With a small staff team, we need more volunteer help to support our admin - this includes writing emails, helping with communications or writing reports.

However, we would like a minimum of 5 hours per week as we will also invest time to onboard, induct and train you. We also ask for a commitment of ideally 6 months. However, we do appreciate that you may have some planned leave etc. within that timeframe.
