Do you have what it takes to join the Dream Team?
With a new membership scheme underway and a packed calendar of events lined up from this month right up to the Global Health Film Festival in November-December, it's time to open recruitment for the volunteer team again!
We are committed to providing a truly enriching and enjoyable experience for everyone who joins us for any of our events, whether online or in-person.
Our Global Health Film volunteers are based all over the world and are central to the preparation and successful delivery of our increasingly high-profile and influential programme.
With a hugely increased level of activity this year, we are excited to grow this completely brilliant team and we are looking for people from a range of backgrounds (global health, comms, film) to help us deliver an excellent experience for all our Global Health Film members and delegates.
Could you be part of this amazing team?

For some tasks you will work alone or offline in collaboration with one or more team members, and then take part in very regular online updates and briefings with the wider team.
