QUK Wants YOU!
Thank you for all the responses we received from our previous call for volunteers to get the 2023/24 season underway earlier this year. A number of key vacancies have been filled - including a new President, Clubs Director, Gameplay Director, and Volunteers Director - and we are heading in a positive direction.
We still however have key departments looking for Directors to complete our Executive Management Team (EMT) and roles across the organisation that need filling.
Firstly, we are in need of a Media Director. Sam Instone is currently holding the position on an 'Interim' basis, after spending two years away from volunteering for QUK at an executive level. Media is essential to sharing key updates with the QUK community, maintaining QUK's brand, and facilitating regular engagement with our audiences and wider communities and partners.
We are also in need of a Technology Director. Michał Kreft has been our Technology Director since May but is looking for someone to step up and take the department to the next level. Technology looks after our infrastructure, our website, and our integrations with other platforms including Quadball Scheduler.
Lastly, we have all of our open vacancies listed below that are up for grabs for anyone who is hungry to make a difference. We especially encourage applications from those who are considering taking a step back from playing, to help shape the sport for the next generation.
If you want to learn more about any of our open roles, send us an email to volunteers@quidditchuk.org.
