There are plenty of events that hold the community together, such as our vibrant Youth Theatre classes.
Overlooking the sea, it’s an appealing place to work.

- Making and delivering engaging social media with creative content
- Writing well for press releases, websites, and mailing lists

You will have
- Excellent communication skills, particularly when writing

If that sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you!
