It will require you to run the very successful annual fundraiser on a roster basis (with other Canberra clubs), develop a parent/carer roster (each Uni J’s team to provide 4hr staffing once per season), purchase food items and communicate finances with the Treasurer.
Ideally, we are looking for a person who would be able to organise themselves and others and to be able to give up 4 hours on a Saturday morning once per month (TBC).
Full training covering club expectations & current ACT Hygeine Laws will be provided to the successful applicant.
