Membership Communications Volunteer

The Gender and Development Network (GADN) brings together expert NGOs, consultants, academics and individuals committed to working on gender, development and women’s rights issues.

GADN is currently advertising for two Membership Communications Volunteers to support our Secretariat. These roles would be suitable for those with a passion for international development and women’s rights and an interest in communications and membership admin.

Each role is for half a day - one day per fortnight for at least six months (hybrid working, but mostly work from home). Key tasks include processing membership enquiries and compiling engaging and informative content for our weekly membership newsletter.

If you are committed to women’s rights and gender equality, want to develop your skills in communications and membership admin while contributing to work toward gender justice in international development, this could be the volunteer role for you. 

How to Apply

Please review the attached JD and then send a CV and cover letter outlining your relevant experience to our recruitment email with ‘Volunteer Application’ in the subject line.   

When preparing your application, do reflect on how your experiences, abilities and interests align with the skills and experience criteria listed in the job description where you can. Please keep cover letters limited to one page.  

The closing date for applications is 9am, Monday 13 July 2026. Assessments will be held on Thursday 23 July 2026 and interviews held on Monday 27 July 2026.  

Unfortunately, due to limited capacity, we are unable to respond to candidates not shortlisted for interview.   

As we continue working to decolonise our practice and build an anti-racist organisation, we actively welcome applications from Black women and Women of Colour who we recognise are under-represented in the UK international development sector. If you share our core commitments, we would love to hear from you!
