:
Unless otherwise stated,
we welcome applications from
any country. For practical and legal reasons the majority
of appointments will be residents of England and Wales.
Proximity to Slough would be
advantageous but not essential.
Payment:
All
appointments to the Board are unpaid
positions.
Travel and other necessary expenses for carrying out your role
will be paid.
Length of
appointment: We seek a
commitment of at
least one
year, where possible.
Application
Deadline: Please
send your CV and a
covering letter,
telling us about your commitment to jfo and the anti-bullying
community
by 1st July 2005. You will find our address below.
Please be honest - we are
understanding of gaps in CV's and reasons for leaving
employment!
Together we can...
Enquire or apply now!
best wishes and just fight on!
