Thanks to generous funding from partners including Google .org and the Moondance Foundation, we’re now excited to appoint our first Volunteer Manager – a pivotal role in scaling our volunteer base and deepening its impact.

The Volunteer Manager will lead efforts to further grow and diversify our volunteer base, ensuring consistent quality across sessions and fostering a vibrant, connected volunteer community. They will work closely with colleagues across England and Wales, with ambitious targets around attraction and retention.

Key priorities will include:

• Developing strategic partnerships alongside me and our Partnerships Manager
• Understanding the diverse backgrounds and career journeys of our volunteers
• Owning the volunteer experience from first contact onwards and training colleagues to deliver best practice support, ensuring volunteers feel well-prepared, informed about their impact, and inspired to stay involved

As this is a brand-new role, there’s plenty of scope to shape and innovate. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone with excellent communication skills and a passion for volunteering.

Our team works remotely across England and Wales, with regular in-person meet-ups. We set high standards, support one another, and share a deep commitment to driving positive change. If this sounds like the kind of environment you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
