A superb opportunity to help us increase the impact that volunteers make within the NHS at St Mary's and Western Eye Hospitals in Paddington by growing our volunteer community and improving the quality of experience for volunteers and staff alike to provide patients with the care and support they deserve.

About us
We're Imperial Health Charity, an organisation that helps our hospitals do more through grants, arts, volunteering and fundraising. We support the five hospitals of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust: Charing Cross, Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea, St Mary’s and the Western Eye. 

During the height of the covid-19 pandemic surge during 2020 we channelled the huge outpouring of kindness from the public into vital wellbeing support for NHS staff and a better hospital experience for thousands of patients. Volunteers played a pivotal role in supporting our efforts during this time, for which we were awarded a Mayor of London Volunteering Award in the Crisis Response category.

About our volunteering programme
We’ve just completed our 2017-2020 volunteering strategy and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved over the last three years:

• engaged nearly 1000 volunteers
• appointed over 700 new volunteers
• achieved the Investing In Volunteers standard in volunteering management
• ran a successful youth volunteering programme for 16 to 25-year-olds, with 169 volunteers taking part
• during our most recent annual volunteering survey, 95% of volunteers agreed that their expectations of volunteering with us had been met.

Our approach is one of partnership, working with our hospitals, bringing our knowledge and expertise on engaging volunteers successfully, together with the hospital’s needs and expertise in managing health and care safely. 

During 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic we successfully managed an emergency response at our hospitals, engaging over 330 Crisis Response Volunteers (most of whom we recruited during the pandemic). Since the start of 2021 we have been working with our NHS partners to deploy our Reserve Crisis Response Volunteers as well as restart recruitment efforts so that we can support our hospitals as they roll out the vaccine, continue to treat increasing numbers of patients affected by the virus and help keep the health service running, in spite of the current pressures.

The Volunteering Manager role
As the Volunteering Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day running of the volunteering programme at St Mary’s and the Western Eye hospitals.

Building strong relationships across the Trust, you will empower volunteers to provide a high-quality experience for patients and staff and, in doing so, have an outstanding and highly-rewarding volunteering experience.

Day to day you will find yourself doing the following:

• Recruiting, training and supporting volunteers
• Identifying new areas for engaging volunteers
• Helping to project manage the design and introduction of new volunteer roles
• Supporting hospital staff who are working with, managing and/or supporting volunteers
• Developing training and guidance resources
• Providing support and line management to the Volunteering Support Officer

What we are looking for
You will be someone who thrives in a fast-paced and people-focused environment, with experience of working with and managing volunteers and volunteering programmes/roles. You will have strong experience of working methodically and within project management principles, with a keen eye for accuracy and attention to detail. You will enjoy juggling multiple projects, priorities and stakeholder expectations in order to deliver a high-quality service. You will have strong IT and systems skills with experience using digital CRM, project management and/or training systems. You will enjoy and be confident in creating and delivering training and presentations to different audiences. You are someone who plans and reflects, but who also is ready to get stuck in and help fix a problem if it arises, including resolving concerns or disputes between people.

If this sounds like you and you're looking for a new challenge then we'd love to hear from you.

Public Affairs Manager
Salary: £43,795 per annum 
Location: London
Contract: Permanent 
The National Housing Federation is the voice of affordable housing in England. We work at the forefront of the political debate not only on housing but also on a wide range of other policy issues including homelessness, welfare and planning. Our work affects the lives of millions of people across the country.
Housing associations are not-for-profit social landlords that provide homes and support for more than six million people in England. We think everyone should be able to live in a good quality home that they can afford. We’re working together to make that happen.
Effective lobbying is key to everything we do. We have built close working relationships at the most senior levels of politics and have established ourselves as the ‘go-to’ body on housing issues for Ministers and Shadow Ministers.
Last year we secured a £12.2bn Affordable Homes Programme for new social and affordable homes in the 2020 Spring Budget, worked with Government to ensure housing associations had the support they needed to deliver vital services through the pandemic, and delivered the sector leading Homes At The Heart campaign, which is recognised by over a quarter of MPs.
We need you to build on that work while leading our public affairs team at a critical moment of political and economic uncertainty. We need your support to ensure our voice is heard at the heart of British politics. As our strategic lead for public affairs, you will be responsible for promoting our high profile campaign and lobby aims to Parliament, and supporting our members in their influencing work.
We don't need you to be a housing expert. But you will have a strong understanding of the British political system and how to develop and implement public affairs strategies that have real impact. As a good collaborative worker, you will be advising, supporting and challenging colleagues across the organisation to give the Federation maximum impact.
This is an exciting role with the potential to make a real difference. If you’re up for the challenge, then we would very much like to hear from you.
The Federation is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and we value the contribution each individual makes to our work.  We are committed to ensuring our workforce reflects the diversity of the society in which we live and encourage applications from people of all different backgrounds, regardless of all protected characteristics or social background.
We are a disability confident employer and if you are a disabled person who meets the skills and experience we consider essential for the role, we will offer you an interview.
Please provide a CV and a covering letter setting out why you would like to apply, and how you match the technical expectations of the role.
Closing Date: 8 February 2021    
Interview Date: 18 February 2021
