News. What's going on in Furness
Another cracking opportunity
Another exciting opportunity that has landed on the FYP desk this week is from FYP member Dom Hall, who runs the UK arm of FieldSkills.com out of Ulverston. Dom is looking for an active and driven local person to take on the part-time role of UK Marketing Administrator for the company. Having worked with FieldSkills I know it’s a cracking organisation to be involved with and would fully recommend applying for this position. Further details below.
NB: Anyone looking for full-time employment should still apply as there is an opportunity to take on a parallel part time role within YourSafePlanet, requiring a similar skill set.
