The Charity

Our client is a registered charity. The charitable purpose of the organisation is defined mainly but not exclusively in terms of the provision of buildings. Their major source of income arises from the lettings and rentals from the buildings that they own.

What The Organisation Do

To achieve their objective, the charity's main activity is to maintain, repair, preserve and insure their 32 Meeting Houses, and other properties within the London area and to help pay for rented accommodation where appropriate. The charity has an extensive multimillion pound property portfolio and a program of quinquennial surveys and repairs/improvements. There is also a significant investment portfolio.

Local meeting volunteers act as the charity's agents in arranging lettings and in managing and accounting for income at a local level. All such income is managed by the charity as a pooled resource across the whole of London. The organisation therefore has extensive links with local Meetings, not only in relation to the physical state of buildings but also in relation to health and safety issues, insurance, lettings policies and rental levels, and local financial management.

Following a strategic review, the charity is seeking to recruit a new role to help them with this important work: a Volunteer and Local Meeting Support Officer.
