Could YOU help keep 'First Words' going after this issue?

Perhaps you want to get some new skills on your CV, or polish up some old ones? We need an Newsletter Editor (or two) to have ideas for articles, to get chatting with local parents and persuade them to write about their experiences, and to coordinate the copy. We need someone who is feeling creative to be the Newsletter Designer. All software is online so no IT expertise necessary, and no need for any special equipment, just an interest in graphic design. We also need an Advertising Coordinator to work with our existing advertisers and to source new ones. Please contact us if you fancy a go - no professional experience necessary, just enthusiasm! There are templates and handovers available for all roles. We'd love to hear from you on [email protected].

We are urgently seeking a

Branch Secretary

The administrator for the branch team works closely with the Branch Coordinator. Key responsibilities are: answering or redirecting email enquiries; organising meetings; keeping minutes; and collating and disseminating information through our closed Facebook group and Dropbox folders. Recruiting, retaining and supporting volunteers is also an important part of the role. Beyond keeping the admin shipshape, your ideas for developing more streamlined systems to share information and improve efficiency are always welcome! The role can be split between Enquiries and Minutes Secretary if necessary. Support available from previous volunteer. Please contact [email protected] if you might be able to help.
