VACANCIES

BACK ON TRACK APPEAL - YOUR RAILWAY NEEDS YOU

The Appeal Team is looking for some volunteers to help administer the appeal. Are you available to help?

Role 1 - External Grant Application Officer

This role can be carried out from home and would be responsible for identifying and then drafting applications to secure funding from external organisations that make such funding.

The role holder will need to be IT literate and have access to a computer. The role holder will work with the overall Back on Track Fund Coordinator Peter Singlehurst.

They will also be able to seek advise from the railway's new Grant Funding advisor, a professional in the field who does not have the capacity to draft and develop applications, but has offered free advice based on 25 years experience in this sector.

Role 2 - Appeal Admin Assistant

This role is to carry out the administration of the ticketing allocation of seating and general management of the Appeal special events. The post holder will fulfil a similar role to that carried out for the allocation of ticketing for Polar Express.

The role holder will need to be IT literate and potentially available to visit the main office at Dereham on a occasional basis. It is envisioned the majority of the work can be carried out from home.

The role holder will work directly with the MNR Business Manager Kellie Woodard.

Role 3 - Commercial Sponsorship Officer

This important role is to generate and then follow up leads to secure corporate sponsorship that will be added to the the overall appeal fund. Corporate sponsors will, dependant on the size of the sponsorship, be able to advertise their support on the railway.

The role is effectively that of sales and would therefore suit someone of that background. The role holder will need to be outgoing, prepared to travel in the region if required and IT literate.

The role holder will work directly with the overall Back on Track Fund Coordinator Peter Singlehurst.

The Back On Track Appeal Team would also welcome other offers of assistance not covered here. Offers of general assistance or in other roles not yet identified would be welcomed.

Each role can be carried out by multiple people.
