Key requirements:

  • Reliable and responsive access to email and internet
  • Ability to keep on top of a variety of related administrative tasks

You may not think that you are the right person for this job, but if your friends forward you a copy of this notice, pay attention to them! And if you know someone who you think would be good in the job, do them (and all of us) a favour – ask them to apply.

Key elements of the job:

  • a keen and fresh enthusiasm for recruitment and retention
  • a sunny disposition, a positive outlook and good communication skills
  • a willingness to be responsible for the encouragement of newcomers

You don’t have to do everything yourself – know that you will be well supported by your Kingdom and other Officers in this role.
