Become a valued member of our team!
The Children’s Book Project is a grassroots charity, powered by volunteers at every stage of what we do. At our Book Sorting Hub at Seagulls LS11 9UD we would love you to join us as a Volunteer Coordinator, helping to oversee our regular book sorting events which take place during term time.
We are a very friendly bunch and you will be working as part of a small team working with our corporate groups. We try to give each group of volunteers the fullest insight into our work and so during the course of their time with us they will quality control, organise, sort and box books for delivery to schools ready to gift to children. Your role will be to lead them in these tasks to help them understand the value of their contribution and to help the day run smoothly.
The role
On any typical day with us this role might include:
Helping to set up for the day
Instructing small teams of volunteers how to check, sort or box books
Organising aspects of the day, for example having oversight of
donation packing requirements and ensuring these are met
Telling volunteers about our work and ways in which they can help
Who are we looking for?
Absolutely anyone can enjoy this role with us! You might have an interest in our aims, in children's books or in volunteering within your Local community. We are looking for people that enjoy communicating with others, working as part of a team and helping to make a tangible difference to the lives of children and young people throughout Leeds. The role can involve standing for periods of time so you should be mobile. You should have at least basic conversational English.
What we offer you
The opportunity to work as a fully supported, valued member of our team. Training, ongoing support and great communication.
Anticipated commitment
Our shifts are 10.30 - 3.30pm, but we offer flexible commitments. Semi regular attendance helps us to plan but you can pick dates that work for you.
