The end of an era has come... Jill, our long-term Food Co-op Coordinator, is retiring.
Jill has been the heart of the Co-op since its very beginning!

We are so sad to see her go, but it does mean that there is an exciting opportunity to welcome someone new to join the Okines team as Co-Coordinator of the Food Co-op.

This is a flexible part-time role, with 10 hours per week. Applications close 25 October.
