Job description

Play a pivotal role in supporting doctors and medical students in times of need by leading a passionate national volunteer network. As Volunteer Manager at RMBF, you’ll shape and grow our volunteering community, driving engagement, awareness and fundraising impact across the medical profession.

Reports to: Head of Fundraising & Communications
Location: Hybrid – RMBF office (Wimbledon), with up to 2 days per week home-based, plus some UK travel
Hours: Full-time (35 hours per week)
Salary: £44,000 

About the RMBF

The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund (RMBF) is the UK’s leading medical charity supporting doctors, medical students and their families through times of crisis. We provide financial assistance and support to those facing hardship due to illness, injury, disability or bereavement.

At the heart of our work is the medical profession itself.  Our beneficiaries, donors, volunteers and ambassadors are all part of this community. Strengthening these connections is essential to ensuring that no doctor or medical student faces hardship alone. The volunteer network plays a pivotal role in that.

The charity has 13 staff, all of whom are based in our sole office in Wimbledon.  It is a friendly working environment in a converted Victorian house, very close to Wimbledon railway and tube station.

The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop RMBF’s national volunteer programme, working with a network of doctors and medical students across the UK.

As Volunteer Manager, you will lead and grow our volunteer strategy, strengthening engagement, expanding our reach within the medical community, and empowering volunteers to play a vital role in fundraising, awareness‑raising, and championing our work within their professional networks.

You will shape how volunteering works at RMBF, developing new opportunities, improving the volunteer experience and ensuring our network is equipped to support the charity’s mission and reach more doctors and medical students.

The Role

Doctors and medical students are central to RMBF’s identity and impact, and this role is designed to ensure we build and sustain an engaged, well-supported and effective volunteer network. Its purpose is to expand awareness of RMBF across the medical profession, encourage doctors and students to seek support when they need it, strengthen fundraising efforts, and build lasting relationships within the medical community nationwide.

  • Deliver targeted recruitment campaigns to grow the national volunteer network.

  • Maintain strong relationships with volunteers and implement effective communication, recognition and retention initiatives.

3. Programme Delivery, Enablement & Collaboration

  • Provide volunteers with the tools, training and resources to represent RMBF confidently.
  • Support volunteer-led fundraising, awareness and outreach activity, both digitally and in person.
  • Work collaboratively with all parts of the charity, with a focus on Fundraising, Communications and Casework teams.
  • Represent RMBF at events and within the medical community.

4. Safeguarding, Compliance & Data Management

  • Ensure all volunteer activity adheres to safeguarding, GDPR and confidentiality standards.
  • Maintain accurate volunteer records within the CRM.
  • Oversee volunteer-related policies, processes and best practice.

5. Monitoring, Evaluation & Reporting

  • Set and monitor KPIs for volunteer engagement and programme impact.
  • Gather feedback and drive continuous improvement across the volunteer programme.
  • Produce regular reports for the Senior Leadership Team and Board, highlighting growth, engagement, volunteer satisfaction and increased volunteer-led activity.

This role is designed around our current needs, with scope to grow and develop as the business evolves, offering you the chance to shape how it progresses.
