JOB ALERT: Vacancies at Surrey Community Action

Surrey Community Action (SCA) is a countywide charity providing support services to local charities and voluntary organisations in both urban and rural communities.  They are currently looking to fill two important roles within SCA.

Application packs and further information for both posts is available on their website www.surreyca.org.uk, via Anne Barry on 01483 447 116 or by email to anneb@surreyca.org.uk.

SCA are passionate about equality and so welcome applications from all sections of the community, and offer interviews to all applicants with disabilities who meet the essential role criteria.

Both roles are based in Burpham, Guildford, but involve travel throughout Surrey, so access to transport is essential.

Both posts are being re-advertised; previous applicants need not apply.

SCA is a Registered Charity (1056527) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (03203003).
