Admin Jobs in Glasgow
Remote role, with regular travel across West Yorkshire and North East England.
We are Zarach: the children’s bed charity. Our story and our work have captured the nation’s attention, with regular appearances on local and national TV, and with our 2023 Christmas Appeal being supported by The Independent. Our charity was built upon voluntary endeavour and over the last six years we have continued to be incredibly well supported by people who choose to give their time, effort, skills, and experiences as volunteers to our mission of seeking to end child bed poverty in England.
We are honoured and humbled to have people volunteer with us on both a regular and more ad-hoc basis, and across different areas of the work we do. In the coming years we are seeking to respond to the increasing problem of child bed poverty through:
-
Providing more bed bundles to children.
-
Providing additional support for families.
-
Using our experiences and learning to influence for change.
There are a significant number of volunteering opportunities we want to provide, and we are now looking for a Volunteer Development Officer to take this vital area of our work forward.
The ideal candidate will have experience of successfully supporting the promotion of volunteering opportunities, recruiting volunteers, overseeing volunteers’ induction and core training, and in the ongoing engagement and recognition of volunteers and their amazing contributions.
The main geographical areas (whilst not exclusively) of focus for us in the coming period are across the M62 corridor and the North East of England. The postholder would be required to travel across these areas but also beyond this, as we seek to then support more children in areas of greatest need across England in due course.
If joining a nationally captivating charity, that is in a period of exciting development, is what you’re looking for, please:
-
Look at the job description and person specification for this role.
-
Read through the supporting slides about our Mission, Values and Vision.
-
Look at us across social media to find out more about our work and story.
If you would like to apply for this role, please submit an up-to-date CV and a supporting letter (of no more than three pages in size 12 font) about why you would like to join Zarach and how you fulfil the requirements of the role. The deadline for applications is Sunday 7th April at 5pm and we won’t be able to accept applications after this time. We will be looking to hold interviews on 18th April.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

The successful candidate will have a proven commitment to improving the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and an excellent understanding of social mobility, diversity and inclusion issues.
