Join London's Child Poverty Charity to deliver life changing work to ensure every child in London is well prepared for life. The Childhood Trust works to change the landscape for children living in poverty. Since 2013 The Childhood Trust has raised £50m million through our matched fundraising campaigns that have enabled us to fund the delivery of projects across all London boroughs, engaging an estimated 300,000 children and young people annually. Our advocacy and research reach audiences in the millions to raise awareness of the impact of poverty on children and our volunteering programme transforms children’s lives through direct delivery.

The Childhood Trust’s volunteering programmes are a vital part of our work. Not only do they deliver direct support to children experiencing poverty in London, they help us to engage volunteers in making a real, tangible difference.

As Volunteer Programmes Coordinator you will support the effective delivery of our volunteer programmes. As someone with rigorous attention to detail and outstanding organisational skills, you’ll coordinate the day-to-day administration of our full suite of programmes. Critical to this role is administering robust procedures to ensure the success of each programme and project and delivering high level relationship management, both internally and externally, to a variety of people.

You will join our friendly, hybrid team and be passionate about our mission and vision. You will be someone who thrives in our small charity culture, which is collaborative, innovative and agile as well as having the ability to work autonomously and have an appetite for continuous improvement to ensure programmes and projects run smoothly and are executed to a high standard.There will be opportunities also for growth and development within the role.

Our organisation takes pride in offering key benefits such as flexible working arrangements, 25 days annual leave per year and enhanced maternity provisions. We are also deeply committed to the development and growth of our staff, providing opportunities to enhance skills and achieve career goals. Plus, you’ll be joining a dedicated and passionate team that truly makes a difference.
