A new Editor is needed to take over as Editor of SPA News, the
newsletter of the Social Policy Assocation. After 6 years in the
post, Saul Becker will be retiring in July 2001; the SPA would
therefore like someone to 'shadow' Saul from July 2000, gradually
taking over responsibility during the year before taking full
responsibility in July 2001.
SPA News is published 3 times a year; each issue involves an average
of 7 days work. The Editor is a co-opted member of the SPA Executive
Committee, which meets 5 times a year. The Editor is supported by 2
Executive Committee members who act as advisors and edit specific
sections of the Newsletter.
The post requires someone who:
* is imaginative and proactive in commissioning articles
* can organise and prepare material for publication (including
coping with tight deadlines and late contributions!).
* is a member of the SPA and up-to-date with contemporary issues and
developments in social policy.
It is helpful if the Editor has access to some secretarial support.
For an informal discussion, please contact Saul Becker 01509 223352
