When We Need You
From 27/10/2011 to 27/01/2012
About Opportunity
I am looking for a self motivated and creative person who is enthusiastic about working with children and young people. Somebody who is not afraid to jump right in to the deep end and be pro active in seeking out good news stories from the local area. There is so much good work taking place and I would like the children to receive the recognition they deserve, as well as celebrating their success! I am looking for somebody to write a monthly newsletter and look at how we promote Active Schools in the area, i.e. the use of Social Media and other audio visual resources. In the lead up to the Olympic and Commonwealth Games it is essential that pupils and parents hear more about what is going on in their local area, how to get involved in events and activities, but also to have the chance to shout about what they are doing!
