You will get involved in every aspect of the team including pre-retailing, photography, fulfilment, stock generation, and Shopify, building relationships with internal and external stakeholders and one-off projects.
Day to Day Tasks:

Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community.
