eetings of the Steering Group and the wider Partnership take place on a regular basis and from time-to-time task groups are also established to take forward specific projects and actions.

This position is part time and the successful applicant will be contracted to work 3 days a week (21hrs). The contract will initially be for one year but may continue subject to securing future funding. Some flexibility will be required for this role as the days and hours worked by the Coordinator may vary from week to week, and occasional weekend and evening work will also be necessary.
