Are you looking for something to fill up some spare time whilst being part of a team of volunteers dedicated to helping animals in need?
If so, then this could be the role for you!
As a Volunteer Coordinator, you would be the central point of contact for current and potential volunteers and play a vital role in their recruitment and placement. Alongside fellow coordinators, you would help manage and motivate the team of volunteers and ensure that they were placed in the best volunteer role available so that we can help as many animals as possible.
This role is mainly remote, but we are looking for someone local to our branch cover area (Macclesfield, South East Cheshire and Buxton) to potentially attend branch events or meetings.
