Volunteer Support Officer

WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity, and we’re on a mission to end child bed poverty, giving children the opportunity to engage at school and break the cycle of poverty. 

In our nearly seven years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has seen us deliver over 12,000 bed bundles to children to date!! 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we grow, we are looking to recruit a mission-focussed and values-led Volunteer Support Officer to join our Operations team.

As our ideal candidate you will need to be in commuting distance to our Leeds warehouse, meaning you can travel regularly to meet with the team. 

As a Volunteer Support Officer, you will be responsible for supporting volunteer engagement, ensuring smooth communication, and managing key administrative processes. This role requires a well-organised, digitally confident, and people-oriented individual who is passionate about making a difference.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of volunteer management in the charity sector, due to some of the specialities that come with this. But charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date. 

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £25,625 with progression up to £29,725 p/a (FTE) 

• 36 days annual leave (including bank holidays) prorated

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do” 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website and the coverage of us across social media.
