JOB OUTLINE
PART-TIME ADMINISTRATOR/DIRECTOR
The CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) Research Foundation is the only
charity in the UK focussing entirely on research into the devastating
disease usually known as ME. This illness affects 250,000 people in
the UK including 25,000 children. Its proclaimed aim is to support
high quality research aimed at understanding the basis of CFS/ME and
its treatment. It funds only biomedical research.
The Foundation is a world leader in CFS/ME research and its current
research is bringing us ever nearer to a diagnostic test which will
then lead us onto therapies and, hopefully, a cure. It has a
distinguished scientific committee. There is more information on the
website: www.cfs-research.org.
The trustees now wish to appoint a highly motivated person to work
with the Honorary Director to administer the charity, develop
fundraising and the website, secure proposals for research, service
its scientific committee and manage its affairs. The first task in
conjunction with the Honorary Director will be to produce, within two
months, a simple forward plan for the charity and to implement the
research strategy.
The candidate
While there is an office in Sarratt, Rickmansworth the person is
likely to be someone comfortable working from home and with a record
of good organisational skills and some evidence of developing small
charities or businesses.
A successful candidate would liaise with the researchers to ensure
that regular reports are produced and to encourage new proposals.
The essential requirements
An eagerness to bring the plight of people with this neglected
disease to scientists, doctors and the general public
Proven administrative skills
Willingness to learn or gain knowledge of scientific process and
medical terms
Self motivated
The desirable requirements
An understanding of fundraising
Excellent written communication skills
Comfortable raising funds in part for their own fees
The trustees have skills in accountancy, communications, fundraising
and research to support the appointment but are looking for someone
with the drive to design and implement a plan and the personal
initiative to take the charity forward.
The application process
Applications are accepted by email only and close at 5pm on 17th May.
These should include a CV explaining any gaps in employment history
and a covering letter providing evidence of how you fit the essential
requirements above please submit these by clicking the Apply Now
button.
Short listed candidates will be asked for interview on Tuesday 31st
May at The Medical Society of London, W1. These candidates will have
the opportunity to talk to Andrew Gairdner (Chairman) or Anne Faulkner
(Honorary Director) by phone or email prior to the interview.
The interview will last an hour and start with a 10 minute
presentation on the issues the candidate would seek to address in
preparing a forward plan.
The terms and conditions
A fee of 20,000 has been earmarked in the small unrestricted reserves
of the charity and will be paid over 12 months against targets agreed
between the person selected and trustees arising from the actions in
the forward plan. Thereafter the position would be dependent on
raising the funds.
The trustees will give every assistance in this process and would
expect a simple plan to be available for discussion within 4-8 weeks
of any appointment.
The fee will include the use of the appointees home and equipment as
a base and office for the charity, but exclude chargeable consumables
such as travel, phone, print etc.
The charitys current small self-contained office in Sarratt is
available if requested.
