We are a not-for-profit, membership, organisation for over 124,000 colleagues from the civil service and public sector.
Since 1892, Birmingham Dogs Home has been rescuing, reuniting and rehoming dogs across the West Midlands. Each year, thousands of dogs receive the second chance they deserve thanks to the kindness and generosity of our supporters and volunteers.
As we prepare to celebrate our 135th anniversary, we're looking for an enthusiastic Volunteer Coordinator to help shape and grow our volunteer programme across our Solihull and Wolverhampton centres.
Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. In this role, you'll recruit, support and inspire people who generously give their time to help dogs in our care. From welcoming new volunteers and coordinating training to building relationships with local organisations and supporting corporate volunteering days, you'll play a key role in creating a positive and rewarding volunteering experience.
Working closely with the Head of Income Generation, you'll lead the day-to-day delivery of our volunteer programme, helping to ensure our volunteers feel valued, supported and equipped to make a real difference.

We're looking for someone with experience of coordinating or managing volunteers, who enjoys working with people and building lasting relationships.
You will be organised, confident in managing a varied workload and comfortable working across multiple sites. You will enjoy motivating others, bringing people together and finding practical solutions that help both volunteers and colleagues.
An excellent communicator, you will build relationships with a variety of stakeholders, whether you're welcoming a new volunteer, supporting an existing team member or developing partnerships with local organisations and businesses.
Most importantly, you'll understand the value that volunteers bring to Birmingham Dogs Home and be passionate about creating an environment where they feel appreciated and motivated to continue making a difference.
In return, we offer:
- Two weeks' free dog boarding
- 25% discount on veterinary treatment
- Free on-site parking
- Life assurance
- BHSF Health Plan
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Pension contribution
- Ongoing CPD and development opportunities
If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference and help people change the lives of homeless dogs every day, we'd love to hear from you.

Volunteers are at the heart of our work. Each year, they support over 70,000 young people to build confidence, develop skills and explore their futures through insight talks, workshops and events.
We’re looking for a Volunteer Coordinator to grow and support our network across Wales. This is a new role, created as we invest in strengthening how we recruit, prepare and engage our volunteers, with the opportunity to shape how this work develops.
In this role, you’ll build relationships with employers, public sector organisations and community groups to recruit volunteers from a wide range of industries. You’ll manage onboarding, support volunteers to feel confident and well-prepared to work with young people, and work closely with our Volunteer Manager and Programme Team to match volunteers to opportunities across Wales.
You’ll play a key part in ensuring volunteers have a positive, high-quality experience – providing ongoing support, responding to feedback, and helping us continuously improve how we engage and retain our network. Alongside this, you’ll track activity, maintain accurate records, and contribute to understanding our reach and impact.
We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, proactive and great with people, confident building relationships, managing multiple priorities and communicating clearly. You’ll bring experience of working with volunteers, or in a coordination or partnership-focused role, and have a genuine motivation to support young people to achieve their potential. And, we'd love someone who is confident communicating in the medium of Welsh.
This role would suit someone who enjoys working collaboratively, is comfortable working across a wide geography, and is motivated by creating opportunities and delivering impact.
If you’re motivated by purpose, confident bringing people together, and want to play a key role in expanding our impact across Wales, we’d love to hear from you.
