New Zealand Wound Care Society

Estimated Time: 18 - 20 Hours Over 4 - 8 Weeks

The NZWCS provides a supportive network throughout the country for health professionals to share experience, expertise and knowledge in the area of wound care. Membership is open to all health care professionals, companies or employees of companies involved in wound care. We would like some help to review our approaches to operations and finances. We have one paid administration role who has adopted as many new technologies as possible to streamline our processes - but as they say...you don't know what you don't know. So we need someone to have a look and give us more ideas! We are looking for a volunteer with operational or finance expertise who can review our Xero accounting processes, understand how to forecast and budget in advance and how to review other operational processes.

Working location

We are based across NZ and use technology to catch up on a regular basis.

Proposed project steps with time estimates

Initial meeting is with Prue Lennox President to get an overview of who we are and set an achievable work plan. (1-2 hours)

You will be working with our Treasurer and Administrator to review our current processess and come up with suggestions of how we can improve. anticipate approx 17-18 hours work.

You will have support and resource from the Exec Committee to share the workload.

What We Have In Place

A very committed enthusiastic team!

We have thirteen branches: Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Rotorua/Taupo, Bay of Plenty, Manawatu/Wanganui, Taranaki, Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Nelson/Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago and Southland.

All areas have an Area coordinator and a National Committee member. The Area coordinator is responsible for coordinating meetings and seminars for the local branch members, while the National Committee member represents each branch at a national level. In some areas these duties are undertaken by the same volunteer.

We have 3 full time sub groups:
Pressure Injury Advisory Group (PIAG)
Leg Ulcer Advisory Group (LUAG)
Education Advisory Group (EAG).
In addition to these we set up Project Groups for time to time. The Wound Bed Preparation Working Group (WBPWG) and any other that the Society feels we have an need for.

The Society has a selection process for each of these groups. When new members are being sought we send out an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the whole membership, encouraging our passionate members to put themselves forward for consideration.
