We would be delighted to hear from you, whether you'd like to take on a Director role heading up a directorate, or commit a smaller amount of time working as a Manager within one of the directorates. Alternatively, you can also join as a member of one of our Working Groups.

Please note that you need to be an OxCAN (associate) member before you can volunteer in one of these capacities. If you are not yet a member, visit our registration page to see if you're eligible and register if so.

We are very grateful to everyone who volunteers their time to help make OxCAN happen. The Directors (leading the directorates) commit around 4hrs/week and meet fortnightly as the Executive Committee. The Managers are more flexible and your Director will work with you to shape the role to the time and skills you can bring to the team. You will also have the option to join Executive Committee meetings in an observer capacity. Here are the roles we're currently looking to fill.
