Back north

By Simon Varwell

Secrecy over – I have a new job and I am moving back to Inverness.

My new job is with sparqs and involves working with institutions throughout the north of Scotland on student involvement issues.  It will be based in Inverness but will involve a great deal of travel.  It’s a one year post initially, and as long as I eat my greens and promise not to run with scissors there’s a possibility it will be extended.

I start in mid-August, and move north a couple of weeks later.  It will be great to be back in the highlands, although I will be sad to leave Glasgow, particularly St Silas.

More on the details and my thoughts later.  But for now, it’s been a time of much confusion and indecision of late, and I have felt very supported by so many people thinking of me and praying for me in the last few weeks.

So thank you to all.

    since you are going to be filling a vacancy at this organisation where they had a gap before – does that make you a sparq plug?
