Do you have proven experience of leading the development of volunteering programmes plus an excellent understanding of what makes a quality volunteer journey? Then join Shelter as Corporate Volunteering Manager and you could soon be playing a pivotal role at the heart of our Volunteering team.

About the role

This is an exciting role within the Volunteering Team. You'll have responsibility for designing and piloting Shelter's financial resilience volunteer programme in Leeds as well as supporting our nationwide volunteering programme. We'll rely on you to use best practice volunteer management to design and pilot volunteering journeys from attraction, recruitment and training all the way through to ongoing support and exit. You'll also be leading on evaluating the pilot and adapting our approaches based on learnings. The role involves collaborating with key stakeholders not only across Shelter but with our financial corporate partners to implement a volunteer programme that equips our volunteers to deliver their roles independently, whilst also having the biggest impact. Monitoring the contribution of volunteering activity, you'll ensure our volunteers are recognised, celebrated, and feel valued for the part they play.

You will work closely with colleagues throughout our Volunteering Team to implement Shelter's volunteering strategy and contribute to a consistent and quality experience for our Volunteer's by developing new resources and processes that we can implement on a national scale. Working with the Corporate Volunteering Administrator, you'll help utilise the volunteer database and report on data to evidence impact. And where relevant, you'll seek to build co-production into ways of working so that people with lived experience of homelessness and bad housing are at the heart of what we do.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

About you

With experience of leading the successful development of volunteering projects and solid volunteer management experience, you will be passionate about volunteering, with an excellent understanding of what makes a quality volunteer experience. You will have demonstrable experience of applying best practice principles to volunteering, to succeed, you'll need experience of using innovative approaches to planning new volunteering activities and the processes that support them.

You'll be capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously, including identifying conflicting demands and establishing clear priorities to meet agreed objectives. Your great communication skills include an ability to influence and negotiate with a variety of stakeholders at all levels. What's more, you'll be confident creating and delivering high-quality presentations both online and in-person. You'll be experienced in managing the specific approaches needed when involving corporate volunteers as opposed to non-corporate volunteers.

About the team

Part of our Equity, Inclusion & Culture Directorate, the Volunteering team is passionate about the positive impacts of volunteering for both individuals and organisations. Collaborative and supportive, we believe that volunteers are a vital part of our growing movement for change. We support the mobilisation of volunteers to deliver Shelter's strategic priorities and provide the infrastructure and insight that enables that mobilisation.

We're a fast-moving team, working to support corporate volunteering operations and develop innovative ways to involve corporate volunteers that allows us to tap into their skills, expertise and time.

Corporate Volunteering is key to helping us win and maintain high value partnerships. We have successfully developed and extended long-term, sector-leading partnerships with companies including HSBC UK, B&Q, M&S and Network Rail across England and Scotland. These partnerships are an essential part of Shelter's income and we work closely with the Corporate Partnerships Team to do this.
