The Senior Volunteer Coordinators play a vital role in ensuring an outstanding volunteer experience for these student leaders, as this creates the foundation for meaningful engagement with fellow students and the wider community.
As a Senior Volunteer Coordinator, you will lead on the volunteer experience across four key areas of student-led activity:
•Access All Areas – a volunteering programme that makes university education more accessible for over 500 young people each year.
•Student Action Volunteering – a community-based volunteering programme with around 18 projects tackling issues including homelessness and environmental sustainability.
•Student Fundraising – supporting students to raise money for local, national and international causes, with over £200,000 raised in 2023-24.
•Student Arts & Media – three award-winning media outlets plus a range of arts and performance-based student groups.
You’ll continue to advance the Union’s approach to volunteer management by recruiting, training and providing ongoing support for hundreds of student leaders, as well as coaching a team of full and part time staff to develop their own volunteer management skills. Recognising the impact of financial and time pressures on students, you will develop student leadership programmes that inspire them to build communities and develop skills to progress in their future careers alongside completing their studies. Working in partnership with external organisations, you’ll ensure that our student groups run activities that are beneficial to the wider community whilst providing an excellent experience for participating students.
As a Senior Volunteer Coordinator, you’ll ensure that students are at the heart of all your decision-making, continually improving our student leadership programmes according to our impact data so that students become empowered community leaders and active citizens.
There are two Senior Volunteer Coordinators based in the team, alongside colleagues similarly focused on at-scale student engagement across a range of programmes. The team aims to create opportunities for students to build and participate in communities that are inclusive, sustainable, ambitious, and impactful, and the Senior Volunteer Coordinators will play a key role in achieving this vision for our student leadership programmes.
Ensuring that our student leadership opportunities are meaningful, developmentally beneficial, and have the interests of our student community at their heart is important to us, so if you’re eager to help students fulfil their potential and have a positive impact on the world around them, you will thrive in this role. You’ll always have the right support around you to do your job well and will see the positive impact you’re having on students and the wider community in real-time, directly contributing to an outstanding student experience.
