Volunteer Manager (Maternity Cover)

Macular disease is the biggest cause of sight loss in the UK, with around 300 people diagnosed every day. The Macular Society is the only charity determined to beat the fear and isolation of macular disease with world class research, and the best advice and support.

To support people affected by macular disease now the Macular Society provides a range of support, information, and services to people affected by macular disease today. Our research programme is focused on finding new treatments and a cure to beat macular disease forever.

We seek an empathetic and proactive Volunteer Manager to join our team. We show we care by creating a strong volunteer network that supports anyone affected by macular disease; to do this, we need someone to manage and further develop a consistent and integrated volunteer management system. You will act as the main contact for all our volunteers across the UK, putting to use your outstanding organisation and communication skills. Using your volunteer experience, you will help us recruit, retain and manage volunteers. Understanding sight loss would be great, but more important is your ability to be understanding, approachable and supportive.

If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you.

In return, we provide a great working culture and offer flexible working options, 26 days of annual leave, supportive family policies, and a 6% pension contribution. This is a one-year contract.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons.
