Communication with the Van Coordinator and Ipswich Head Office so that throughput of tools is maximised but manageable
Deputising for the Centre Manager during any periods of absence such as holiday
Some form of Management experience in either a paid or voluntary role is essential and logistics experience in reacting to supply and demand is also desirable. You need to be willing to be 'hands on’ and willing to join in with the refurbishment work. You should have a sound knowledge of all areas of Health and Safety or an aptitude to learn quickly.

You need to have a friendly management style recognising that the others in the centre are all also volunteers, and able to work well as part of a team. You need to be a good communicator at all levels and able to be firm where required but also able to put tough decisions across in a gentle way.
