As part of our new season preparations, we are looking for someone to take a newly-created paid part-time role with the club, managing all aspects of the club's canteen and merchandise (uniforms, etc). This is a season role (Jan to Sept) and involves some weekdays activity, as well as managing the canteen and club shop on matchday weekends.
