Availability

You will work from home and need to be able to commit on average 1 - 3 hours per week to the role, however our round of fundraising is completed annually, so six months of the year the role will be 'quiet', but as the time approaches for the group to make fund applications, the role will become a bit busier. You will be required to attend to face to face management meetings approximately every two months in Chichester, Bognor and Littlehampton by rotation.
