Place and pattern of work
90% of this post involves work on a computer but the person appointed can work anywhere and anytime as long as the tasks agreed for the week are completed to an acceptable standard and on time. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will be able to work a minimum of 6 hours a week. Although much of the work is clerical and administrative this a good opportunity for someone who wants to work with a small charity to gain more experience.
