We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our 100,000 amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week. We have recently agreed our 2020+ strategy and begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people and volunteers at the heart of our organisation.

The Volunteer Policy team are looking for someone with a proven track record of writing and reviewing procedures and guidance documents to work with the team to support the implementation of policy.

If you are someone who enjoys researching and writing across a broad range of subjects, has a keen eye for detail and is able to communicate effectively we would like to hear from you.
