London, United Kingdom Crossness Engines Trust Full time

Job description

Crossness Pumping Station is a unique, world heritage site built in 1865 to help rid London of cholera. Lying abandoned since the 1950s, it has been lovingly restored by a group of enthusiasts and volunteers since 1987. We are moving into the next phase of our development as a museum and need to improve our support to existing volunteers and recruitment of new ones. This role will be fundamental to achieving our strategic goals and future business plan.

**About the role**

The Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for managing and overseeing the recruitment, induction, training and support of volunteers for Crossness Engines Trust.

This role will ensure that volunteers are effectively integrated into the organisation and feel valued, motivated and equipped to contribute to its mission. The Volunteer Coordinator will work closely with Trustees and Visitor Development and Outreach Officer and Education Officer to develop a robust volunteer programme that supports both organisational objectives and the personal growth of the volunteers.

The Volunteer Coordinator will build strong relationships, coordinate scheduling and ensure volunteers are integrated across visitor services, events, heritage maintenance, education and administration.

This is a new role and will allow an experienced volunteer coordinator the opportunity to set up many of the essential parts of the role from scratch. Much of the role will include face-to-face interaction with our volunteers (including occasional weekend working) with some elements that can be performed offsite eg developing plans and procedures, representing the Trust at exhibitions, fairs etc.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Volunteer Recruitment and Induction
- Volunteer Coordination
- Training and Development
- Volunteer Wellbeing and Retention
- Monitoring and Reporting
- Collaboration & Programme Support

**Person Specification**

**Essential**
- Experience managing or coordinating volunteers or community engagement
- Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to engage and support people from all walks of life
- Strong leadership and motivational skills
- Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple tasks with limited time
- Ability to manage complex issues across multiple stakeholders to satisfactory resolutions
- Confident working independently and collaboratively
- Strong commitment to inclusion, diversity, and the values of volunteering.

**Desirable**
- Experience in a museum, heritage or non-profit setting
- Knowledge of safeguarding and volunteer management best practices
- Experience with databases/CRM and/or volunteer management software
- Interest in engineering history, architecture or heritage.
