Konnections Manager

Konnections is Kerith's respite facility for children with disabilities & additional needs. Anja Davies, our current Konnections Manager, is stepping down from the role so we are in the process of looking for a new manager for Konnections.

I've included the outline job description below. If you, or someone you know, would be interested in applying then please email Lydia Harris-Lane, who oversees all of our work as a community with children and families, for more information and an application pack.

This is a key role for us to fill, so let's all be praying for the right person to come forward.

Thanks,

Simon.
