Empower Volunteers, Elevate Impact

SUNSHINE is a new volunteer-powered start-up charity bursting onto the scene to tackle loneliness with joy, connection, and community spirit across London and beyond. We’re not just building a team — we’re creating an experience. One where every volunteer feels confident, skilled, and inspired to make a lasting difference.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a driven and caring Training Coordinator / Manager to lead the way in equipping our volunteers with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to shine in every role they take on.

As SUNSHINE’s first-ever Training lead, you’ll be responsible for:

• Designing empowering training programmes — tailored to roles like befriending, events, service delivery, and leadership.

• Identifying and supporting volunteer development needs — helping individuals grow personally and professionally.

• Creating induction pathways — ensuring everyone feels welcomed, informed, and ready to contribute.

• Embedding our values into training — reinforcing compassion, team spirit, and optimism.

• Collaborating with other leaders — ensuring training aligns with our goals and reflects the SUNSHINE culture.

This role is about more than teaching skills — it’s about unlocking potential.

• Volunteer Training: Develop uplifting programmes that build confidence and clarity.
• Facilitation & Coaching: Empower volunteers through ongoing mentoring and support.
• Onboarding & Inductions: Create meaningful first steps for new team members.
• Content Design: Build engaging guides, workshops, and learning materials.
• Team Leadership: Inspire collaboration and continual growth across the charity.

Whether you're a seasoned trainer or a natural mentor looking to grow, your enthusiasm and strategic spirit are what matter most.

• A volunteer experience that’s joyful, enriching, and impactful.

• A charity culture where growth and support are central.

• Programmes that change lives through empathy, skill, and connection.
