Volunteer development officer jobs
About Us
Bridges Outcomes Partnerships (BOP) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that works alongside Government, community groups and specialist Delivery partners to design and deliver vital services that support people to improve their lives, in areas ranging from housing and employment to education and health & wellbeing.
The role of BOP spans project development (working with Government and others to design and launch the service), project management (coordinating the delivery phase, managing performance, and liaising with the various stakeholders) and project finance (funding the project until it starts to earn outcomes payments). Our own funding comes from a group of pioneering social investors, including The Office for Civil Society, Big Society Capital, Pilotlight, Trust for London, who, like us, are motivated by improving lives and changing the system for the better.
GMBOP is a subsidiary of Bridges Outcomes Partnerships, a not-for-profit social enterprise established to develop and deliver outcomes-based contracts in partnership with public sector commissioners and impact-driven delivery organisations.
About GMBOP
Greater Manchester Better Outcomes Partnership (GMBOP) is a place-based partnership supporting people across Greater Manchester who are experiencing, or at risk of, housing insecurity and homelessness.
We bring together voluntary, community and public sector organisations to deliver joined-up, holistic and preventative support. Through our central hub and delivery partners, we ensure people can access the right support at the right time, without having to repeat their story.
Our work is grounded in a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach. We focus on people’s assets, aspirations and choices — not just the challenges they face. We are committed to working collaboratively, promoting dignity, and improving long-term outcomes for individuals and communities.
We believe that people with lived experience and people who reflect the communities we serve bring essential insight, skills and leadership. We actively welcome applications from individuals with these experiences and from groups currently under-represented in the housing and homelessness workforce.
Role Outline
The role will work on the Pathfinder project which works across Greater Manchester to prevent young people from becoming homeless. The purpose of this role is to increase access to high-quality private rented sector accommodation in order to improve opportunities for participants to secure suitable and sustainable housing.
You will work across Greater Manchester to build and maintain strong relationships with private landlords, improving access to accommodation for frontline delivery teams and the young people they work alongside. You will also work collaboratively with colleagues across GMBOP and related programmes, such as Kirklees Better Outcomes Partnership (KBOP), to share expertise, learning and best practice, helping to strengthen housing pathways and maximise impact across the wider partnership.
This role plays an important part in ensuring housing pathways are aligned with our strengths-based approach — supporting young people to move into accommodation that reflects their aspirations, promotes independence, and contributes to long-term stability.

This role represents an opportunity to make a real difference to anti-poverty work at QSA and in the UK more broadly. Communications are increasingly central to developing our impact, and our intention is to generate more high quality, moving content that showcases:
• The deep impact of the support provided by QSA to people living on a low income or experiencing homelessness. Our services are created to fill ‘niches’ – the support people tell us that they need and is not being provided elsewhere. We aim to help people find dignity, comfort, connection and peace.
• The support provided by 4in10, London’s child poverty network hosted by QSA, and the impact of its collective action.
• Our campaigning and research work – and the changes it can bring about in policy and practice, with the goal of reducing poverty and alleviating its effects.
You will be helping thousands of people to access QSA’s life-changing services; to find resonance and community in our communications; to support life-changing anti-poverty work; to get involved in campaigns that move the needle; and more.
At QSA our values guide us to deliver services with compassion and dignity, and they also guide us in our workplace. Our small team is mutually supportive, conscientious and deeply committed to the aims of our work.
This role will involve building relationships with an extremely broad range of people, with a very strong focus on the people who participate in our services. An ethical storytelling approach is at the heart of QSA’s communications. Putting this into practice will involve bringing stories forward in deep collaboration with storytellers; with empathy, integrity, authenticity, and a commitment to amplifying voices that can go unheard. We want people to feel in control of how their stories are shared, as much as we want people to be moved by content that engages and inspires.
The communications officer role also involves many of the ‘bread and butter’ tasks of an effective communications function: content production, analytics, social media management and so on. We are currently in the midst of a full-scale overhaul of the QSA website.
More important than coming with experience in every part of these duties, however, is a curiosity and enthusiasm to learn and take on healthy challenges (in which we aim to give you the support you need); as well as a flair for getting to the heart of the story – not only in the content itself, but also in understanding the bigger picture of our communications and our direction of travel together.
Purpose of role
To develop the communications output of QSA across all platforms, supporting delivery of the aims of QSA’s organisational and fundraising & communications strategies. To centre QSA’s communications work in an ethical storytelling approach.
Duties & responsibilities
- To contribute to a plan and timetable for QSA’s communications work.
- To uphold clear protocols on how we gather and share stories and impact, to hold ourselves to the highest standards around ethics and wellbeing.
- To work in the community and across all QSA’s services, to get to know the people who access them, sensitively inviting people to share their stories or consent to photos.
- To compile and share ethical and compelling storytelling content across a range of media.
- To co-manage all of QSA’s communications platforms including social media (including community management), email marketing and website.
- To generate and publish regular digital communications and fundraising content (including video, audio and copy), across our owned and shared platforms, and printed materials.
- To pull together content into regular email briefings for QSA’s supporters and donors.
- To provide communications support to the wider QSA team.
- To engage with other QSA teams about website content, being responsible for adding in this content, liaising with our web agency as required.
- To follow a GEO-first approach to QSA’s web development, to promote growth in traffic and engagement.
- To actively drive growth and engagement across QSA’s social media, website and email marketing.
- To work within QSA brand guidelines to provide recognisable and reliable content, while also keeping content fresh and engaging.
- To work with third party suppliers or freelancers as required, eg. for graphic design or other communications assets.
- To undertake event marketing of QSA’s fundraising events.
- To track analytics to evaluate the impact of the content we produce and promote across all our platforms.
- To plan and create content for individual giving campaigns and digital fundraising.
- To maintain an up-to-date awareness of best and emerging practice in non-profit communications, and to share new ideas for growth.
- To work within, and actively promote, the policies and procedures of QSA.
- Any other duties, as appropriate to the role, as agreed by the QSA director.
Person specification
Experience
- Experience of working for or volunteering for a charity, especially if UK-based and community focussed, is highly desirable.
- Experience of communications work, in a paid or voluntary capacity, is highly desirable.
Ability
- Excellent people-facing skills, able to confidently build rapport with people, and sensitively approach difficult topics.
