Operation Christmas Child UK (OCC) has implemented a strategic volunteer ministry, investing in teams of volunteers who will multiply themselves and hugely extend the reach of OCC’s mission.

OCC is the world’s largest shoebox appeal where Samaritan’s Purse, together with local churches here and overseas, distributes from the UK hundreds of thousands of gift-filled shoeboxes to children in need overseas and in so doing demonstrates God’s love in a tangible way while sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

A resourceful and dedicated Regional Volunteer Manager is needed to recruit, select, equip, and lead teams of volunteers throughout Yorkshire, Humberside, East Midlands and North East England.

You will be passionate about developing others towards highly effective ministry, teamwork and increased personal competency.

You will be confident to take initiative with people and projects and have proven people and project management skills, administrative and organisational skills.

You will be effective at directly engaging churches to participate in OCC in areas not yet covered by volunteers, to model and coach effective engagement activity to volunteers. 

This role is based in region and so prospective candidates should currently live in the region and provide their own transport. Given the existing and potential supporter base in South and West Yorkshire, it is strongly preferred that the role holder lives in or close to this area.

The School has had an ambitious campus enhancement plan and whilst rated as one of the 10 best value schools in the country, has maintained an impressive building programme.  The School seeks to complete its current campus plan with a new Performing Arts Centre before moving ahead with the next 10 year strategy.

Reporting to the Headmaster, the Foundation Director will be a member of the School Senior Leadership Team, and will be required to grow fundraising through a variety of different means, including major gifts, legacies, regular giving, grants and foundations.

The Foundation Office has put in place the groundwork for successful engagement and fundraising activity, and is working towards launching the School’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign, focusing on Bursaries and the Performing Arts Centre.

Candidates will be able to demonstrate a record of achievement in fundraising, ideally in an educational context; accomplished interpersonal skills, an excellent memory for names and faces with a proven track record of building trusted relationships; an ability to manage social situations with grace; alacrity; creativity and resilience.
