Are you passionate about the support CLAPA gives to adults born with a cleft? CLAPA is inviting you to become a member of the Adult Services Focus Group and is welcoming applications from people who would like to take an active role in developing and supporting CLAPA’s adult services.

- Adaptable, flexible, and willing to learn
- Friendly, enthusiastic, courteous, and reliable
- Able to work independently and as part of a team
- IT literate able to use e-mail and internet
- Able to maintain confidentiality
- Able to recognise boundaries and how and when to seek support
- Able to respond to emails in a timely manner (within a week)
- We encourage adults to apply who feel their group is underrepresented within our services
Time commitment:
- Once a month, provisionally for 2 – 3 hours per month. The day and time will be discussed at the time of the group being formed
