Volunteering & Community Manager - Truro

Summary

***INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY***
We're looking for a Volunteering & Community Manager to join our property team in Trelissick. You'll support volunteer managers across the property with improving the volunteer experience and increasing support in targeted ways. You'll support our community engagement and partnerships, sometimes with a volunteering focus. Working with property colleagues you'll ensure our volunteering offer grows and develops. Capable of managing complex relationships you'll lead for greater engagement with our communities. 
We're a busy property with nearly 350 volunteers working in every area of our operation, so occasional weekend and Bank Holiday work are required as part of this role. You'll be required to work one weekend per month. 
This is a fixed term contract due to end when the previous employee returns from maternity leave.  At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.
This role is required to work with vulnerable groups including children and any offer of employment or volunteering is subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check. 

What it's like to work here

Trelissick estate is set on its own peninsula, with panoramic views over the Fal estuary. The woodland garden comprises meandering paths, exotic planting, sweeping lawns and herbaceous borders bursting with colour. At the heart of the garden lies a two-acre walled garden, once famed as the ‘fruit garden of Cornwall’. For decades, this former kitchen garden has sat dormant and inaccessible. Now we have an incredibly exciting opportunity to breathe new life back into this space in the coming years, as well as developing and empowering the team to care for a flagship garden.
At Glendurgan, three valleys join into one to create an incredibly unique garden, in which a beautiful and intriguing blend of exotic and native plants thrive. There are impressive plants and natural beauty to be discovered at every turn, including the historic laurel maze planted 200 years ago by the Fox family, the creators of the garden.
Hidden away down a Cornish country lane, Trerice is home to a small but varied garden. From the formal knot garden, inspired by grand Elizabethan ceilings, to the wilderness of the mowhay where wildlife thrives, the garden at Trerice is full of variety. Its sense of tranquillity is enhanced by informal cottage borders, a productive potager garden and a Cornish orchard.  

What you'll be doing

Reporting to the General Manager you'll work in partnership with the property leadership team to strategically plan, implement, evolve, and support the property volunteer managers (Heads of Department) in how they lead for volunteering within their departments. Coaching colleagues to increase their confidence and capability and creating a positive, flexible, and inclusive environment for volunteers whilst increasing the number of volunteers.
Supporting the General Manager to develop an inclusive culture and embed the ‘Everyone Welcome’ value, you'll be a key member of the property leadership team and be collectively responsible for the effective delivery of the property business plan.
