Do you have some time you can spare for a volunteer position at Long Ashton Junior FC?

The club is entirely volunteer run and we rely on people in the community to run the club. We don’t expect these to be lifetime positions and so new volunteers are needed to regularly join the club to keep it running year after year.

We’re currently looking for new volunteers to take on our secretary duties. Previously these have been taken on by a single volunteer but are now looking to split this role into multiple positions to reduce the time we need from individuals.

No prior experiences is needed, just plenty of enthusiasm. We’ll make sure you get set up for the role and there’s plenty of support in the club.

If you’re interested in any of the roles below please get in touch by emailing [email protected].
