This role is best suited to those with a can-do attitude and the commitment and drive to deliver against deadlines with agility and efficiency. 

Bore Place is at an exciting point in its development. With a refreshed strategy to take us to our 50th year in 2027, good reserves and funding for development, we are aiming to expand the work of the charity and welcome more people to Bore Place.
