Forum Administrator Recruitment
We are seeking to appoint a Forum Administrator to ensure the
efficient administration of all elements of Gloucestershire Parent Carer
Forum’s business. The Forum supports parent carers to participate in the
development of services for disabled children and their families and to be the

you will attend social meets to welcome Parent Carers and take feedback so some
travel in the county is expected (at present all meetings take place online and
all office based tasks are currently completed through home working). This role has been planned to allow for some
flexibility in working patterns to ensure it is accessible to Parent Carers and
we welcome applications from those with lived experience of parenting a
disabled child. Candidates should note
an early September start date is required but hours can be phased in over 4-6
weeks if necessary.
Hours: 12 hours per week (with potential flexibility around
school hours and school holidays if preferred)
Salary: £10.20 per hour (£19,890 Pro Rata)
The post holder will be an employee of our host Active
