Do you want a job that changes lives?

Do you have what it takes to help our busy Volunteer Services team recruit, train and support our volunteers? Almost 700 people volunteer for St Columba’s Hospice, over 400 of those at the Hospice itself. We’re looking for a Deputy Volunteer Services Manager to lead on the recruitment of volunteers for the Hospice, to manage our Volunteer Services team, and to help us develop and improve our initial and ongoing training for volunteers. This is an exciting time to join our team, as the impact of the new Hospice strategy is leading to the development of existing and new volunteering roles.

We’re looking for an individual with a strong understanding of volunteering and volunteer management, supporting both volunteers and staff. You’ll have experience of recruiting volunteers, and excellent written, verbal and interpersonal skills, including difficult conversations. You’ll have strong MS Office and database competency. Above all we’re looking for an individual with a strong interest in what makes our volunteers ‘tick’, and how to get the best out of them, for the benefit of the people that we support. Occasional evening or weekend work would be required as part of this role.
