Reflexology New Zealand (RNZ) is the national body for reflexology practitioners. Its constitution requires a secretary for the National Committee (the RNZ Board) to legitimately function, so this role makes a real difference.
Day to day, you'll:
• Submit a monthly Secretary report (bullet points, one-pager)
• Help the President set meeting agendas and follow up Committee members about their monthly portfolio reports
• Attend and minute monthly online Committee meetings (Monday evenings, 7–9pm) and attend one or two in-person weekend Committee meetings per year
• Draft and circulate minutes once the President has approved them
• Manage incoming emails and correspondence (small amount).
• Keep records updated in SharePoint
• Update the Registrar of Incorporated Societies as required by legislation
• Support the AGM in June each year
You'll build valuable, transferable skills along the way: governance experience, minute-taking and record-keeping, working with the Microsoft 365 suite, and the communication and relationship skills that come with being the central contact point for a national organisation.
Location: Mostly from home, anywhere in Aotearoa. The President is based in Paekākāriki. Travel to one or two in-person weekend Committee meetings each year (Auckland or Christchurch, October and March). Travel expenses are reimbursed.
• Comfortable with alternative health, specifically reflexology
• Competent and experienced at taking and writing up minutes
• Confident following up Committee members and working alongside the President
• Familiar with — or open to learning — the Microsoft suite, particularly Outlook, SharePoint and Teams
• Well organised, with good time management and warm, clear communication
Training: Can provide training about what reflexology is, including receiving a treatment every so often! Can provide familiarisation and handover from previous Secretary.
Around 1–4 hours per week. Monthly Committee meetings are Monday evenings, 7–9pm. Minutes take 2–3 hours a month (AGM minutes 4–5 hours, once a year ). One or two weekend trips per year for in-person meetings in Auckland or Christchurch, plus a busier patch before the June AGM.
