Hampshire History Trust, the charity which runs Winchester’s Heritage Open Days, is searching for a Trust Secretary to join their supportive and welcoming board.

The role of Secretary is to support the chair by ensuring the board functions smoothly. The secretary may carry out their duties directly or delegate to volunteers or staff, ensuring that tasks are completed. Key skills include relevant experience, knowledge of the Charities Commission Trustee Duties and Responsibilities, good IT skills, analytical skills, ability to communicate.

Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity but with the satisfaction of supporting a distinctive and highly-regarded heritage organisation. The activities championed by the Trust have gone from strength to strength in recent years, and are at the heart of a thriving heritage movement in Hampshire. Beginning informally in 2016 with a Heritage Open Days programme of 40 events, by 2019, the offer had reached over 140 attractions ranging from chocolate tastings to live theatre, leading to the formal foundation of Hampshire History Trust – and the launch of a brilliant new podcast, ‘Hampshire Histbites’ in 2020.

HHT Chair Nicky Gottlieb said:

The Trust Secretary is at the heart of our team and will make a real difference to our work to bring Hampshire’s history alive. If you are as excited as we are about promoting the rich and diverse stories that make us who we are today, this is a brilliant opportunity to come onboard. Let us know!
