Overview

The Friends of Heage Windmill are seeking to appoint a Secretary to carry out general secretarial duties on a flexible volunteer basis.

Heage Windmill, situated in beautiful countryside, is the only working windmill in Derbyshire producing stone ground flour in the traditional way. Rated as one of the most popular visitor attractions in the East Midlands, the unique stone tower 6 sail windmill is maintained and operated by volunteers organised by the Friends of Heage Windmill.

The Friends are looking to appoint a secretary whose role is would include handling correspondence, minuting meetings (approx. 6 per year), preparing and circulating meeting agendas and notes. The role will largely be carried out remotely with little requirement to attend the windmill. Someone working from some distance away could be accommodated. Basic IT skills would be required. The average commitment per week would be 2 to 3 hours.

Please note that this is a voluntary role with no salary but all necessary expenses will be covered. Full training will be available along with a handover period working with our current secretary.
