Could you be our CDO?
We have now started our search for the Club Development Officer and hope to have someone in place early in the New Year. We are particularly grateful for the grant awarded to us by the Orienteering Foundation.
The OD CDO position will be for up to 500 hours per annum at a contract rate of £7500 for the full hours. Actual weekly involvement will vary according to activities over the year although it equates to an average of around 1.5 days per week after holidays and other breaks. The CDO will need to be within reach of our area in order to support activities on the ground, particularly those aimed at newcomers to the club.
A fuller description of what we want the CDO to do is on our development pages on this site. However, in summary, the CDO’s main focus will be to increase membership, offer a wider range of events and activities to existing and potential members and to modernise the club’s use of social media and communications. A significant part of the role will be to become the friendly welcoming face of OD to newcomers and beginners. It will also cover the reinvigoration of communication and social activity within the club so the person taking the position will need to have strong inter-personal and social skills.
Though they will need to attend activities and events in OD’s area at various times, many aspects of the role can be done remotely at a convenient time for the person doing the role. The ideal candidate would have some orienteering background and experience although the club would consider appointing someone from outside the sport who is otherwise perfect for the role.
