**About the Role***

The University of Warwick is looking for a talented Volunteers Officer to join their growing Development and Alumni Engagement (DAE) department.

As Volunteers Officer (Students and Recent Graduates), you will grow and diversify our volunteering programme for students and recent graduates. This will include developing and fostering groups shaped around personal and professional development (across sectors, careers and demography), and supporting these through 121 relationships and large-scale engagement.

Warwick is firmly established within the top ten of all UK university rankings and is #67 in the QS Global World Rankings 2024. We’re rightly proud of our diverse alumni and supporter community, who are both our largest stakeholder group, and the most far-reaching expression of our global reputation.

You’ll receive a competitive salary with incremental progression, and access to attractive pension schemes with excellent employer contributions. There’s a range of competitive benefits, plus learning and development opportunities. The generous annual leave entitlement for this role includes 30 days annual leave plus four shut down days and eight statutory holidays. Find out more on our HR pages.

**About You***

This new role would suit motivated and experienced volunteer, donor relations or alumni engagement professionals, who are ready to shape volunteer programmes that channel the energies and passions of our vibrant global community in support of the University’s strategy.

This role will each play a pivotal role within a programme that generates engagement, supports long-term relationships and motivates volunteers, so experience of purposefully-driven engagement on a global scale will be key. You will bring experience in relationship management, programme development, communications and/or events, and skills you’ve grown through roles in alumni/stakeholder engagement, business development, community partnerships, or membership organisations.

You’ll understand how to work with colleagues in our faculties and key departments to grow alumni and supporter networks, and be comfortable liaising with and influencing a range of stakeholders including senior leaders.

You’ll be part of a new Volunteers team, led by our Volunteers Manager and four officers. And you will thrive on demonstrating our team behaviours every day:
MAKING A DIFFERENCE: We are ambitious to make a difference

COLLABORATION: We collaborate to achieve together

SOLUTION FOCUSSED: We are accountable for creating solutions

PASSION FOR LEARNING: We learn from our best performances
