The Royal Armoured Corps Memorial Trust - Volunteer roles
Please note these volunteer roles are for The Royal Armoured Corps Memorial Trust and not The Tank Museum. The Tank Museum are advertising these roles on behalf of The Royal Armoured Corps Memorial Trust.
Benevolence Co-Ordinator
The Benevolence Co-ordinator will be responsible to the Chairman for managing the Trust’s benevolence activities. This is a part-time volunteer role, ideally suited for an ex-service personnel with a good knowledge of the Corps and its individual regiments or someone who is willing to learn. They will be the first point of contact for caseworkers requesting benevolence support, using the MOSAIC software. This unpaid volunteer post has flexible hours but is likely to take up at least two mornings per week, depending upon the level of demand.
Honorary Secretary
The Royal Armoured Corps Memorial Trust is determined that soldiers who have lost their lives during conflict will never be forgotten. We maintain a Roll of Honour, contained in four Books of Remembrance, which record all those 12,600+ men who have died in service since the Corps was originally formed in 1939. These Books represent the very soul of the Royal Armoured Corps. It is the responsibility of the Honorary Secretary to update them as necessary on an annual basis. We plan to digitise the RAC Battlefield Casualty Cards currently held within The Tank Museum’s archives. We hope to “put a face to a name”, and to add this photo to the digitised entry in the Roll of Honour. We want to build on this in the years to come. The Honorary Secretary will be pivotal in creating a team of volunteers to research and record these stories.
This unpaid volunteer post has flexible hours but is likely to take up at least three mornings per week, depending upon the level of demand and the amount of research undertaken.
