Job description

About Us

Volunteer Centre Tower Hamlets (VCTH) is a small charity, established in 2008. Our mission is to increase the quality, quantity and impact of volunteering in Tower Hamlets. We work with one of the youngest, most diverse populations in the country. We broker residents into inspiring volunteer roles. We train and advise charitable organisations on running inclusive, high quality volunteering programmes, and we advertise their volunteer roles.


Do you share our passion for volunteering and believe that it can transform lives and build fairer, more compassionate communities? If so, you could be just who we are looking for to join our supportive and impactful team.


As our Volunteering Advisor, you will work across two programmes, both of which support people from Global Majority communities into volunteering.

You will help volunteers gain the skills, experience and confidence that they need to increase their employability, and you will lead on delivering our Minoritised Ethnic Trustees (METs) programme, recruiting, training and supporting local residents to become charity trustees.


Key responsibilities of the role include:

  • promoting volunteering widely; running stalls at community events, giving targeted presentations, organising borough-wide Volunteer Fairs, and working with referral agencies
- developing trustee training materials and facilitating engaging, interactive sessions, then matching trainees to trustee positions
- enrolling volunteers, motivating them to overcome barriers, helping them to secure and sustain volunteering placements, and tracking their progress
- working with hundreds of local Volunteer Involving Organisations to develop and advertise inspiring volunteer roles that meet a wide range of needs, abilities and interests
- using your analytical and proficient IT skills to produce reports and help review services.

We are currently office-free. This hybrid role is home-based, but with a requirement to undertake regular work at community venues around Tower Hamlets.

We are open to discussing how the 21 hours are worked across the working week.

Benefits include:

  • 5% employer pension contribution
  • Full Time Equivalent 33 days annual leave, inclusive of bank holidays, rising with length of service
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Training for continued professional development
  • Time Off In Lieu
**Interviews will take place the week commencing 15 April 2024.
