** Internal Job Title - Volunteer Leader (with Operative Function) **

About Us

One of the UK’s biggest charities, the Canal & River Trust looks after, and brings to life, 2,000 miles of waterways across England and Wales, because we believe that life is better by water. Every role across the Trust plays its part in transforming our canals and rivers into spaces where local people want to spend time and feel better, bringing wellbeing benefits to millions every day.

We currently have opportunities for a Volunteering Team Leader within our dynamic and enthusiastic Yorkshire & North East operations team, based at Apperley Bridge, Bradford (BD10 0PY) and covering the local canal networks. 

See our regional network via our 'apply portal'. 

Volunteer Leaders plan and deliver a wide range of volunteer activities and events, assist operational teams in their task management of volunteering activities and liaise with volunteers, volunteer groups and supervisors. They also play a key role in carrying out maintenance and repair works to the waterway infrastructure, to maximise network availability.

Volunteer leaders are also tasked with delivering day-to-day works in Operations & Environment, such as general maintenance & repair work. This will include operating Waterway Control Structures (further training will be provided) and tow path repair/cleaning. 

The post holder will be required to work an annualised hour’s system which includes working any 5 days out of 7 rota'd system including statutory holidays and weekends.

It is a busy role, and whilst much of the past year has resulted in many of our activities and plans being paused, we have a full 2021 plan to deliver for the Trust through our volunteering efforts.

About the role

As Volunteering Leader you will report directly to the Area Operations Manager, and work closely with not only volunteers, but operational team colleagues across the wider Yorkshire & North East team as you plan, assist, deliver and manage successful volunteer activities and events in 2021/2 and beyond. 

The restrictions and challenges that COVID-19 has brought within and outside of the Trust has had a significant impact on our programme of activities planned for the Region, however we now plan to pick up those activities that were paused, and deliver new programmes within our plan for 2021/2 with perhaps a new perspective on what we can deliver and how we can make it happen. 2021/2 will continue to challenge us as nationally we continue to work within ongoing restrictions, however it is important for the Trust to successfully thrive that we continue to work with our current and grow new volunteering relationships to have the positive impact we know we can.

Key accountabilities:

Leadership: 

• Management of volunteers in the delivery of works to ensure they are completed safely and to the correct quality, whilst maintaining volunteer satisfaction.
