    Quakers in Britain (QiB) is looking for a well-organised, self-motivated and committed person to provide administrative and logistical support for our youth events and to provide general administrative support to the running of the QiB Yorkshire Centre.

    The successful candidate will be highly organised and able to work across multiple projects and deadlines. From managing enquiries and supporting volunteer recruitment to providing technical support at events and collating data, this is a varied role. No two days will be the same.
