Moray Firth Credit Union is planning to open an outreach service in Buckie January and are looking for people who would like to be part of a team of volunteer tellers. We are also looking for a couple of people who may be to volunteer in Elgin, as our service has recently re-opened for one day per week, for a couple of hours. We are looking for people who want to give something back to the community. A credit union is like a community bank where we accept people's savings that then gets added to a pool of money from which our members can apply for a low cost loan. Our volunteer tellers are the face of the credit union, in that the teller the is responsible for the front desk, takes money, enters the transaction into the computer and gives the member a receipt for their transaction. The volunteer teller position is ideal for those who can handle money, who have a smattering of computer experience, who can exchange pleasantries and who can answer the telephone. There is enough in this volunteer position to not be boring and to not be too hard!
