BOURNEMOUTH RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

JOB DESCRIPTION: A&M Fundraising & Social Secretary

ROLE OVERVIEW
One of the defining features of rugby is its social element. It’s fundamental to enjoying the game and building team spirit. As A&M Social & Fundraising Secretary, you are the glue that brings and binds people together, whilst raising funds for the club and associated charities through the events and activities that you organise. It requires great personal skill and charm, a love for the game and the club that’s both wide and deep, plus a genuine desire to get everyone involved.

WHAT YOU WILL GET OUT OF IT

You’ll be helping shape the character and future of the club. You’ll be bringing the players, officials, parents and members together in ways that will improve the way both A&M and the club runs – and add an extra dimension to their lives. We think this hugely valuable experience will have currency in any occupation.

• Enthusiastic, sociable and motivated

• Committed to the club

• An effective communicator

• Able to organise and plan effectively

• Able to creatively include all areas of the rugby club and A&M
