Our Team Leaders coordinate and run impactful and enjoyable volunteering events at which donated children's books are checked, organised and boxed for distribution by groups of corporate volunteers.  They are responsible for managing all aspects of the day and also for helping ensure that the volunteers that attend understand the value of their contribution.

Our Team Leaders work as part of a team and are supported by Volunteer Coordinators at each session. Your role as a Team Leader will be to set overall objectives for the day, to brief your team at the outset and to ensure health and safety protocol is adopted. 

Our volunteering events are received very positively by participants and are very well regarded by corporates, most of which choose to book with us on a repeat basis.  The Team Leader is largely responsible for setting the tone of each day, for ensuring their effective management and for checking that all attendees can contribute and participate fully.

On any typical day with us this role might include:

• Briefing the Volunteer Coordinators so that they can support you
• Briefing the wider volunteer pool at the start of the session: introducing the rationale for our work and setting objectives 
• Ensuring plans are achieved and completing necessary reporting.

We run two volunteering days a week at our Birmingham HQ and are looking for a Team Leader that can help run one or both of these days - opening up the unit, managing the session and helping us reach our gifting objectives.

In London we are also looking for someone able to work one to two days per week, possibly more from time to time if they are available.
