We are looking for candidates who have relevant research, fundraising and communications experience. You need to be comfortable working digitally, have experience of planning and organising a diverse workload, possess excellent IT skills and social media expertise.

The post holder must be flexible and willing to get involved with other activities as appropriate to meet the changing needs of the organisation. Given the sensitive nature of MYPAS’s work, it is essential that discretion is exercised and confidentiality is maintained, with an empathetic approach applied to all areas of our work.
