Charity Manager - 6-8 days per month, remote

Lyme Resource Centre (LRC) is a charity with a mission to minimise risk of Lyme disease whilst encouraging the enjoyment of outdoor activities. This goal is achieved through education of the public and healthcare professionals about ticks and Lyme disease. 

The charity has grown significantly over the past couple of years, and now needs a suitably talented individual to work with the Trustees, to lead the charity into its next phase of development. 

This is a great opportunity to play a defining role at an exciting stage of LRC’s evolution.
