We’re looking for an experienced, part-time volunteer coordinator to deliver our extensive volunteer programme, featuring our Older People’s Befriending projects, our group assistants, our administrative volunteers and other volunteer opportunities. 

What we do

Time & Talents is a lively, busy community centre in the heart of Rotherhithe. Set in a leafy heritage building and ‘T&T2’, our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, we offer something for everyone.

In addition to the Older Adults programme needs, we need volunteers each week to support our community groups and our administrative needs. Corporations often want to volunteer as teambuilding events or to help with our community offer, and this role plays a lead role as first point of contact for those queries as well.

About us

We are an energetic, experienced, and passionate team of 18, with a strong sense of shared purpose and a lively sense of humour. You’ll have the chance to make a big contribution to a growing, ambitious and innovative organisation which has doubled its reach and impact in recent years. This role is part time, with flexibility for regular evening and occasional weekend working. Time & Talents is wholly committed to inclusion and diversity, and to building a culture and environment where everyone is appreciated for the unique person that they are. We actively encourage applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.

The London Borough of Hackney has the largest expanse of green spaces in inner London. We have 58 parks, gardens and open spaces ranging from the largest concentration of football pitches in Europe at Hackney Marshes, to the beautiful historic setting of Abney, Springfield and Clissold parks.

29 of our parks have been awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award. Based within our Climate, Homes and Economy directorate, our Leisure, Parks and Green Spaces Service ensures that all of Hackney’s parks and green spaces are safe, accessible for all and inviting to use.

As one of the ‘Magnificent 7’ cemeteries in London, it’s the resting place of around 200,000 people in 60,000 graves ranging from elaborate monuments to path-side common grave markers.

Abney Park is much loved by residents and visitors alike, providing a significant combination of built, cultural and natural heritage.

You will understand the importance of parks in an inner city environment and have volunteer programing and management skills, along with a record of delivering fundraising income and achieving targets.
