A staffing shortage is proving problematic for Pacific Mini Games organisers in Vanuatu with just over seven months to go.
Van2017 CEO Clint Flood said a number of key roles still need to be filled to help them deliver the Games on schedule.
The Games website lists vacancies for a Client Relations Supervisor, Sports Competition Supervisor and an Operations Assistant.

It also says there are a variety of roles on offer locally in program/project management and support, operations, media, communications, sports, graphic design and technology.
Clint Flood said recruitment was proving a challenge.
"People leaving jobs to come for six month stints is difficult so we're working with the government to try to get some secondments over," Flood said.
"We've got to launch our volunteer program.
"We're right in the throws now of doing some detailed analysis of how many volunteers we need and where we might get those, so that's a key component of our delivery, to make sure we have our 2000 plus volunteers," he said.
Organisers are also looking to appoint a producer and director for the opening and closing ceremonies, while Flood said there were some financial challenges being worked through around the broadcasting of the Mini Games.
