Read Easy South Dorset is appealing for a co-ordinator in the Dorchester area. Team leader Christine Voce said: “We need someone with a background in literacy who has about eight hours a week available. The co-ordinator must attend some team meetings. We are looking for someone who is very well organised with paperwork, can juggle demands and be comfortable meeting all sorts of people from all walks of life. Good problem-solving skills are an advantage.”
The co-ordinator would be one of a three-strong team and will attend an induction programme.
