Can you see yourself creating and nurturing a network of informed and engaged volunteers? Imagine being their main go-to for info and guidance on their volunteer journey. Can you connect with these awesome people and help them shine?
As part of a team across South Coast and London you will manage an existing cohort of active volunteers providing dedicated support in their work helping their mentees secure outcomes including personal development, jobs and self-employment. This role is 17.5 hours per week.
Are you excited about providing volunteers with consistently stellar service that inspires them to make a real difference in young people's lives, and are you ready to empower them for incredibly positive outcomes? Picture yourself leading and supporting a group of volunteers. You'll use our CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and your connections with fellow team members to link up with opportunities that support young people and our programmes.
We're all about keeping things in tip-top shape so can you dive into the detail and keep things running smoothly, like accurately tracking, recording, and keeping tabs on volunteer activity? And can you encourage volunteers to do their part by keeping our systems up to scratch, ensuring we're always on the ball with core vetting and training requirements?
As well as the serious stuff, we're big on showing love to our volunteers! Our volunteers are exceptional individuals driven by a deep passion to ensure the success of the young people they mentor. You'll collaborate with volunteers from various backgrounds, each bringing a rich tapestry of skills to support a young person's journey. As part of the role, you will be expected to host some memory making events around the area in our partner offices with volunteers and our young people. You will work closely with colleagues, delivery partners, and external stakeholders to enhance volunteer opportunities and strengthen our volunteer network. Can you help us expand?
At The Trust, we're strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too. We hope you’ll encourage positive action and change while supporting volunteers from all walks of life.
Ready for the challenge? Be prepared for a little bit of everything, you might find yourself wearing different hats and stepping up when needed. Ready to dive into this adventure with us?
