Current Roles

All current roles are voluntary.

 

Dyspraxia Magazine is a small not-for-profit organisation, its current and only source of income is via the small number of sales that come through our online shop. Therefore, all our roles are voluntary. For safeguarding purposes, all volunteers on our roster must be aged 18+. Each of the roles are flexible to suit your needs and are all online. All Roles are entry level and do not require previous experience as training and guidance will be provided where needed. We do provide references for volunteers but expect a minimum of three months consistently volunteering with us. There are of course exceptions in extenuating circumstances.

To apply to any of these roles email your CV and Cover Letter to enquiries@dyspraxiamagazine.com
