About this role

Mothers Network (Te Aka Haumi Ukaipo) provides a space for mums to focus on themselves, connect with other mothers and have honest conversations about motherhood. We do this through facilitated discussion groups to create a supportive, safe space for mums to connect.

We are looking for governance group members to help us expand our impact and reach more mums. In particular, we're after a Secretary to keep us on track. We also want to build sustainability in our key roles - Chair, Finance, and HR - so if you have skills and experience in those spaces, even better!

Key responsibilities

- Attend monthly Governance Team meetings (mostly online, with occasional in-person meetings when possible) and an annual strategy session

- Support the Secretary function to help keep the Governance Group on track

- Contribute at least 5 hours a month in addition to meetings.

What you'll bring

- Prior governance experience is ideal, but more important is your passion and time to devote to this mahi (having experience of a Mothers Network group is a huge advantage, if you know you know!)

- Ability to work well in a team

- Commitment to action.

You might be a great fit if you are:

- Committed to the vision and values of Mothers Network

- A strong communicator and able to engage in open and robust dialogue

- Positive, with a good sense of humour

- Authentic, proactive, and hands-on

- Open to learning and personal growth

- Can drive, have access to a car

- Are computer literate and have access to a personal computer

Lived experience counts - applicants must be a mum. Our services are offered throughout the Wellington region, so we're looking for someone Wellington-based.

Time Commitment: At least 5 hours a month plus monthly meeting plus one annual strategy session. Minimum term of one year, no maximum.
