Administration Support
ME/CFS Canterbury/West Coast Charitable Trust managed by Volunteering Canterbury
We are looking for someone to provide Administration support, for a person affected by ME/CFS or long COVID.
Due to the cognitive effects of our client's condition, she finds tasks such as completing forms and assessments, managing appointments, maintaining a calendar, and keeping track of important information challenging. She is seeking support with these tasks to reduce cognitive fatigue and help her stay organised.
We are looking for a patient, reliable, and organised person who can provide practical assistance with administrative tasks, help manage schedules and reminders, and support the client to maintain her independence and wellbeing.

People with ME/CFS, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis /Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and long COVID have a reduced level of functionality that means they cannot complete normal activities of daily living. An additional burden is that doing too much physically or mentally can trigger Post-Exertional Malaise – a worsening of symptoms that can last for days or more. Many people with ME/CFS are house or bed bound, are unable to work, and do not have access to adequate financial, home and mobility supports through the welfare and health systems.
