Available roles

Furness and Cumbria Section
The Section are looking for someone to take on the roles of Secretary and Treasurer, as well as people to join their overall committee to help generate ideas and organise events.
Fylde Section
The Section are looking for people to join their overall committee to help generate ideas and organise events.
Lancaster and Morecambe Section
The Section officers have recently stepped down from their roles in this Section after much valued and long-standing contributions and commitment to the area.
We are now looking for enthusiastic members to restart the Section. The roles of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are available, as well as people to join the overall committee to help generate ideas and organise events.
The Local Services team at head office assist with much of the admin, bookings, marketing, delivery of CPD certificates, as well as other tasks, so these voluntary roles should not be too time-consuming. Getting involved can provide good career development opportunities and helps you to shape education and CPD available in your area.
