Summary
Inspiring and supporting volunteering since 2015, Volunteering Barnet is the Borough’s Volunteer Centre, delivered by Groundwork London. Our aim is to unite volunteers and organisations to strengthen the community we support and promote all aspects of volunteering.
We are part of the award-winning Barnet Together Partnership. A collaboration between Inclusion Barnet, Volunteering Barnet and the Young Barnet Foundation, to promote quality training, volunteering support, and provide vital resources and advice for Barnet’s community organisations. Read the Barnet Together manifesto.
In 2023, Groundwork co-produced the Barnet Volunteer Strategy with the Barnet Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector, Barnet Council and current / prospective volunteers. The strategy shapes the work programme of Volunteering Barnet, with current priorities including:
- Volunteering as a pathway to employment
- Supporting more Sanctuary Seekers into Volunteering
- Working with Barnet VCFSE to establish accessible and flexible volunteering opportunities
- Promotion of Barnet Council Employee Supported Volunteering work programme
Alongside the Strategy, Volunteering Barnet’s core daily activity focuses on inspiring current and prospective volunteers to identify and start new volunteering opportunities in the borough and working with VCFSE organisations to embed quality volunteer management practice into their operations.
To be successful, we are seeking a candidate with excellent knowledge and experience of volunteering best practice and an understanding of both national and local volunteer trends. The postholder should be an experienced project manager, project leader and training facilitator. You will be passionate about volunteering and be able to work at different locations across Barnet at least three days per week. You will have team leadership and line management responsibilities. Delivering an inclusive volunteering programme is important to us, so lived experience of disability would be advantageous.
