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.

The Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham is seeking to appoint a full time HR Manager to proactively lead a comprehensive human resources (HR) service to the Southwell & Nottingham Diocesan Board of Finance (DBF) and the wider Diocese in respect of its ecclesiastical office holders.  The HR Manager will be supported by a HR Officer who is also the Executive PA to the CE and Archdeacons. 

Based in Southwell, the successful candidate will provide up to date advice to the senior team in support of our clergy and employees and, as required, to equip and enable parishes to ensure legal and regulatory compliance and leading practice.

This is an opportunity for a suitably experienced HR professional to use their skills to work alongside the Chief Executive in the delivery of strategic objectives and workforce planning in a complex environment.

The nature of the post will require a degree of mobility and flexibility, with work undertaken in locations around the Diocese and some meetings or training events taking place during evenings and weekends, for which time off in lieu would need to be taken.

Introduction

The Old Vic is London’s independent not-for-profit theatre, a world leader in creativity and entertainment.

The Old Vic is mercurial: it can be transformed into a theatre in the round, a space for music and comedy, has played host to opera, dance, cinema, music hall, classical dramas, variety, clowns, big spectacles and novelty acts. It was the original home of the English National Opera, the Sadler’s Wells dance company and the National Theatre. It's also been a tavern, a college, a coffee house, a lecture hall and a meeting place.

All of this is now in the bones of the building, and is as important a part of its open-armed, inclusive, welcoming personality as its grand historic decor and the iconic performances and famous productions it has housed. 

Today, Artistic Director Matthew Warchus is building on 200 years of creative adventure, with The Old Vic recently being hailed as London’s most eclectic and frequently electrifying theatre. Under his leadership, we aim to be a surprising, unpredictable, ground-breaking, rule-breaking, independent beacon of accessible, uplifting and unintimidating art.

We hold the belief that theatre needs to be cherished, supported and shared with as many people as possible. Our 1000 seats are yours from £10 a ticket. Our productions are diverse, adventurous, new, exciting. Our education and talent programmes allow students to explore, and artists of tomorrow to create. Our building is open and alive, day and night. Our theatre is yours.

So, whether you’re looking for a comedy or new musical, a dramatic work or dance performance, a £10 preview, a late-night cocktail or a show you can watch together as a family, there is always something new to entertain at The Old Vic.

Our Culture at The Old Vic

There is a collective will to sustain an environment at The Old Vic that is safe, inclusive, welcoming and happy. We want our theatre to be a beacon of enlightenment, entertainment, engagement and empathy.

Our working culture at The Old Vic is open, proactive and collaborative. As an organisation, we prize creativity and the bravery to be led by that. We all bring passion and an entrepreneurial spirit to our roles.

Above all, The Old Vic is a values-led organisation. We have high standards and we operate with heart. We care very much about our audiences, our staff, the impact we have on societal and community issues, and about contributing a body of world-class work. We want to sustain and grow our theatre, but not by compromising our standards or values. Each day, we want people to be reminded of why they joined us, and the attraction, excitement and welcome they felt when they first arrived.

To maintain our values and workplace culture we created The Guardians Programme, in dialogue with our staff, which has now been adopted by more than 40 organisations across the UK. The Old Vic Guardians are a group of trained staff who offer a confidential outlet for colleagues to share concerns about behaviour or the culture at work. We additionally also hold annual  sessions where staff can discuss what behavior is ‘OK or Not OK’ at The Old Vic and this is used to inform our cultural statement.
