Team Hope requires a local coordinator for its Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Leading Irish charity Team Hope is looking to recruit a Local Team Coordinator/Office Liaison in Killarney to help manage its popular Christmas Shoebox Appeal.
The well-known Shoebox Appeal involves schools, communities and businesses donating gift-filled shoeboxes to children affected by poverty in Eastern Europe and Africa. Local Team Coordinators are integral to the success of the Appeal as they help to sort and send shoeboxes that have been donated in their area.
The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day activities of the Killarney team and checking centre, being the main point of contact for the general public and the Team Hope office for your team, promoting the Christmas Shoebox Appeal within their local area, and liaising with local schools and drop off points to help deliver shoeboxes.
"The Christmas Shoebox Appeal is all about communities coming together to build shoeboxes and bring joy to children who need it most," Team Hope’s National Shoebox Appeal Manager, Jonathan Douglas, said.
“We are looking for a passionate local team coordinator who can drive the Appeal in schools, clubs and businesses in Killarney to help deliver as many shoeboxes and smiles on children’s faces as we can in time for Christmas - every shoebox counts."
If you are over 18 years of age and be able to commit approximately 20 hours a week for the duration of the three month Appeal, Team Hope would love to hear from you.
