Become a Nottingham NCT Volunteer

Could you help Nottingham NCT with any of our roles?

Most of our work is done independently, so how and when it's done is very flexible (when the children are at school, after the 2am feed when you can't get to sleep but your baby is sleeping soundly).

Lots of the work is online which means it's even more flexible to fit around your own lifestyle.

We have access to a lot of NCT emails and phone lines, making it easy to re-direct or auto-response NCT work when needed (e.g. holidays, children's sickness, your own commitment levels) and avoiding your personal details having to be publicised.

If you are interested in volunteering in any area please call 0844 243 6231 or email enquiries@nctnottingham.org.

We currently have vacancies for the following;

Newsletter editor

The editor's job is to pull together articles from local contributors and from the online resource. Our former editor did an excellent job of producing a thick booklet newsletter each quarter but anyone taking over this role is welcome to produce the newsletter in any format they think is appropriate - perhaps an A4 folded newsheet every month or two, instead of a 72 page glossy every quarter!

There is a specific email for people to contact "Inform" and an active e-group of editors around the country who can help with anything you need to know, such as where to find the cheapest printing or how to use desktop publishing software.

If you are interested please call 0844 243 6231 or email enquiries@nctnottingham.org.

Branch secretary

This role comprises receiving information from UK office to pass onto the branch, arranging committee meetings and taking minutes.

If you think you could do that please call 0844 243 6231 or email enquiries@nctnottingham.org.

Postnatal groups co-ordinator

Our postnatal groups co-ordinator would welcome help with setting up and supporting the various local bumps, babies and toddlers groups we have around Nottingham.

She receives enquiries and we would like to put people together in areas where we haven't got groups, so that new groups can be set up. Some work could also be done to support current groups and heighten the profile of NCT in these groups by ensuring that we have up-to-date literature, newsletters and promotional materials.

If you are interested please call 0844 243 6231 or email enquiries@nctnottingham.org.

Advertising co-ordinator

An advertising co-ordinator who is confident about following up any queries we get about advertising in the newsletter or website from local businesses.

We also get requests to hand out leaflets at our Nearly New Sales, postnatal and antenatal groups and the advertising co-ordinator would arrange for the correct number of leaflets to be in the right place at the right time, and the company to be invoiced.

If you are interested please call 0844 243 6231 or email enquiries@nctnottingham.org. ; [original article]
