Travel project jobs

02 April 2012

Interested in helping with our Million Miles Project? TBI is looking for a full-time project officer for our three-year project to help Black Isle residents reduce their car usage, and we also need a part-time PR consultant and Bookkeeper.

The Million Miles Project hopes to reduce the annual distance driven by Black Isle folk by a mere 1% - or a massive Million Miles, depending on which way you look at it! We’ll be looking at the things that stop people using bikes, lift-share schemes and public transport, and trying to make them easier and more fun.

The Travel Project Officer will take overall control of the project, arranging events, liaising with other interested parties, managing part-time staff and co-ordinating volunteers. The PR Consultant will over-see the marketing and communications side of the project, and the Bookkeeper will maintain financial records, including PAYE and monthly reports against budget.

If you’re interested in any of these positions, we need applications by 20th April. Send a CV and covering letter, or in the case of the PR Consultant or Bookkeeper posts, a proposal setting out your background, your proposed approach to the work, and an estimate of fees. Applications should be sent to Martin Sherring, Stoneybank, Culbokie, IV7 8JH.
