We are hiring a Volunteer Coordinator
This role is perfect for someone who understands volunteering from the inside, whether as a volunteer themselves or through close involvement, and knows what volunteers need to feel confident, valued, and effective. You don’t need formal management experience. What matters most is that you’re a self-starter, a great communicator, and passionate about enabling people to contribute their time and skills to improve local health and care services.
This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in Healthwatch Wakefield’s final year and to support volunteers to make a real difference to local people’s lives. You’ll be trusted to shape the role, bring ideas, and leave a meaningful legacy. We’re more interested in your potential, values, and understanding of volunteering than a lengthy CV.
About the role
As we enter our final year, we’re less concerned with formal titles and more interested in people who bring heart, insight, and commitment. If that sounds like you, we want you to apply.
