Volunteering Matters  

Who we are
At Volunteering Matters, we believe people have the power to create change. Whether through volunteering by helping others and giving time, or through social action such as speaking up, campaigning, or leading change, everyone can make a difference. We bring people together to build stronger communities across England, Scotland and Wales, making sure everyone has the chance to get involved and create real change.

What we do
We help people of all ages and backgrounds get involved in volunteering and social action. We focus on making sure that everyone, no matter their situation, has the chance to take part. We work with local people.

How we do this

We support people to share their time and skills to help others and tackle big challenges in their communities.

• We remove barriers to volunteering and social action, making it easier for people who don’t always get the chance to take part.
   
• We listen to and amplify voices that aren’t always heard, helping volunteers and communities influence change.
   
• We help volunteers beyond their first experience, offering training, support, and pathways to new opportunities.
   
• We connect businesses with communities, creating meaningful employee volunteering projects.
   
• We show the impact of volunteering and social action, proving how it changes lives for the better.

 
Our work across Newcastle
Volunteering Matters play a vital role supporting volunteering in Newcastle. Since 2005, we have been operating Volunteer Centre Newcastle (VCN). This service provides a wide range of support around all things volunteering to 1250+ charities, organisations, and groups locally. Each year, we also support 2500+ members of the public who are interested in volunteering and need support to get started. We also lead the Home from Hospital and Community Support project where volunteers support older people with their transition home following a hospital admission. 

In early 2025, we launched the Good Neighbours Newcastle project funded by Newcastle City Council. We deliver this project alongside our delivery partner organisation, Search Newcastle, with a second partner organisation scheduled to join in early 2026.

Good Neighbours project
We would all like to live in a place that has a sense of community, where people look out for their neighbours. The Good Neighbours project aims to foster a feeling of positive wellbeing and independence for those who may be socially isolated, or who don’t have many people around them, giving that “little bit of help”.

The project helps people in the community feel safe, supported, and more able to live an independent life, whilst preventing, reducing and delaying the need for formal support through Adult Social Care. It also provides people the opportunity to volunteer a little time, in a flexible way, to make a difference in their own community. We know volunteering can lead to enhanced skills, and positive wellbeing. Volunteers provide practical or social support, completing “one-off’ or short-term tasks, supporting a neighbour.  This includes tasks like collecting essentials, driving someone to a GP appointment, helping with odd jobs around the house, light gardening, or checking in with someone for a cuppa and chat. 

Role Purpose
We are looking for a talented, dynamic, and professional Project Manager to join our team in Newcastle.  The right candidate would be someone with excellent knowledge of “best practice” in Volunteer Management and with experience of establishing new and exciting volunteering programmes.

This is a senior role within our Newcastle team so it is essential that the postholder is agile, can work flexibly, is an excellent communicator, and can build strong working relationships with a range of people. 

In this role, you will:

• Lead and manage all aspects of the Good Neighbours project, meeting ambitious goals, ensuring all volunteers and beneficiaries achieve positive outcomes
   
• Lead and manage our partnerships on a day-to-day level with Search Newcastle and another local charity, to raise the profile of the project, ensuring successful delivery and ongoing development of the work
   
• Manage and lead our use of the volunteer management system, Volunteero, ensuring its effective use across our Newcastle work

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and strategic leader with extensive high-value events and senior stakeholder engagement experience to join us as our Head of High Value Events, where you will lead a talented team to design and deliver exceptional fundraising and engagement events that inspire supporters and generate transformational income for children. 

About Us 

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach. 

About the role 

As Head of High Value Events, you will be responsible for the strategic development and delivery of a portfolio of high-value fundraising and engagement events. You will lead and coach a team of events specialists, ensuring that every event deepens relationships with high-net-worth individuals, corporate partners and senior stakeholders, while also driving significant flexible income. 

The role will require close collaboration with colleagues across Corporate, Philanthropy, Government & Multilateral teams, as well as Public Impact, PR, and Influencer engagement teams, to ensure events are innovative, impactful and aligned with organisational priorities. You will also play a key role in managing relationships with senior stakeholders including Trustees, high net worth individuals and event committees.

In this role, you will: 

• Lead and inspire the High Value Events team to plan and deliver a portfolio of exceptional fundraising and engagement events. 

• Secure flexible income by meeting ambitious fundraising targets through strategic event design and execution. 

• Strengthen relationships with high-value donors, corporate partners, and senior supporters, ensuring excellent stewardship and cultivation. 

• Proactively identify and develop new event opportunities to grow income, expand networks, and drive a pipeline of high-value prospects. 

• Collaborate with colleagues across SCUK to maximise impact, ensuring events support wider fundraising and influencing goals. 

• Champion the use of Salesforce to manage and leverage supporter connections effectively. 

About you 

To be successful, it is important that you have: 

• Significant experience in leading and delivering high-value fundraising or stewardship events, with a strong track record of generating flexible income. 

• Proven ability to manage and inspire teams, empowering others to deliver with creativity and accountability. 

• Exceptional relationship management skills, with experience of working with senior-level stakeholders, such as Trustees, Committees, or high-net-worth supporters. 

• Strong new business development skills, with the ability to identify and convert opportunities into sustainable income streams. 

• Strategic planning expertise, with the ability to design and deliver a portfolio aligned to organisational priorities and impact goals. 

• Excellent communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to engage and inspire senior donors, partners, and stakeholders. 

• A results-oriented and adaptable mindset, with the resilience to thrive in a fast-paced and evolving environment. 

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values. 

What we offer you 

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance. 

We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work. 

We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. 

Closing date: 8 October 2025

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Location & Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact. Given the nature of our high value events you may also be required to work occasionally on evenings and weekends.

This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
