The team have done their final performances the year. Thank you to the team for their commitment; they find it very rewarding.
Open the Book would love one or two people to join the team – they are particularly short of men!. You need to be available 1 Tuesday & 2 Thursdays a month.
All roles include working with children, so there is a safer recruiting process and some online safeguarding training to do. Neither are onerous and we will guide you through.
Please speak to one of the open the book team if you are interested in finding out more.
