Volunteering Manager (WITH EXPERIENCE) - (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

Become a Volunteering Manager at SUNSHINE (Volunteer Role)

Support, welcome, and empower the volunteers who bring joy and connection to communities across London.

Loneliness is one of the quietest crises of our time — but at SUNSHINE, we believe in rewriting that story. We are a new loneliness and wellbeing charity with a bold mission: to bring people together, spark joy, nurture belonging, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.

Our charity application is submitted. Our Trustees are in place. Our first pilot programmes are ready to launch. Now we are looking for someone warm, organised, and people-focused to help us support the volunteers at the heart of SUNSHINE.

This is not just a volunteer role. This is a chance to shape the everyday experience of the people who make our mission possible.

Could you be our Volunteering Manager?

We’re searching for someone who loves working with people — someone who knows that volunteers thrive when they feel welcomed, supported, and appreciated.

You might be perfect for this if you bring:

• Warmth, empathy, and a natural ability to make people feel at ease

• Good organisation and communication skills

• A passion for community, wellbeing, and social impact

• A collaborative spirit and a willingness to get stuck in

• Energy, initiative, and a desire to help build something meaningful

As a Volunteering Manager, you’ll work closely with our Head of Volunteering & Training and our Founder & CEO to support volunteers across our programmes and help them feel confident, valued, and ready to shine.

What you’ll help us build

• A warm, welcoming volunteer experience from first contact to active involvement.

• Clear communication and support, ensuring volunteers always know where they’re needed and feel part of the team.

• Smooth volunteer coordination, leading on volunteer recruitment, selection, inductions and helping match people to roles that suit their strengths.

• A culture of appreciation, where volunteers feel recognised and celebrated.

• A joyful, people-powered movement that brings SUNSHINE into communities across London.

Your care and coordination will help volunteers feel confident, connected, and ready to make a real difference.

Why SUNSHINE?

Because we believe in:

• Joy as a form of care

• Community as a source of strength

• Connection as a human right

• People as the heart of everything we do

If you’re someone who leads with kindness, loves supporting others, and wants to help volunteers shine, we would love to meet you.

Ready to help us bring more SUNSHINE into the world?

Let’s build something beautiful together — one volunteer, one moment, one community at a time.
