Just boosting this. Deadline for the activities coordinator role is this coming Monday, 15th.

 

@NelliePledge it's on Facebook here if that's any good?



Or the three jobs are on the VAS website:
https://www.vas.org.uk/job/activities-coordinator-12671/

https://www.vas.org.uk/job/information-officer-12673/

https://www.vas.org.uk/job/benefits-adviser-12672/

The groups website is very much in need of a revamp, and they don't currently have a volunteer who's able and well enough to do this, so we haven't got a page about them there.

Thanks so much for sharing!

 

Would MEA put a link to this on their website?

 

@MEMarge thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the slow reply. I think we're aiming a bit more at Sheffield/South Yorkshire networks and MEA are more national. Charles Shepherd is at the groups conference today though so I'll get someone to ask him. Still predominantly housebound so can't be there to meet him myself. Admittedly I've left this a bit late now as deadline is Monday but we'll see.
