- Experience leading organisational change, transformation or projects.
- The ability to design and implement people-focused solutions at pace.

About the role
Help us transform the volunteering experience at Myeloma UK.
We're looking for an experienced People & Culture, People Experience or Senior Volunteer Management professional who combines compassion with action. Someone who leads with heart, builds trusted relationships and enjoys turning ambitious ideas into practical, sustainable solutions.
Reporting to the Director of People & Culture, you'll work with senior leaders, volunteer managers, People and Culture Colleagues and volunteers across the organisation to design and embed a modern volunteer experience that reflects our values and supports our ambitious People & Culture agenda.
