Wheels for Wellbeing – Removing Barriers to Cycling

Wheels for Wellbeing is an organisation focused on cycling and disability, run by individuals with disabilities. Founded on the idea that cycling can greatly enhance health, transportation, and social inclusion, the organisation advocates for mobility justice and equity. For the past eighteen years, our charity has aimed to transform the landscape of active travel by eliminating obstacles that prevent disabled individuals from cycling.

In addition to hosting cycling sessions for disabled participants at three locations in South London, Wheels for Wellbeing is also working to improve cycling infrastructure. The team is actively involved in reshaping cycling design standards not just in London, but throughout the UK and in cities worldwide.

As our expertise gained recognition, we expanded our offerings to include training and consultancy services. This aspect of our work is on the rise, and one of our strategic goals is to significantly develop it further under the banner of Wheels for Learning, alongside our other two initiatives.

We have a diverse range of funding sources, including grants from Trusts and Foundations, income we generate ourselves, and contributions from individuals and corporations.

Effectively managing our fundraising efforts is essential for our success in raising funds and providing transparent reports – the Volunteer Salesforce Developer position will play a vital role in supporting these initiatives.

 Location:

Can be performed fully remotely, but you are welcome to visit and work with the Team from our office in Brixton, London.

Commitment:

You will be involved in the implementation and development of our NPSP platform in collaboration with our Central Operations Manager, who possesses some experience in Salesforce administration and will oversee the SF Project. As we have not commenced any work on the platform, the individual will engage with the initial setup and guide it through to completion.

We seek an individual who can commit their time to this project from inception to completion. Therefore, we kindly request that only those with sufficient availability to see the project through to its conclusion apply, as we prefer not to change developers during the implementation phase.

Additionally, it is crucial that the selected candidate is able to dedicate time to provide the team with brief training sessions following deployment. This will ensure that all team members comprehend the platform's functionality and are able to accurately input the necessary data.

Our objective is to utilise the platform for fundraising initiatives and marketing campaigns, with fundraising management being our primary focus. However, there is potential for the platform to also facilitate volunteer management, a decision that will be made at a later time. Consequently, it is highly beneficial for the individual to possess knowledge of the fundraising framework of charitable organisations; nonetheless, we are prepared to provide training in this area if needed.

This is a great chance for anyone eager to gain experience in leading SF projects, enhance their CV, or simply use their skills to assist charities and contribute to our mission of improving lives.

Your support will be incredibly valuable to us, significantly enhancing our system and bolstering our efforts as a small charity, and you will be embraced as a vital member of our team.

Period:

The estimated time commitment is between 4 to 5 hours per week; however, we are willing to accommodate your schedule to find mutually agreeable hours. We kindly request that you submit your application only if you can commit to a minimum of 4 hours of work each week and remain engaged until the implementation and training phases are completed. Additionally, we regret to inform you that we cannot accept applications from individuals who do not possess at least 2 years of experience with Salesforce NPSP.

Given the nature of the sensitive data we handle, we will only consider applications from qualified Salesforce Developers who can provide two professional references from prior work involving Salesforce.
