FAQs

We've been asked a few questions about this post.

Do I definitely need a full driving licence?

We currently use cars from time to time for our events. If you don't have a driving licence it would not rule you out for certain, as there might be ways around it, but might reduce your chances of success, depending on the qualifications of others who apply.

Can you explain how the 12.5 hours a week are decided or allocated?

The hours are likely to be concentrated around the delivery of events, and also might include time spent at events, which often take place at evenings or weekends, as well as regular programme meetings, which take place during weekday daytimes. The 12.5 hours per week is an average figure, based on how long we think the co-ordinator will need to work on all our events. If you need to work the same hours every week, this job might not be suitable for you.

How likely is it that the hours will be increased? If they are, when is this likely to happen?

We don't know at this stage. It will depend on how successful our events are and whether it is cost-effective to increase the number of events. The work of the events co-ordinator will of course play a role in this.

What if I can't make the scheduled interview dates?

Please tell us in the covering letter part of the application form, and let us know your availability immediately before or after the scheduled interview dates. However this will reduce your chance of being interviewed.
