Corporate Volunteering Officer
2 days ago
Are you a ‘people person’ with a knack for building strong, collaborative relationships? Do you have excellent organisational skills, enabling you to balance lots of competing priorities? Do you want to enable volunteers to have big impact on their communities? Then join Shelter as a Corporate Volunteering Officer and you could soon be playing a vital role in the fight for home.
About the role
Helping people to prepare for and manage financial health shocks is vital to Shelter’s work in preventing homelessness. As part of our efforts to reach vulnerable people earlier, our corporate volunteers are delivering Financial Health Information Sessions in their local communities, signposting people to the housing advice they need.
In this role, you will work closely with our financial corporate partners including First Direct, to engage with their employees and support them into the role of Financial Health Volunteer to increase the number of people volunteering. Focusing on the Leeds area, you will forge relationships with local organisations to identify suitable host locations for the volunteers to deliver with. You will coordinate the sessions with the host locations, matching up volunteers with locations. You will ensure volunteers are motivated, supported to deliver, and feel connected with Shelter’s mission and valued for the part they play. Finally, you will take responsibility for collating feedback from the volunteers and host organisations, making suggestions for improvements and feeding into impact measurement.
About you
We are looking for someone with excellent interpersonal skills, confident and experienced with methods of communication and has strong organisational skills. Our assessment is based on the behaviours you are able to show us, so we welcome you to provide examples of your transferable skills.
Please see the Job Description for a full list of the About You points you’ll need to address in your cover letter.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.
Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.
About the team
In the Volunteering Team we support the mobilisation of volunteers to deliver Shelter’s strategic priorities. We are a collaborative and supportive team sitting in Shelter’s Equity, Inclusion & Culture Directorate. We are passionate about the positive impacts of volunteering for both individuals and our cause. We enable best practice approaches to volunteer involvement; ensuring all our volunteers have a quality volunteering experience.
In Corporate Volunteering we develop and deliver volunteering for our corporate partners, and volunteering plays an integral role in both maintaining and winning partnerships. We work closely with the Corporate Partnerships team, who are responsible for generating income through partnerships with corporate organisations. They are successful in winning and developing long-term, sector-leading partnerships with companies including HSBC UK, B&Q, and Network Rail across England and Scotland. Volunteering is an important part of partnerships, enabling us to increase our people power, bring new skills and experiences into Shelter and to increase understanding and support of our fight against the housing emergency.
About Shelter
Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.
We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.
Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
Safeguarding statement
Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.
Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.
