Are you a kind, caring and compassionate individual who has a wonderful way of communicating with others within the local community - with the ability and enthusiasm to find out what support is needed?

An exciting opportunity to join our new volunteer service to help shape its future growth  – and we want you to apply!

We are searching for a new Volunteer Coordinator to join our small, friendly team in recruiting, managing, and matching volunteers to help us in our mission – supporting unpaid Carers to have vital respite from their caring roles.

As well as recruitment skills, the right person for this team will have plenty of common sense and be able to provide a listening ear, supporting people to access the holistic help they need at difficult times. 

Our service offers people appropriate information and guidance based on their individual circumstances and needs, so flexibility and good communication skills are essential attributes needed to carry out this special role. 

The successful candidate will be able to work on their own initiative; will have a sensitive and sympathetic approach to difficult situations, strong organisational skills, and the ability to co-ordinate a large team of volunteers, so if you have experience of working in health, social care or third sector organisations, recruiting and managing people, and undertaking assessments of needs - we would love to hear from you.

The role is based in our Wateringbury office, but travel will be required in Kent to visit families, meet and interview volunteers and attend events - so a full driving licence and use of own car is essential.

About our organisation

Music as Therapy International is looking for an ambitious, creative and relationship-focused Fundraising Manager to lead our fundraising as we enter an exciting new phase of our development.

Registered in 1998 and recently converted to a CIO, we are a small, established charity with a big ambition: To inspire, guide and champion caregivers to use music to strengthen care. Our work equips caregivers with practical skills and approaches that use music to improve the lives of people in vulnerable situations around the world.

We have entered a new strategic period focused on extending our reach, evolving our training and securing the future of music in care. In 2025 we operated with an income of c.£225k.  We are now looking for someone to build on this, bringing fundraising expertise, initiative and curiosity to help us turn our strategic ambitions into sustainable growth. 

About the role

As our Fundraising Manager, you will have a genuinely influential role in making that ambition possible. Working closely with our Director and wider team, you will take the lead on developing and delivering our fundraising strategy across trusts and foundations, major donors, regular giving, community fundraising, corporate partnerships and legacies.

This is not a role where you will be one small part of a large fundraising machine. You will have the opportunity to shape our approach, develop meaningful relationships with supporters and funders, identify new opportunities and turn our impact into compelling propositions that inspire people to give.

If you are an experienced fundraiser who enjoys having responsibility, building relationships and seeing the direct results of your work, we would like to hear from you.
