📣 VOLUNTARY DIRECTOR OPPORTUNITY – DIRECTOR OF VOLUNTEER SERVICES
Community Medics CIC is growing, and we are looking for someone who wants the opportunity to take real ownership of the volunteer side of our organisation. This is a voluntary, unpaid Director-level role and a genuine opportunity to shape, grow and establish how volunteering works across Community Medics.
This is not simply a role maintaining what already exists. We want someone who can help us build it. As our Director of Volunteer Services, you will have the opportunity to shape our volunteer strategy, grow our volunteer community and establish the structures, leadership and ways of working needed to support that growth. You will lead the development of areas including:
• Volunteer recruitment and growth
• Volunteer engagement and retention
• Training, development and progression
• Volunteer leadership and succession planning
• Volunteer recognition and experience
• Building and supporting our team of Volunteer Leads
• Developing the volunteer function as Community Medics continues to grow
Our volunteers support community first aid, event medical provision, community education, and wider organisational activity. We want to significantly expand what our volunteer community can deliver over the coming years.
The role sits on the Board of Community Medics CIC and gives you the opportunity to genuinely influence the future direction of the organisation. You do not need to come into the role with everything already established. We are particularly interested in someone who enjoys creating things, developing teams, growing volunteer programmes and turning ideas into sustainable delivery.
We are also flexible about what the opportunity looks like. You might be looking for a two-year fixed-term voluntary Director opportunity where you can come in, build something substantial and leave behind a strong and sustainable volunteer structure. Alternatively, you may be looking for a longer-term voluntary Director position and want to grow alongside Community Medics as the organisation develops. Either approach is absolutely welcome.
The role is designed to be flexible around work, family and other commitments, with day-to-day volunteer management delegated through our Volunteer Leads. We are looking for someone who can provide the leadership, direction and energy to help the volunteer function thrive. If you are passionate about volunteering, community organisations, developing people or building teams, we would really like to hear from you.
