| Volunteering opportunities based at the BCR York centre | |
| If you live near York and want to get involved, there are many opportunities to volunteer and help at the York centre, working with the dogs or in the many other areas needed to support the work of the charity. | |
| As well as general help, there are some specific part time managerial vacancies looking for the right person. | |
| Although experience in the different areas will obviously be an advantage, what we are seeking are people who have interest and enthusiasm for the sort of work involved and some time to dedicate to the charity. In BCR we work together as a team so there will be plenty of support, guidance and training available. | |
| Some of the work involved in these four positions is currently carried out by existing volunteers within BCR in addition to other duties they perform. | |
| (No wonder we are all so tired) | |
| By breaking down these areas and appointing individuals to run them, we will be able to do more and can treat each area as a developing project, giving the officer appointed to be in charge the opportunity to be involved in the way they are set up and run. | |

Border Collie Rescue is looking for a show
manager to book, organise and co-ordinate stands for the charity at Dog
shows, Agricultural shows and a wide range of other events around the
UK. The charity has two Marquees, generators and a range of other
display equipment. This also involves some office and computer work and recruiting and organising other volunteers. Flexible work, based at the York centre & from home. Can involve attending various events, usually at weekends. |

Education Officer This opportunity has been taken. |
Border Collie Rescue has a lot of
informational material available and we need someone to organise it all
into a cohesive educational program, the results of which can be
disseminated in a variety of ways to selected target audiences. The education officer will work closely with the fundraising, show and events managers to ensure appropriate material is available on stalls and display boards and will also work with our webmaster to develop, set up and run a new website with information and advice about Border Collies. Familiarity with Adobe CS5 publishing software would be useful, but not essential. The education officer will also be involved in helping set up and run a new video educational project with Colliewood Films, involving the commission of short educational films about Border Collies and the distribution of resulting material to appropriate audiences, including schools. This project will also involve the display of films at various venues using a DLP projector and other equipment owned by the charity. Flexible work, based at the York centre & from home. Could involve attending various events, usually at weekends. |
