ROLE: VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR
LOCATION: HYBRID / LONDON
THE MISSION
URBAN YOUTH is only as strong as its Squad. We are a collective of industry professionals, mentors, and rebels who give their time to bridge the gap. We need a Volunteer Coordinator who can find the right people, get them "vetted and ready," and keep the energy high.
You aren't just managing a database; you’re the gatekeeper of our culture and the heartbeat of the squad.
THE GIG
-
The Recruitment: Scouting for "Creative Rebels" and "Mission Specialists" who fit the B&W ethos.
-
The Onboarding: Taking volunteers from "interested" to "active"—handling DBS checks and inductions with zero lag.
-
The Vibe Check: Ensuring our volunteers feel valued, connected, and clear on their mission for every "drop."
-
The Rota: Managing the "4-hours-a-month" commitments to ensure our signature events are always fully staffed.
ABOUT YOU
-
A People Person (with an Edge): You can spot talent and "culture fit" a mile off. You know who’s doing it for the "gram" and who’s doing it for the youth.
-
High Efficiency: You hate "bureaucratic lag." You move volunteers through the pipeline fast so we don't lose their momentum.
-
The Communicator: You’re a pro on WhatsApp, Slack, or email. You keep the Squad informed without spamming them.
-
London Connected: You know where to find the city’s most talented professionals who are looking for a way to give back.
THE COMMITMENT
Flexible and task-based. We need a push during the Launch Phase to build the initial Squad, followed by roughly 8 hours a month to manage the flow of new recruits and event rotas.
THE PERKS
-
Community Power: You’ll be at the centre of a network of London’s most exciting creative and professional mentors.
-
Social Impact: You are the person who connects the mentor to the young person. Without you, the scaffolding doesn't stand.
-
Movement Building: Help us create a new gold standard for how volunteers are treated in the urban youth sector.
