We have an exciting opportunity for a pro-active individual who enjoys working with a range of partners, including students, university staff and charity organisations, to coordinate volunteer and fundraising projects. 

About the role

You will join a busy team to:

• Support our student led groups to ensure successful delivery of a variety of fundraising events
• Provide general fundraising support, including monitoring of accounts
• Network with University and charity partners to embed student volunteer projects
• Promote the area to students, staff and the local community

You will be responsible for working with our student-led community volunteer groups (including RAG, our student-led fundraising group) to support with the development of volunteer projects, as well as with SU clubs and societies so as to support them with a range of fundraising events. You will also be required to source a range of volunteer opportunities and provide support with volunteer and fundraising good practice.

About you

We are looking for someone with an understanding of fundraising and event management, experience in networking with a range of partners, and mentoring volunteers in leading projects. You will also be required to market and promote student volunteering within the community.
