About Us
Rebuild East Midlands is an innovative charity that supports people who have experienced the trauma and pain caused by human trafficking and modern slavery.

Our aim is to enable the people we support to embrace a hope filled future free from the reality and fear of slavery.

We’ve got a strong mission to empower, build resilience, help individuals find a sense of belonging, feel understood, learn and become as determined as we are to integrate, recover and grow. If this sounds like the type of mission you could thrive in, we want to hear from you.
The Role
As a Volunteer and Community Engagement Co-ordinator, you will take on a dual role working with both the volunteer strategy and within the community aspects of Rebuild’s work.
Within the volunteering element of your role, you will recruit, train, match and support volunteers to assist individuals who have experienced human trafficking and modern slavery.
