Volunteer Relationship Executive (x2)

Do you love to recruit, inspire, support and equip volunteers?

Are you an experienced fundraiser, with a passion for inspiring supporters to help people living in extreme poverty fulfil their God-given potential?  

If that's you, then Tearfund's Fundraising Marketing team could be the right place for you! This role is part of a high-performing team working with colleagues in almost 50 countries across the globe to find and share stories of need and hope, to encourage new support and continued giving.

The Volunteer Relationship Executive role is responsible for the recruitment of new volunteers and providing ongoing support for existing volunteers ensuring they are inspired and equipped to represent Tearfund well. Volunteers are involved in speaking at churches, supporting at festivals and events and in community fundraising activities and the postholder should be experienced in these areas in order to provide the best support possible.  Could that be you? 

Do you have the following experience?

• Experience of volunteer management and recruitment
• Experience of delivering fundraising talks
• Community Fundraising experience
• Demonstrable track record in achieving challenging targets and objectives

Do you have the following skills?

• Ability to see through activities from start to finish
• A flexible approach to your work, showing agility to adapt and make changes if required
• Ability to influence and work alongside senior stakeholders
• Strategic thinking, and desire to drive forward new ways of doing things, with a test and learn mentality.

If that's you, then our Fundraising Marketing Team would love to meet you.

Please note that we are recruiting for two Volunteer Relationship Executive roles. While there will be a close working relationship across our volunteer relationship team, these roles will have some distinct areas of specialism: one will specialise on our speakers programme and the other on our events volunteers. If you have a preference please indicate this in your application. 

Both roles are full time (35 hours per week), flexible working patterns may be considered. 

We particularly welcome applications from people with disabilities and those from Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds (in our UK workforce) as these groups are currently under-represented at Tearfund.

This role is eligible for hybrid working and you will be required to work from the Teddington Tearfund office and from your home by agreement with the line manager.

All applicants must be committed to Tearfund's Christian beliefs

The recruitment process will include specific checks related to safeguarding. In addition, personal identification information will be submitted against a Watchlist database to check against criminal convictions as a counter-terror measure.
