If you are a communications aficionado who also has a keen interest in digital content and marketing with an understanding of the not for profit sector then this is the role for you.
About Us
Arafmi Ltd is a not-for-profit organisation providing support for families, carers and people with mental health needs or psychosocial disability, for more than 40 years.
