Interim Corporate Volunteering Manager

Our client is an environmental charity dedicated to putting healthy rivers at the heart of community life. Working alongside communities across London, the charity delivers practical environmental improvements, education and engagement to protect and restore the capital's waterways. They are now seeking an Interim Corporate Volunteering Manager (maternity cover) to lead their established corporate volunteering programme, providing businesses with meaningful opportunities to make a positive environmental impact while generating vital unrestricted income for the charity.

This is a varied, hands-on role overseeing approximately 100 corporate volunteering activities annually, including river clean-ups and restoration work. Managing a small delivery team, you will ensure activities run safely and smoothly, oversee scheduling and logistics, and build positive relationships with corporate clients. You'll also manage budgets, forecasting and income targets, working closely with fundraising and communications colleagues to identify opportunities to grow corporate engagement and maximise the programme's contribution to the charity.

The ideal candidate will bring strong operational or volunteering programme management experience, excellent organisational skills and the confidence to manage people, budgets and corporate relationships. You'll be commercially minded, comfortable juggling competing priorities and able to find practical solutions in a busy environment. Experience in the charity sector isn't essential, but enthusiasm for environmental improvement and delivering an excellent volunteering experience will be important. This is a fantastic opportunity to combine operational expertise with meaningful environmental impact.

Location: City of London, one day per week in the office
Contract: 12-month maternity cover
Salary: £42,000–£44,000 FTE per annum, pro rata for 20 hours per week, worked across four or five days
