Job Summary
Our hospice was founded by two passionate volunteers who believed that their local community needed a hospice. Over the past thirty years, we have delivered care to thousands of local people each year – with volunteers and the support of the community playing a critical role in helping us to be able to help people at the end of life.
We know that not everyone has equal access to hospice care or to volunteering. You will help us to build on our legacy by ensuring that every community knows about the support we can offer and that our volunteering programme continues to evolve, creating opportunities for people to contribute in a way that suits them, so that they can experience the unique benefits of volunteering.
We are looking for a Head of Community Development & Volunteering to help us to drive our vision forward.
Head of Community Development & Volunteering
Full time (35 hours per week – flexible working requests considered).
This is a hugely exciting time to join our team, with a bold new brand soon to be launched, providing the perfect platform to amplify the work we are already doing. For the first time, we are working to a dedicated sub-strategy that outlines our vision for collaborating with our volunteers and our communities to strengthen the role of the hospice throughout Greenwich and Bexley.
As Head of Community Development & Volunteering, you will lead the team that delivers our core volunteering programme and our community outreach programme, as well as innovative programmes which span both areas of the role, such as our Compassionate Neighbours and Young Ward Volunteers programmes, as well as developing and building upon the links we are establishing with local groups who are keen to be learn more about and play a more important role in shaping hospice care. You will ensure that our priorities keep pace with a changing external landscape, identifying and leading new ways for the hospice to be an anchor institution in our local community.
You will draw on the valuable lessons we learned during the pandemic to drive innovation and deliver sustainable opportunities that contribute towards our ongoing success, whilst growing and nurturing our small but talented team.
If you’re an enthusiastic and strategic leader with a passion for community impact, do get in touch – we would love to hear from you.

Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes.
We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth that has seen us triple in size in three years; we now raise £1.5m a year and have an ambition to at least triple again. Our flagship fundraising event is our annual Gala; we will return to Raffles at the Old War Office this year on 8th November. The gala sponsorship pack is included with the job pack below. The evening consistently raises over £500k; this year, you will support the delivery of the Gala, but next year, you will lead it along with a calendar of cultivation and stewardship events that will help us grow partnerships with major donors, corporates and foundations.
While you will work in a small, fully remote team day to day, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas a year, which contributes to its $30m income; you can share the films and branding of their galas, meaning we can really stretch our budget to put on an outstanding event.
We are a small team, and whilst an events person is vital for our development if someone wanted to get involved in other fundraising streams, particularly corporate or major donors, we would be delighted to read about it in your application and discuss it at the interview or in a call before the interview—which are welcomed.
All current staff have visited India to see the programmes, and whilst we can't guarantee you a visit as we grow, it remains an ambition. We can offer a level of flexibility on hours, we'd consider someone four days a week, but flexibility and some extra (paid) days might be required around the gala time. Our Executive Director stops for 30 minutes at 3 to pick up his children from school, work patterns that suit you can be considered.
We share our interview questions in advance, welcome non-graduates, and strongly encourage applications from within Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic communities and underrepresented groups.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
