Group Coordinator Volunteers

This is an opportunity for someone who is passionate about community development and working with communities to use their own assets to make a real difference to improving life in the Multiple Sclerosis community?

Our ideal candidate will have experience of working with volunteers, although this is not essential. More importantly they will be a great communicator with fantastic organisational skills, who will play a key part in looking after our volunteers, helping them to grow and ensuring our volunteering processes run smoothly and efficiently. They will be self-motivated with a naturally collaborative working style; and thrive working in a small, enthusiastic team making a difference to the MS community. Working with the Volunteer Support Team, the Group Coordinator is responsible for coordinating all aspects of volunteering, delegating work and supporting the effective development and delivery of services in the area. You will help to support and retain volunteers to deliver our services – leading on volunteer recruitment, communication, and stewardship of the Coordinating Team with a commitment to equality and inclusion as well as healthy and safe working practices. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. Applicants must be over 18.

A fantastic opportunity to help and make a real difference for people with MS.
