Sands offers support to anyone affected by the death of a baby.
Our volunteers are incredible! They run peer support, community-based activity, build relationships with hospitals, run football teams, cheer at events and much more. Putting them first and enabling the activity they deliver is the primary goal of the Community and Volunteering Team.
Sands has over 120 peer support groups (run through Groups or Teams), over 100 Hospital Liaison Volunteers and many more volunteers who support with organising, running, and fundraising for local activity. But we know that there are still communities where in person, localised support for those impacted by pregnancy and baby loss doesn’t exist and where we want to grow. As well as invest in the experience and support for existing volunteers.
This is a high-profile and exciting new role which is responsible for ensuring provide a smooth, inclusive, supportive and empowering journey to all volunteers. Allowing them to be able to focus on what’s most important, the activity they deliver in their community. This means delivering on engaging recruitment experiences, smooth and informative onboarding, and meaningful recognition. This post is the linchpin in ensuring this all happens.
With experience of coordinating volunteering programme on a regional or national basis, you will be passionate and knowledgeable about the potential for volunteering within the charity sector.
You will be an outstanding, ‘hands on’, people person with energy, a positive, warm style, who can support and motivate people and teams to engage with projects with positive outcomes.
Experience of working with and getting the most out of CRMs is essential, as is the ability to establish and maintain productive relationships with a wide variety of internal stakeholders and volunteers working in a collaborative and inclusive way.
Additionally, you will be able to develop high quality resources which remain responsive to the changing needs of internal and external stakeholders, i.e. volunteering framework documents, process flows and template emails to help support an excellent volunteer experience.
