Hello,

Talking EDs (Eating Disorder Support Service Scotland) are pleased to say that we have some volunteering vacancies available with the non-profit, voluntary arm of our business, the Eating Disorder Therapist Networking Group.

This is a great opportunity to volunteer 2-3 hours per month while meeting new people, developing new skills and knowledge and gaining experience in the eating disorder field and in planning and organising meetings and events. This is a non-renumerated role.

We already have a small Planning Committee assempled but are looking for one more person to join before we re-launch the network.

If you are interested in becoming a Committee Member on the Planning Group, please get in touch for a Role Description. At this time, we are not asking you to complete an Application Form as we aim to make this process informal. If, having read the role description, you are interested in being consider for the Planning Committee of EDTNG, then will then organise an informal chat.

Although we are based in Scotland, we welcome anyone in the UK to apply for this committee role as you can join our meetings online (if some of us meet in person).

If you are interested in this role, please get in touch for a Role Description. If you are still interested, we will arrange a chat in the next week and consider your application.

If you have any questions, need any more information or would like to apply, please feel free to get in touch. Similarly, if you know of anyone who might be interested in applying as a Committee Member or joining as a Registered Member in the future, they are very welcome to get in touch with us.
