Volunteering administrator Sheffield, England
Job description
Salary: £22,000 to £24,500 per annum
Hours: 35 hours per week
Location: Sheffield (home and office based)
Contract: Fixed-term contract until 30 June 2024
The role
You’ll play a key role in a fast-paced volunteering team, which supports volunteering across the whole of Breast Cancer Now. You’ll be the first point of contact for volunteering enquiries, ensuring they are handled sensitively and efficiently over the phone and email.
You’ll also provide key administrative support to the volunteering team, assisting with survey design, advertising volunteering vacancies, and administration for training and events.
You will champion good record-keeping and make sure all volunteering data is kept in top shape. You’ll be matching volunteers to opportunities that suit them, as well as using a range of online platforms to help recruit volunteers.
About you
You are enthusiastic, proactive and committed to providing excellent customer service. Detailed and person-focussed, you’ll really want to go the extra mile and can use your initiative to find solutions to enquiries.
As well as being comfortable speaking and writing to a diverse range of people, you’ll have a head for detail. You’ll be as much at home working with databases and digital platforms as you are with communicating with people over the phone and email.
You will be committed to development, wanting to learn and grow as part of a high-performing volunteering team that’s passionate about making volunteering more accessible.
You’ll ideally have some experience of working with or managing volunteers. But most important is your ability to work effectively with a range of people - whether that’s volunteers, colleagues, or supporters looking for a volunteer representative – to give them a great experience.
