Fixed Term initial 12 months contract (continuation subject to further funding)
37.5 hours per week (core hours between 8-6 Monday to Friday, although this role will require some evenings and weekend work, in line with the role. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you would like further details).
Eccles, Salford
The purpose of the post is to work with a wide range of partners and volunteers to build active, more connected and resilient communities within the city of Salford. This includes recruiting, training and supporting volunteers and VCSE organisations to engage in civil contingencies and humanitarian responses within the city, and more broadly supporting the development of our volunteering work across multiple services.
Salford CVS delivers a range of projects and services that build resilient communities and encourage local people to be active citizens.
The postholder will primarily work on our Volunteering and Emergency Response activity, including the development and delivery of Salford CVS’s own volunteering programmes. We anticipate that, while it will fluctuate throughout the year, the postholder will spend roughly half their time on Emergency Response related work, and half their time on volunteering related work (although both areas overlap).
Overall, we are looking for someone who:
- Can work at various levels, including operationally on the ground
- Is willing to be flexible and able to work outside office hours when we are called to respond to emergencies
- Enjoys and is good at coordinating and multi-tasking in a sometimes-challenging working environment
- Enjoys proactively developing things, bringing new ideas to the table
- Will enjoy working within a team of dedicated, friendly people who believe in making a difference
- Will engage and build relationships with our volunteers, VCSE organisations and partners to further develop our work
- Is passionate about the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector; in particular, the role it plays in supporting people and communities to become more resilient and active
- Someone who loves the city of Salford and the people who live and work here – a person who wants to make a difference every day
If that sounds like you – then we want to hear from you!
