Job Description
Volunteer Coordinator Internship
Bristol
Ref: BISW/VOLC
VOLUNTEERING
6 month Internship
The Big Issue produces a publication that is sold on the streets by people who are homeless or living in temporary accommodation. This provides vendors with the means to earn a living and regain control over their lives and continue their journey away from homelessness towards social & financial inclusion. Our mission is simple: we exist solely to help the homeless to help themselves.
We are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic & motivated volunteer coordinator who will have the amazing opportunity to oversee & manage all elements of the volunteering cycle from recruitment & placement to the retention of volunteers.
As part of a dynamic team, you will be responsible for a wide range of tasks from maintaining the volunteer database to organising rotas & inductions for new volunteers whilst also monitoring & supporting volunteers in their work and development.
To be successful for this fantastic internship, you will need to be able to commit to a minimum of 6 months. You will need to be reliable & highly organised with strong administration skills as well as being a good communicator, computer literate and have a great sense of humour! In return, you will gain valuable experience in this role with The Big Issue; we will also cover your travel & lunch expenses and will provide you with a reference for any future employer. Commitment to the social objectives of The Big Issue is essential.
If you are interested in these fantastic opportunities, please email your CV and covering letter to personnel@bigissue.com, quoting reference BISW/VOLC & state what experience you can bring us. Alternatively please send your application to HR Department, 1-5 Wandsworth Road, London SW8 2LN.
