About the job roles…

The posts are designed to support you in growing your career and employability. You might already be doing work and volunteering which is supporting this so we are offering freelance contracts with flexible hours to fit in with other commitments you might have. We offer office and/or home working arrangements. To get the most out of the experience being an integral part of the team in person will help, but we understand that we are based in rural North Yorkshire so this might not be a practical solution. Mentoring and wellbeing support is available as well as time to develop your personal projects. We aim to contract a minimum of 350 hours of work over a 6-12 month period so you get the most experience possible from your time with us. We are a Living Wage Employer - £11.50p/h. Recruiting is on a rolling basis until the available posts are filled.
