• Analytics & reporting: Monitor and analyse social media metrics across all Centre’s social platforms. Utilise data-driven insights to optimise our content.

• Opportunities for professional and personal development (courses, workshops, training sessions)
• Annual contribution of up to CZK 10,000 for coaching, mentoring, or other wellbeing practices
