Some Details

There is some flexibility for working hours, however to cater for our players it is anticipated the OM will be available at the hall for at least two evenings (to 730pm) a week, and will be available for some weekend work.  We do need someone who has a physical presence at the hall to help our players, but some work from home is definitely an option!

Badminton knowledge or experience are NOT required, this is an administrative role not a hands-on one!

We anticipate this role could be done in 25-30 hours a week, although this is flexible to be agreed with the successful applicant.
