UK Volunteers Coordinator – Full Time.

Join our award-winning team and our unwavering desire to create transformative play opportunities for disadvantaged children, by becoming our next UK Volunteers Coordinator. This full time position is an exceptional opportunity for an exceptional candidate. You’ll work as part of our dedicated team to harness the contribution of our valued volunteers both in the UK and in Uganda and Kenya.

Day-to-day responsibilities will see you travel across the UK to universities and other higher education settings, presenting to students about Project Play – our longstanding, impactful volunteer projects. You will work closely with educational institutions to build relationships, support volunteers as they fundraise and champion the accomplishments of volunteers throughout the year. The role will enable you to manage both UK and international events and you’ll work collaboratively across our small team to achieve and exceed targets.

Our partners are based across the UK, so you will need a full, clean driving licence and access to a car. There will be an opportunity to travel to Uganda/Kenya for up to three months of the year. If you have charity and specifically student fundraising experience, we would love to hear from you. It’s beneficial to have international volunteering and or travel experience too. However, your skills, personality and passion for fundraising are more important to us at Play Action.
