There are some skills that you will need to demonstrate that you have:

• The ability to prioritise, plan and manage a varied workload to meet demanding deadlines.

It would be great if you could communicate through the medium of Welsh, but this is desirable, not essential.

You’ll also need to be prepared to travel away from home when needed.

We recognise that this is a broad and varied role, and we don’t expect candidates to have extensive experience in every area listed above. What matters most is a positive attitude towards learning, a willingness to take on new challenges, and a commitment to undertaking training and development opportunities.  As the role, the charity and the wider sector continue to evolve, we are looking for someone who is keen to grow alongside us.
