The Cares Family helps people find community and connection in a disconnected age. First established in 2011, our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation by creating and supporting meaningful mutual relationships between people who might not otherwise interact; to help people feel belonging, purpose and power in a rapidly changing world; and to bring people together across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

With so much of this role depending on excellent account management, we need a real people-person, skilled in delivering events. You will have excellent organisational and people management skills to deliver volunteer engagement opportunities.
