Role: Regional Secretary for South East Region

Location: South East Region

Contract Type: Voluntary Position

About the Role

The South East Region of British Cycling is seeking a committed and organised Regional Secretary to join the Regional Board. This is an important volunteer position that supports the smooth running of regional governance and helps shape the future of cycling across the South East.

The role contributes to the region’s ongoing development across all areas of cycling, from grassroots and recreational activity through to competitive disciplines. You will work closely with the Regional Chair and Board Members to ensure effective communication, high‑quality administration, and compliance with British Cycling’s governance standards.

What Will You Be Doing?

As Regional Secretary, you will play a key role in the administration and coordination of the Regional Board. Responsibilities typically include:

• Acting as the primary organiser for all Regional Board meetings, including scheduling, circulating agendas, and preparing meeting packs.
• Taking accurate minutes and ensuring actions are recorded, tracked, and followed up.
• Maintaining clear records of Board business, decisions, and documentation in line with British Cycling expectations.
• Supporting the planning and delivery of the Region’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), including managing timelines, papers, and formal requirements.
• Acting as a central point of contact for regional correspondence and ensuring communication flows effectively between Board members and relevant stakeholders.
• Helping the Board ensure good governance practices are followed throughout the annual cycle of meetings and activities.

This role is vital in helping the Board operate efficiently and transparently, ensuring that volunteers, clubs, and riders across the region receive strong organisational support.

About You

You do not need prior Board or secretary experience — what matters most is a willingness to learn and contribute.

The ideal person will:

• Be organised, reliable and comfortable managing documents, timelines, and meeting processes.
• Have good written communication skills and an eye for detail.
• Be willing to learn about British Cycling’s governance frameworks and apply them within the Region’s annual cycle.
• Be able to work collaboratively with the Regional Chair and Board members.
• Be committed to supporting cycling across the South East and helping the Region develop from grassroots participation to competitive opportunities.

This is a rewarding volunteer role where you’ll gain valuable governance and administration experience while playing a meaningful part in supporting the development of cycling in your region.

Please note, in order to be successful in this role you will need to reside within the South East Region.
