Job Description

We are seeking a passionate and organised self-starter with attention to detail and previous experience of volunteer recruitment, engagement and support to carry out this important job-share role.

Our volunteers are essential to the success of the Hospice and this role involves recruiting additional volunteers as well as providing an inclusive and supportive environment for our 260+ existing volunteers.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and organisational skills, an approachable and confident manner when dealing with people at all levels and the ability to motivate others.

You will have previous experience working in a volunteer support role, combined with well-developed IT & database skills.  Excellent organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise and juggle conflicting demands, are essential.

Superb communication skills are a must, as well as a good understanding of volunteering and the difference it can make.

This is a demanding role and requires someone proactive with tenacity and a real interest in people and local communities.  Whilst the role encompasses the entire volunteer workforce, this post will lead on supporting and developing our retail volunteer workforce.
