Overview
Barnardo's have a great opportunity for a friendly, organised, and enthusiastic Volunteer Co‑ordinator to join the team at Rugby Children and Family Centres and help make a real difference in the community.
This is a permanent, part‑time position (18.5 hours per week), typically worked across three days between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday. There may also be occasional opportunities to work additional hours on an ‘as and when’ basis.
As Volunteer Co‑ordinator, you’ll also have the opportunity to get out into the community—attending local events, promoting our services, and encouraging others to get involved. You'll work closely with the Early Years and Children's Lead, supporting the Family Voice forum and helping ensure families' voices are heard. As this role involves traveling across the local area, access to your own transport will be important.
You’ll be based at either Boughton Leigh or Claremont Children and Family Centre, with some flexibility to work from home when appropriate.
Requirements
* Knowledge and understanding of good practice when working with volunteers
* Good organisational skills
* Experience of leading a team and line‑management responsibilities for volunteers
* Working knowledge/experience of word processing, spreadsheets, databases and other commonly used software. Experience of using virtual platforms to facilitate virtual meetings/training is also desirable.
* An excellent understanding of child protection and safeguarding—particularly with a view to vetting new volunteers.
* Excellent communication skills especially with external agencies—delivering talks and presentations to promote volunteering opportunities.
If you’re passionate about supporting families and enjoy working with people, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a service that truly makes a difference in the community.
