Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Our system keeps your personal information hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
At EMERGE 3Rs, our volunteers are the heart and soul of our charity. They fulfil many varied roles and without them EMERGE’s activities, including Touch Wood and FareShare Greater Manchester, would have far less social and environmental impact.
Our Give & Gain employability programme is aimed at enabling people to develop the skills, confidence, and aspirations needed for job success. We support people from all backgrounds who face barriers to employment and whose skills often go unused or undiscovered.
Working with the Volunteering team and other key staff, this role assists in promoting the benefits and opportunities of the Give & Gain Programme at EMERGE. You will help us to recruit additional volunteers from the local community and beyond, by identifying and connecting with new networks and operational partners. You’ll be a strong communicator, happy to jump on the phone or take the lead at in-person recruitment events. You’ll be an experienced administrator with good data management skills to ensure we can accurately report to funders on our outreach and track the volunteers who participate in the programme. An understanding of handling confidential data, meeting targets and deadlines, and experience in recruitment are key skills for this role.
Once you've applied via Charity Jobs, we will contact you separately with an application pack which includes an application form.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
