Our dedicated Programme Team provides personalised support and feedback to every volunteer, ensuring they're equipped to make a real difference in young people's lives. This tailored approach has been key to our growth and impact – and means every volunteer feels genuinely valued.

Thanks to generous funding from partners including Google .org and the Moondance Foundation, we’re now excited to appoint our first Volunteer Manager – a pivotal role in scaling our volunteer base and deepening its impact.

- Developing strategic partnerships alongside me and our Partnerships Manager
- Understanding the diverse backgrounds and career journeys of our volunteers
- Owning the volunteer experience from first contact onwards and training colleagues to deliver best practice support, ensuring volunteers feel well-prepared, informed about their impact, and inspired to stay involved
As this is a brand-new role, there’s plenty of scope to shape and innovate. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone with excellent communication skills and a passion for volunteering.
Our team works remotely across England and Wales, with regular in-person meet-ups. We set high standards, support one another, and share a deep commitment to driving positive change. If this sounds like the kind of environment you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
