Families United (FUN) are a small but dynamic and passionate charity based in Warrington. We are dedicated to supporting families who care for children with disabilities. Through a variety of tailored events, resources, and community-driven initiatives we empower families to connect, thrive, and overcome the challenges of caregiving. We are now looking to employ a dynamic Business and Events Co-Ordinator to help support our growing charity.
Hours: Part-time, 16 hours per week with flexibility (occasional evening and weekend work required)

The Role:
This is a new and exciting position within the charity and will suit someone who loves to work with people and make a difference within the community.
