Volunteer Cornwall is a charity dedicated to building social capital and developing the wellbeing of individuals and communities across Cornwall. We do this by working in collaboration with a wide range of organisations to promote and support active citizenship and voluntary action covering the emotional, social, environmental and economic needs and opportunities in Cornwall. From our Head Office in Truro and our outreach teams across Cornwall, we provide support to all aspects of volunteering across the county. Volunteer Cornwall lives by 4 underpinning values which are: To be Creative, Caring Collaborative and Challenging.
Volunteer Cornwall’s new Accounts and Administration Manager is a critical role within our Senior Management Team, for the organisation and for the voluntary sector across the County.
