Office experience opportunity - regular volunteers wanted
Grey Power Rotorua is entirely self-supporting financially, receiving no funding from government or other agencies, and employs no paid staff. With a membership of nearly 2000, we rely entirely on voluntary efforts to run the Association, and to keep regular office hours so that members and the public can be confident that if they come on down to the office, the doors are open as advertised!
We are looking for a new intake of people who are willing to donate 2 hours a week, or per fortnight, either 10-12 or 12 -2 on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday on a regular basis. During February, March and April we open Monday as well, as there is an influx of subscription renewals to handle, so an extra opportunity there.
This is actually a great opportunity for someone wanting to add office experience to their CV, someone feeling a bit isolated at home after having been an office worker, or someone wanting to stay active and serve their community in a really productive way. However, no prior experience is actually necessary, it's really easy to pick up. There are often times when you can do your own stuff, it's just that you are there for when someone does call in.
You can be any age from 18-99. There is a space outside in the parking area for smokers, as well as for your car / bike. The sorts of things that will happen will be enquiries of a general nature, which we then pass on to the right agency; the purchase of small value items we sell for fundraising - keeping accurate records, answering the phone and taking messages. At times we have mail outs of our magazine or occasional special projects, so help with enveloping or putting together membership cards would be welcome. Training will be provided, so you will not be thrown in at the deep end as so often happens.
You can find out more about our Association above under the ABOUT drop menu, and at our website (link on the left), and about the Federation of Grey Power Associations to which we are affiliated, at their website.
We would love to hear from you ! To make contact, please email us at greypower.rotorua@gmail.com
