Would you like to join a sector leading team to deliver innovative corporate volunteering opportunities that help us do whatever it takes for people living with cancer? If so, this could be the role for you.
About the role
Corporate or employee volunteering is becoming an increasingly significant priority for many businesses and their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies. As a result, many charities work hard to develop impactful volunteering opportunities which help to attract and retain high value partnerships.
Macmillan has one of the most successful and innovative corporate volunteering teams in the sector. However, in order for us to continue doing whatever it takes for people living with cancer, it is essential that we continue to build on this success. We’ll do this by maximising the impact of our existing opportunities, identifying gaps in our portfolio to develop new roles whilst always providing employees of our corporate partners with an unrivalled volunteer experience. And by doing this, we’ll support the development of long term shared value partnerships.
By working closely with our key corporate partners and colleagues from across Macmillan, you will lead on the operational delivery of our existing corporate volunteering opportunities, increasing Macmillan’s skills and capabilities to support people living with cancer. You will also drive volunteer engagement and look for ways to continually develop existing products in line with wider Volunteering and Corporate Partnership strategies whilst ensuring an optimum corporate volunteering journey, accurate data collection and compliance.
About you
With a substantial track record in volunteering or corporate partnerships, you will:
- utilise your skills in volunteer and/or partnership management to deliver an outstanding and seamless experience to all those involved in our volunteering opportunities
- have experience of establishing positive relationships with a wide range of stakeholders and a collaborative working style enabling you to work in an agile way to manage a busy workload
- have the ability to influence and negotiate with colleagues at all levels in order to drive change and maximise our impact
- be an innovative, self-motivated, team player who will continually look for ways to improve and develop our existing volunteering opportunities whilst juggling the needs of different audiences, including partners, people living with cancer and volunteers.
About us
Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions. We strive to build a more diverse organisation, where everyone feels empowered to be their best self to work. That’s why we offer flexibility in our working locations, working hours and benefits so we can support you in your life and your career, and we welcome a conversation about how these options can best support you.
We offer a range of flexible working patterns, such as compressed hours, e.g. 34.5 hours in 4 days instead of 5, flexibility to work earlier or later around our core working hours of 10am-4pm and more options.
We commit to actively developing you and our benefits include private medical insurance, life assurance, pension, generous leave, interest free loans for season tickets and gym memberships and much more.
We welcome applications from everyone who meets the criteria and strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another ethnic minority background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Macmillan. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, along with our internal employee representation body, ‘Our Voice’ and 8 Employee Network groups help us promote fairness and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.
