Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This is a specialist facilitation and development role, not a trades contract. It will disqualify most builders, electricians, cleaners, and traditional tradespeople unless they have significant experience in tourism consultancy, stakeholder management, and sustainable development programme delivery.
