Volunteer Coordinator

A Volunteer Coordinator is responsible for recruiting, training, and supervising volunteers within organisations such as charities, local authorities, and public services. The role involves matching volunteers to suitable opportunities, organising rotas, providing ongoing support, and ensuring that volunteers feel valued. Volunteer Coordinators also help develop policies, run induction sessions, and may organise volunteer appreciation events. This is a people-focused job that requires excellent communication, organisational, and leadership skills. Most Volunteer Coordinators work office hours, but some roles may require evening or weekend work to support events or meet with volunteers.
