Newton Town can only exist through the help and involvement of adult volunteers, and quite simply the more volunteers we have, the more that we can do as a club both on and off the field.
Volunteering in junior football in great fun and hugely rewarding. No experience is necessary, just lots of enthusiasm and ideas. As I am sure you will appreciate, safeguarding children is our number one priority, so we ask that all volunteers complete an enhanced CRB disclosure, and we may ask for a "character reference" from an employer or similar.
Below is a list of current "vacancies" - these are specific jobs that we really need someone to do. However you can still get involved in lots of other ways, even if the role that you are interested in does not appear in the list.
Our volunteer co-ordinator is Ian Tomlinson, so please contact him about any of the vacancies below or for any other information regarding helping with the club. He can usually be found at Coach Road on Saturday mornings, email tomlini@blueyonder.co.uk or mobile 07717 817 044
