Volunteering & Vacancies
Opportunities

Work Description
The BANT Diversity & Inclusiveness programme is established to grow the awareness of opportunity, together with confidence and capability, of BANT members to make their Nutritional Therapy and Nutritionist services available to broader, more diverse groups. In so doing, improve the awareness, appeal and accessibility of BANT member services to those broader, more diverse groups.

Programme team members are sought to help create, maintain and promote a pipeline of D&I resources & content. Team members will have significant scope to influence what deliverables are prioritised, enjoying being part of a highly motivated team, and join in the celebration and satisfaction whenever a project milestone is reached.

Skills required

If you have passion for the purpose together with any relevant experience, networks, connections, knowledge or skills, please do make contact to discuss.

In addition to team members, if you have a D&I related story to tell, or recommendations to make, please also reach out.

Do you know someone else that might be interested? Referrals are also very welcome.

Work Description
Regional Branch teams create the amazing events that enable us to come together, spend time with each other, network, engage with interesting speakers, gain CPD credit, goodie bags and perhaps not least, enjoy gluten and dairy fee catering

Our Regional Branches have, like many of us, experienced significant change during the COVID-19 restrictions, but bringing back a pipeline of events, virtual until face to face becomes feasible and attractive again, is a top priority. These teams need some additional members to share the challenges, work and eventual satisfaction to plan and deliver a highly valued event.

Skills required
Any form of event organising experience is very welcome, covering the range of project planning, venue finding, agenda preparing, logistics, virtual technologies, budgeting and more.

However, if you have the will, you can be supported to develop the skill and do so within a real team with a very meaningful, concrete deliverable to work towards together. So please, do not hesitate to contact if you have any interest.

Work Description
BANT Local Networks vary hugely in their size and nature but all help mitigate the isolating nature of our profession through being part of a supportive group of peers who meet regularly.

Some networks are tight social groups, others are larger and have semi-formal events with key speakers, some have regular chatter via a social media channel, others meet regularly via Zoom. Face to face meetings have also been a norm, pre-COVID-19, and hopefully will again once that becomes suitable.

Network Leads, either solo or with a partner, do the wonderful work to organise and sustain a network. This means organising meetings and their content, selecting and enabling the ways to meet (in person or virtual) and chat, sometimes finding venues or speakers. It also involves welcoming in new members and logging network meetings so they qualify for CPD credit.

If there is already a network near you, you may be able to join it or partner with the current lead. If there is not, why not try starting one? You can do so with coaching and support and some great resources to help.

View our existing Local Networks within the BANT Member pages, at BANT Networks > Local Network Coordinators List <link>

Skills required
Confidence and energy to network, organise, encourage and facilitate are the key qualities. Whilst connection remains mostly virtual, comfort with ways of connecting e.g. Zoom, Google Meet, Clubhouse, WhatsApp and similar, are very useful but can also be learned.

There is no one ‘right’ way to begin and run a network, but if you have the energy to give it a go, everything can be learned with support, so please do reach out if you would like to.
