Recruitment Officer post

We are looking for someone to work with our Safeguarding Officer and to  undertake the safe recruitment of volunteers.

The role is largely administrative and there will be some training. Volunteers are not recruited often so the role is not too time consuming.

If you would like more information please talk to the Vicar, John our Safeguarding Officer or Elaine Lockwood who did the role previously.
