Do you enjoy supporting people and would you like to make a positive impact for nature? We are looking for organised people with excellent communication skills to join our team of Volunteer Coordinators and to help support our sites and operations.

Volunteer Coordinators undertake a wide range of tasks, including:

- Dealing with queries from potential new volunteers who get in touch.
- Being the first point of contact for our existing volunteers and answering general queries.
- Lead on advertising new volunteer roles (on the RSPB and external websites, in the local community)

- Initially, this role will provide support to build and expand our amazing volunteers in the Brighton and Hove Swift Group.

We'll ensure you're provided with an RSPB mobile phone and are set up with access to the RSPB computer network so you can comfortably carry out your role at home.

You'll be trained in everything you need to know beforehand and we'll support you in your role every step of the way.

Beneficial skills for this role are:

- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
- You need to be a great people person, friendly and approachable.
- Excellent telephone manner and written communication skills.
- An ability to lead/inspire others and work as part of a team.
- Creative and forward thinking.

- Excellent record keeper.
- Happy to work from home or office.
- Tact/diplomacy.

This is a rewarding and enjoyable role. You will be part of a small and friendly team of staff and volunteers. This is a chance to gain experience in working with people of all ages and to learn new skills and develop existing ones.

You'd be making a real difference by helping us keep our area priorities well-supported by volunteers, ensuring we are able to protect and enhance our priority species and habitats.

There is room for development within the role, an opportunity to volunteer for additional days or role-share.

You'd be helping us to ensure that volunteers have a rewarding and enjoyable time with us. It's a wonderful opportunity to make a genuine contribution to wildlife conservation.
