Location: Remote, based within West Yorkshire. This role will require travel to regular face-to-face meetings and events across West Yorkshire, with a current focus on Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. We also have regular team days, at varying locations. Related travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Funding: This role is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
