Current opportunities:
– Sustainability and Accountability Working Group (SAWG) – Voluntary basis
We are looking for four volunteers who can help BDB develop by bringing their expertise and passion to the project as part of our BRAND NEW Sustainability and Accountability Working Group or, as we like to call it – SAWG (catchy, isn’t it?).
We would like people with a bit more knowledge or experience than us in the four specific areas; Customer, Financial, Partnership and Accountability, to help BDB develop those areas. We need creative people who take initiative, are outcome-driven, willing to learn, and aren’t afraid to make mistakes, as we often do.
All four roles are flexible and will be co-designed with the chosen candidates with regards to when the hours are worked and how outcomes are completed. We believe the more people power behind the project, the more awesome the results will be!
