They will need to be able to work collaboratively with peers and colleagues, actively engaging with others and building strong working relationships.

Surrounded by an eclectic mix of boutique shops, charity retailers, coffee houses and award-winning eateries. You’ll be aiming to catch the eye of the influx of day-trippers to the town as well as engaging with the local community to build a volunteer team and secure quality donations.

Does this excite you? Have you got what we’re looking for?
