Salary: Band G (£27,480 with potential for pay progression)
Hours: 37.5 hours per week, with occasional work at evenings/weekends for Rainbows events.
Location: Primarily based at Rainbows Hospice, Loughborough, with occasional travel to support volunteers across the East Midlands
Contract: Full time / Permanent

Help shape the experience of volunteers across Rainbows

At Rainbows, volunteers support almost every aspect of our work – from fundraising and events, to our retail shops and the hospice itself – with over 400 individuals generously volunteering their time, skills, and passion.

As the Volunteer Coordinator, you'll play a vital role in ensuring those volunteers feel welcomed, supported, valued and able to make the greatest possible impact.

You'll also help shape how volunteering develops across Rainbows, supporting colleagues, improving volunteer experiences and championing the value volunteers bring to our work.

This is a varied and rewarding role for somebody who has experience of working with volunteers and enjoys building strong relationships, solving problems and supporting others succeed.

About the role

Working closely with the Head of Volunteering, you will play a key role in translating the Volunteering Strategy into day-to-day practice across the organisation.

You'll coordinate the volunteer journey from enquiry and recruitment through to onboarding, training, support, engagement and recognition. You'll be a trusted point of contact for volunteers, helping them feel confident in their role whilst also supporting colleagues across the organisation to involve volunteers effectively and confidently.

Alongside maintaining strong operational processes, you'll also help identify opportunities to improve the volunteer experience, strengthen volunteer engagement and support delivery of our Volunteering Strategy.

You'll also provide advice and support to colleagues across Rainbows, helping them involve volunteers effectively and create positive volunteering experiences.

No two days are quite the same. One day you may be interviewing prospective volunteers, delivering training, or supporting colleagues with volunteer management queries. The next you may be analysing recruitment trends, improving volunteer processes, or representing Rainbows at a community event.

What you’ll be doing:

· Managing volunteer recruitment, onboarding and induction.

· Supporting and guiding volunteers throughout their volunteering journey.

· Delivering volunteer training and development opportunities.

· Advising colleagues on volunteer involvement and good practice.

· Coordinating volunteer communications, engagement and recognition activity.

· Maintaining volunteer records and compliance processes.

· Using feedback and data to improve volunteer experiences and ways of working.

· Supporting delivery of volunteering projects and initiatives across Rainbows

About you

· Is comfortable using systems, data and technology to support their work.

· Is passionate about creating positive experiences for volunteers and supporters.

· Understands the value volunteers bring to organisations and communities.

Previous experience of working with volunteers is highly desirable, and experience of supporting, coordinating or managing volunteers would be an advantage.

Why join Rainbows?

At Rainbows, we are dedicated to making a real difference to the lives of children and families across the East Midlands. You'll be part of a friendly and supportive team where volunteering is valued and recognised as an important part of delivering that mission.

You'll have the opportunity to work with over 400 volunteers, influence the experience they receive, and help shape how volunteering develops across the organisation in the years ahead.

Could you turn bold ideas into campaigns that inspire people to give, volunteer and take action?

Mercy Ships UK is entering an ambitious period of growth and we’re looking for an exceptional Head of Marketing to help turn that ambition into impact.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the operational engine room of marketing at Mercy Ships UK, ensuring our fundraising, volunteering and brand priorities are transformed into compelling, integrated campaigns that reach the right audiences and deliver measurable results.

Mercy Ships operates hospital ships that bring free, life-changing surgical care and medical training to people who otherwise have little or no access to safe healthcare. Behind that extraordinary mission sits an equally important challenge: engaging more supporters, growing income, recruiting more volunteers and helping more people discover the work of Mercy Ships.

That’s where you come in.

Reporting to the Director of Communications and Engagement, you’ll lead a multidisciplinary marketing delivery team spanning creative, content, digital and project coordination. You’ll bring together people, ideas, channels and priorities to make sure great strategies become brilliantly executed campaigns.

You’ll oversee the campaign journey from brief to launch and evaluation, shaping creative ideas, coordinating digital and offline activity, improving workflows, managing resources and using insight and performance data to continually improve what we do.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across Fundraising, Volunteering, Strategic Communications, Communities and Engagement, Digital and the wider global Mercy Ships network. This is a highly collaborative role where your ability to influence, prioritise and bring clarity to complex activity will be just as important as your marketing expertise.

We’re looking for someone who combines creative judgement with operational discipline.

You’ll know what makes a great campaign, but you’ll also understand everything that needs to happen behind the scenes to deliver it successfully. You’ll be comfortable moving between creative conversations, campaign planning, digital performance, budgets, stakeholder discussions and team leadership.

You may already be a Head of Marketing, or you could be an experienced senior marketing or campaigns professional ready to take the next step. What matters most is your track record of leading integrated campaigns, managing multidisciplinary teams and turning organisational priorities into marketing activity that delivers results.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to maintain what already exists. We’re strengthening how marketing works across Mercy Ships UK, building greater integration between digital, creative, content and campaign delivery and creating a more resilient in-house capability for the future.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape those ways of working, develop the team and help create a marketing function capable of supporting Mercy Ships UK’s ambitious plans for growth.

And ultimately, the campaigns you help deliver have a purpose far beyond marketing metrics.

They help raise the funds, recruit the volunteers and build the awareness that enable Mercy Ships to bring hope and healing to people around the world.

If you’re an experienced marketing leader who loves making great ideas happen and you want your expertise to contribute to something genuinely meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.
