We are looking for someone with a can-do attitude who is positive, flexible and enthusiastic and who is able to work independently as well as with other people. We hope to find someone with good IT skills and an eye for detail. Ideally you will have some experience of involvement in the community sector and an understanding of the needs of vulnerable people and disadvantaged communities.

We can offer a friendly working environment, some flexibility with regard to the hours and times worked and the opportunity to develop some new skills and experience.
