About us
REMAP is a unique national charity. It brings together two groups of people: volunteers skilled at making things and disabled people who need specialist equipment. Each year, around 3,000 pieces of custom-made equipment help transform the lives of disabled people.
REMAP’s army of ingenious inventors designs and makes equipment for young and old alike and then provides it free of charge. The aim is always to help people achieve quality of life, filling the gap where no suitable equipment is available commercially.
With an exciting new strategy that will continue to place the client at the heart of our work, we seek an experienced charity sector Volunteer Recruitment Officer to help us deliver on our mission and vision.
REMAP is an organisation that encourages its team members to contribute their thoughts and ideas actively and work together to achieve its aims and ambitions. You will be given the space to work autonomously and grow in the role, but with the support of your colleagues and line manager when you need us. You can work to your strengths and share your successes and learning with the broader team, who will, in turn, look to share their experiences and learning.
The Role
The Volunteer Recruitment Officer role is critical to the charity's long-term sustainability. It is pivotal in ensuring our branches have the volunteers and guidance they need to support our clients in the future.
This is an internal and external-facing role, focused on recruiting volunteers and developing initiatives to streamline recruitment and welcoming new volunteers into our network of branches.
We seek an experienced volunteering officer with a strong volunteer recruitment and project delivery background. Experience in working with a team going through a change programme involving volunteers is advantageous. You will thrive in a busy environment, have excellent people skills, and have a positive ‘can do’ attitude.
As a small charity, the role will require balancing practical tasks with project delivery and innovation. Building on the strategy already prepared, you will work closely with our Volunteer Administration Officer and Operations Manager to help REMAP support our branches across the UK.
About You
We want you to bring relevant experience, passion, dedication, creativity, and flair to our work.
To be considered for this role, you will have demonstrable experience in a similar position and be comfortable working with a diverse range of volunteers/people. As a self-starter, you can work at pace and quickly assess and deliver to changing priorities in a busy remote team. You will have excellent interpersonal skills, be able to coordinate multiple tasks/activities and have the flexibility to respond to changing demands.
You will be proactive, enthusiastic, and excited about joining an organisation with ambitious plans to future-proof its services and reach more disabled people. Experience working in a remote environment is highly desirable.

Place of work: Fully remote, with occasional 2/3 nights away for year-round events.
Working Hours: 22 hrs (pattern to be discussed)
Salary: £13,400 - £15,000 (actual salary), dependent on experience
