About Opportunity
I am looking for somebody who is self – motivated, creative and enthusiastic about working with children and young people! Somebody who is not afraid to jump right into the deep end and be pro – active in seeking out good news stories within the cluster. There is so much good work going on within the cluster and there is not a huge amount of recognition and celebrating success for these children. I am looking for somebody to write a monthly newsletter, look at ways of using social media to promote Active Schools and also to look at developing an awards ceremony at the end of term for primary and secondary pupils to be rewarded officially. In the lead up to the Olympic and Commonwealth Games it is essential the the pupils in the cluster hear more of what is going on, get involved in events/activities, but also have the chance to shout about what they are doing!
