- Developing and maintaining strong relationships with schools, employers, and volunteers.
- Listening and adapting to the needs of young people, ensuring our programme creates real value for them and the stakeholders we work with.
You’ll be part of a flexible, entrepreneurial, and collaborative team that works remotely across Wales but comes together for events, volunteer training, school meetings, and team meet-ups. We set high expectations for ourselves and each other, value individual contributions, and celebrate shared success.
We’re seeking someone who is:

At Working Options, we believe in:
- Empowering volunteers to deliver high-quality talks and workshops.
- Providing a first-class service for schools that trust us with their students.

The Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for managing and overseeing the recruitment, induction, training and support of volunteers for Crossness Engines Trust.
This role will ensure that volunteers are effectively integrated into the organisation and feel valued, motivated and equipped to contribute to its mission. The Volunteer Coordinator will work closely with Trustees and Visitor Development and Outreach Officer and Education Officer to develop a robust volunteer programme that supports both organisational objectives and the personal growth of the volunteers.
The Volunteer Coordinator will build strong relationships, coordinate scheduling and ensure volunteers are integrated across visitor services, events, heritage maintenance, education and administration.
This is a new role and will allow an experienced volunteer coordinator the opportunity to set up many of the essential parts of the role from scratch. Much of the role will include face-to-face interaction with our volunteers (including occasional weekend working) with some elements that can be performed offsite eg developing plans and procedures, representing the Trust at exhibitions, fairs etc.
