Old Street, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

Are you passionate about the power of volunteering to protect, promote and enhance our countryside?

Volunteering Development Assistant
Location: National office (London N1) or home based, with regular travel
Salary: £23,692 (£29,616 FTE) for a role based in our National Office in London or £20,335.20 (£25,419 FTE) for a home-based role 4 days a week outside of the London travel to work area. There will be monthly travel to meetings in London.

CPRE’s Volunteering Development Assistant provides excellent customer care to people from all walks of life who volunteer. You’ll work with the network of over 40 county-based charities and with our national CPRE to expand how we campaign for the countryside through volunteering.

This varied role helps to deliver CPRE’s volunteering strategy, to find a way in for everyone to care for the countryside. You’ll be dealing directly with enquiries from volunteers and those supporting them, managing the volunteering inbox and providing our first line response.

This role offers plenty of opportunity to develop - you’ll learn how to use our volunteer management system Assemble, and support others to make the best use of the system. You’ll be given training on our intranet contact management system and help us curate our volunteer training resources. You’ll need to be organised and open to learning about digital tools, from design software like Canva to Teams Planner.

You’ll also have the opportunity to support our successful Volunteer Awards programme, so great written and communication skills will be key to making sure we gather impactful nominations and case studies. Telling volunteer stories is a key part of this role, and your use of written and video case studies will help us celebrate a diversity range of volunteers.

You’ll be familiar with the ways social media can help us promote the impact of volunteering, and you’ll be supporting the team to make sure new colleagues get a great welcome and induction to the CPRE movement. You’ll be adept at collaborative working, and you’ll be supportive of increasing the diversity of people who volunteer for CPRE. You’ll be given 2 paid days a year to pursue your own volunteering as part of this role.

CPRE places high value on equality. We treat everyone with respect and consideration because we know it’s the right thing to do. We also know that diverse teams make much better decisions, are more creative and more stimulating to work in. So, if you join us, you will be able to help us put equality, the environment and diversity at the centre of everything we do. We hope you like the sound of the job and will take the time to apply

Closing date: Midday Thursday 30 January 2025
Interviews: Wednesday 12 February 2025
