Do you possess substantial hands-on experience collaborating with volunteers? Can you apply your understanding of volunteering best practices to enhance the experiences of our volunteers?

If so, you may want to explore opportunities within our newly established Volunteer Engagement Team, which operates across multiple locations in the UK.

We are thrilled to announce openings for Volunteer Engagement Coordinators as part of our three-year sustainability strategy aimed at expanding and empowering our volunteer network to provide services to individuals affected by arthritis.


Our Volunteer Engagement Team is integrated within our People and Culture Directorate, which oversees all our personnel-related services throughout the Charity.

We collaborate to ensure that Versus Arthritis is an exceptional place to work and volunteer, fostering an environment where everyone feels engaged, motivated, supported, valued, and included, enabling them to contribute their best efforts for those living with arthritis.

About the role

As a Volunteer Engagement Coordinator, you will offer best practice guidance at a local level to Versus Arthritis volunteers.

In the upcoming years, you will be instrumental in supporting the growth and diversification of our volunteer base while introducing innovative and sustainable initiatives (including digital solutions) to assist them.


Your focus will be on empowering our volunteers by ensuring they receive a high-quality experience through building relationships and providing the necessary resources for their volunteer roles.

For instance, you will be addressing inquiries, onboarding and supporting new volunteers, conducting workshops, particularly in digital literacy, and promoting networking among volunteers.

About you

If your expertise, skills, and experience encompass the following, we would be eager to hear from you:

- Excellent verbal, written, and presentation abilities.

- Capability to adjust communication styles to suit various audiences.

- Proficiency in assimilating information and facilitating change.

- Talent for quickly establishing positive relationships and fostering interactions among individuals and groups.

- Strong IT skills and the ability to disseminate information effectively.

- Competence in managing competing priorities and adapting to changing requirements.

- A collaborative team player who can also work effectively independently.

*As a hybrid worker, you are expected to spend around 40% of your working hours in our office environments or community settings. We are committed to inclusivity and will consider home-based arrangements for individuals for whom office-based hybrid work may pose challenges, such as those with long-term health conditions or disabilities.

Benefits

Your exceptional benefits include:
- Flexible working hours, environments, and practices to support a healthy work/life balance.

- Health and wellbeing resources, including the Employee Assistance Programme (providing free confidential support 24/7 for mental health, legal, and financial inquiries).

- Simplyhealth cash plan.
- A supportive and inclusive culture, with a variety of employee networks and support groups available.
- Opportunities for learning and personal development.
- Competitive annual leave, with the option to buy/sell up to five days each year.
- Generous pension scheme, with employer contributions of up to 10%.
- Life Assurance plan (4 x salary).

We encourage candidates to submit their applications early, as we reserve the right to close applications ahead of the stated deadline.
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.

We do not wish to receive inquiries from agencies or media sales.

Interview

Interviews are anticipated:
in the week commencing Monday 12 August via Microsoft Teams


As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee you will be offered an interview if you disclose a disability and provide sufficient evidence in your application that you meet the essential criteria for this role.
