Volunteer Development Officer Jobs
Citizens UK
Citizens UK is a people power alliance of diverse local communities working together for the common good. Our mission is to develop leaders, strengthen civic organisations and make change. Our 550 member communities are deeply rooted in their local areas and connect every day to the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Through the method of community organising we enable people experiencing powerlessness to develop their leadership and come together with the power and strategy to make change.
This leads to hundreds of neighbourhood improvements - from zebra crossings outside primary schools to renovated public toilets in cemeteries. And it leads to some of the biggest campaign impacts in the UK, such as winning over £2 billion of wages through the UK Living Wage campaign, securing a legal cap on the cost of credit to control exploitative lending, and ending the detention of children for immigration purposes. We enable local campaigns to grow into large-scale social change projects such as the Living Wage Foundation, Parents and Communities Together (PACT), Sponsor Refugees, and Refugees for Justice, that form an integral part of our theory of change. The most prominent of these is the rapidly growing Living Wage Foundation with a network of over 14,000 accredited Living Wage Employers across the UK.
Purpose
We’re looking for someone who wants to combine their passion for social change with their commitment to digital communications.

You’ll be joining the team at an exciting time; supporting communities to engage decision makers and win change post-General Election. Our external affairs work is fast-paced but committed to the distinctive ethos of Citizens UK – where local leaders and people experiencing injustice are in the lead. You’ll be a strong communicator with the ability to tell a story in short time frame and have interest in a range of social justice issues including refugee and migrant justice and the real Living Wage.

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. In 2024 we embarked on our new 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
Crisis’ Changing Lives programme empowers people who have experienced homelessness to transform their lives and find their own ways out of homelessness by pursuing their own entrepreneurial, work, and educational ambitions – with dignity and pride.
We’re at an exciting point in the team, having received funding from Lloyds Bank to evolve and grow the programme. We’re committed to furthering our reach and increasing our impact on ending homelessness for individuals.
About the role
As Changing Lives Programme Coordinator, you will be supporting people with lived experience of homelessness to apply for grants which help them fulfil their employment goals. In addition, you will encourage members to access further wraparound support and assist with ongoing evaluation. The role is varied and exciting; you’ll be at the centre of working with and uniting our Crisis members, Skylight teams, and network of enterprise contacts towards creating fair access to opportunities for people with lived experience of homelessness.
Additionally, we’re committed to utilising our funding from Lloyds Bank to grow and innovate the programme. In your role you’ll have the opportunity to utilise your own expertise to bring in new ideas and transform the impact of the programme.
Skills, knowledge, and experience vital to succeeding in this role:
To be successful in this role you will be inspired by delivering opportunities that remove barriers to employment and entrepreneurship, particularly for communities who are traditionally excluded from these opportunities.
You should be an experienced programme coordinator and be confident in supporting people from a broad range of communities and experiences towards their goals. You will be competent in grant or programme delivery at all stages (from application to evaluation), a strong relationship builder, and creative in developing and delivering support. Underpinning this is your drive to address the needs of people with lived experience of homelessness through embedding co-production and supporting programmes that empower participants to achieve their ambitions.
You may have experience in:
-
Programme coordination
-
Employment support or coaching
-
Grant administration
-
Programme administration
-
Co-production
-
Grant compliance and reporting

However, if you feel you have relevant examples to answer the screening questions, we encourage you to apply.
We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve.

Stroke Association. Rebuilding lives after stroke.
When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.
We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.
We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.
We’re working to improve the diversity of our team. Because we know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for those affected by stroke.
We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities.
Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.
In 2019, we developed a bold new corporate strategy so that we can rebuild more lives after stroke and make a bigger difference to people’s lives. To help us deliver our strategy and make a real difference, we are looking to recruit talented people to a number of new roles. If you would like to support stroke survivors to rebuild their lives, we want to hear from you!
