COMMUNITY ADVICE ARDS AND NORTH DOWN LIMITED

Our offices are based in Bangor, Newtownards, Hollywood, and at The Ulster Hospital, Dundonald.

Although this can be largely a remote role, we will pay travel expenses (e.g., mileage or bus/rail tickets).

Last year, we provided advice and support to over 10,000 people on 30,000 issues, generating an income for our clients of over 3 million pounds.

A need has arisen within our group to support with PR & Media activities such as:

• Contacting local radio stations to promote our service
• Writing articles for local papers
• Designing and sourcing pop-up stands for events and coordinating events that we would host (such as our AGM, etc.).

If you have an interest and any experience in any of the above, or wish to learn, please get in touch - we fully support development in this role.

We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. For many people, the best thing about volunteering for Community Advice is getting to meet a wide range of people and make new friends. You can bring your whole self to volunteer with CAAND as we pride ourselves on serving a diverse community; and our people reflect the community we serve. There is a real team spirit within CAAND. Above all, it’s a chance to make a real difference. By volunteering, you’ll be playing an active part in improving the lives of people and influencing the development of national and local policies and services.

This is a great development opportunity for those seeking a career change or as a pathway to employment in Digital Marketing, Media, or PR, so please recognize we do require a time commitment.
