CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS IRELAND

Regional Development Coordinator-Cork based

Member Services Department
Cork Society of Chartered Accountants – Cork Based role
One Year Fixed Term Contract Initially

Part time- 30 hours per week

Background
The Chartered Accountants Cork Society has over 1,300 members in Cork City and County. Long established, the Cork Society aims to

  • Further develop Chartered Accountancy as a brand in the local market by means of local support and exposure;
  • Represent the views and interests of local members both to the Council and Executive of the Institute and in local business organisations and media.
  • Support local members by a range of social and professional networking and development activities.

The local society works closely in conjunction with the full time staff of the Institute based in Dublin and Belfast. The Institute has a number of specialist departments that deliver services to members across the whole island of Ireland and internationally.

A voluntary elected committee comprising a number of local members delivers the local activities of the Cork Society. A Chairperson and vice – chairperson are elected annually.

The Committee of the Cork Society has been very active in recent years in scheduling a number of events on an annual basis designed to support local members. These include social, networking and professional development events with attendees ranging from 40 to in excess of 300. The role of the local development coordinator has been instrumental in coordinating such events and in liaising between the Committee, members and relevant staff of Chartered Accountants Ireland, as appropriate.

The role:
Reporting jointly to the CACS Chairperson and the Chartered Accountants Ireland Director of Member Services, and working with the CACS Committee, the Regional Development Coordinator will act as a local administrator, event manager for local activities, and point person for dealing with the full time staff of the Institute.


The role requires a person who can, on a practical level, help the committee to better understand and to address the needs of its members; who can develop a broad range of good relationships with members, companies and practicing firms; and who can assist in delivering an engaging schedule of activities for local members.

Duties & responsibilities of the role; although not confined to;


Administration

  • Enhancing and maintaining a local database of members and their interests and needs
  • Performing secretarial and communication services to support the Chairperson, Treasurer and Committee
  • Attending monthly committee meetings, meetings of sub-committees (2 to 3 approx. per month) and other committee events.
  • Keeping the Society’s website up to date with relevant information for members including details of present and future events planned
Raising membership involvement in events

  • Informing members about upcoming society and building excitement and commitment to these events
  • Developing productive business relationships with members, companies and practicing firms
Event management

  • Coordinating the delivery of local events for members-particularly in the area of social and professional networking
  • Assisting the Committee in securing speakers for high profile events
  • Supporting the development efforts undertaken by committee members with strong follow-through and excellent logistics and delivery
Building the knowledge of the committee about the membership and its needs

Promotion of the brand with current and prospective employers, the wider business community and local media

Supporting Chartered Accountants Ireland in the logistics of delivery of examination and Continuing

Professional Development (CPD) services in the Cork area.

Accordingly, the following attributes will be fundamental to any prospective candidate;


Essential skills:

  • Have good inter-personal skills
  • Have strong written and oral communications skills
  • Be highly organised and capable of building strong relationships with members
  • Be a self-starter who can work on your own initiative to achieve objectives
  • Have strong PC skills (including MS Office packages)
Desirable skills:

  • Have some experience of delivering high quality events for a professional audience.
  • Familiarity with the accountancy profession and the local business environment while clearly an advantage is not required.
We would expect that the successful candidate will operate from his/her own office. The time commitment is currently estimated to average 30 hours per week. Flexibility is required, as some attendance will be required at events outside of the normal working hours. This is a contract role of 12 months duration, which may be extended further. This role is subject to a 6-month probationary period.

Applications, including curriculum vitae should be sent directly to Dawn Leane, Human Resources Department, dawn.leane@charteredaccountants.ie

Closing date for receipt of applications is close of Monday 13th February 2012
