Secretary (Volunteer Role)

The Collective on Anti-Racism (COAR) was nurtured on the stolen lands of Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country. We seek to curate anti-racist spaces in Canberra. We run a monthly anti-racist BIPOC-centred discussion group and hold small monthly community events for the BIPOC community. We also use our platforms to strengthen and celebrate the BIPOC communities in Canberra.

We are seeking a Secretary (Volunteer Role) with strong organisational and time management skills to join our Committee and support the day-to-day operations of our organisation.

COAR has a key ethos of sharing and centring the lived experiences of BIPOC people for the purposes of anti-racist learning. Our spaces follow our Principled Space Guidelines which you can find on our website.

The role of the Secretary is as follows:

• Ensuring action items and tasks are communicated clearly and being executed by the relevant members in the Committee, following up with them as necessary.
• Scheduling meetings, including chairing and writing the agenda and noting the minutes for the Committees weekly meetings.
• Maintaining up to date records of important documents and organisation requirements, such as volunteer contacts, public liability insurance, any necessary memberships.
• Managing the Committees calendar.
• Managing email communication.
• Supporting the Collective Manager as necessary.

You will be supported by the COAR Committee, but will be expected to work independently and take initiative. This is a volunteer role, with the possibility of remuneration, dependent on grants.

To apply, email your resume and cover letter to us.

A total of approximately 10-12 hours of work a month will be required for this position.

This is an identified position for people that identify as Bla(c)k, Indigenous, and/or People of Colour. We encourage people from a range of intersectional backgrounds to apply.
