Vibrant Volunteer Coordinator

You will manage volunteers and the relationships with those they work with, including employees, partners, clients and service users. You'll also monitor, evaluate and accredit volunteers.

Responsibilities

As a volunteer coordinator, we would love it if you could:

• Work with the team to generate appropriate volunteering opportunities and role descriptions based on the needs of the organisation
• raise staff awareness of the role and the function of volunteers
• promote volunteering (internally and externally) through recruitment and publicity strategies and campaigns
• recruit and interview volunteers and ensure they are appropriately matched and trained for a position
• carry out pre-volunteering checks, including references and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks where appropriate
• organise rotas and provide inductions and training, as well as debrief interviews for departing volunteers
• ensure there is appropriate support and training for volunteers through regular informal contact and more structured reviews
• monitor, support, motivate and accredit volunteers and their work
• celebrate volunteering by nominating volunteers for awards and organise celebration events
• offer advice and information to volunteers and external organisations through face-to-face, telephone and email contact
• monitor and evaluate activities and be involved with writing reports for funders and trustees
• maintain databases and undertake any other administrative duties

This is absolutely isn't essential but if you have experience in researching and writing volunteer policies and procedures, including risk assessments, that would be a bonus.
