Are you a dynamic, driven leader with a genuine passion for the power of volunteering?
If you’re passionate about helping young people unlock their full potential, we want YOU to join us!
About the role
This role is the perfect opportunity to recruit, motivate and train a dedicated team of volunteers bringing their expertise and energy to life, transforming the lives of thousands of young people.
You’ll work alongside every corner of our team to provide essential volunteering support that’s at the heart of Horizon Youth Zone’s mission.

• Have a sense of fun, plenty of energy but also a calm temperament and the ability to operate at all levels.
• Believe in young people’s potential, be proactive and possess a can-do attitude.
You won’t be afraid to get stuck in leading sessions yourself if needed, and you will support on safeguarding within the organisation.
You will have experience of:
• Volunteer management best practice, including developing and supporting a wide range of volunteering opportunities and an understanding of volunteers’ motivations and the benefits they can bring to an organisation
• Experience of developing and delivering a variety of training to small and large groups
• Experience of managing successful relationships with colleagues, volunteers and external partners, and be confident in providing advice and guidance to others around policy, procedure and good practice
