Volunteer and Activities Assistant
What would the Volunteer and Activities Assistant do, day-to-day?
The role with support the existing officers, as well as staff in actively engaging volunteers. They are expected to work closely with the President and the Postgraduate Engagement Coordinator to achieve this. This would probably lead to work outside the office.
Context/background
The Graduate Union is a growing charity in need of additional support, which is looking to create a new Students’ Union with our sister charity, but we are looking for extra support to get us there. Currently there are two full-time officers (one of which is shared with our sister charity CUSU). We have a full-time General Manager and Postgraduate Engagement Coordinator. We also have a number of shared staff with CUSU, such as the Advice Service staff. We also use the reception provided by CUSU. We also have three associate staff members: a finance clerk, an IT manager and a parent-toddler group leader. We are looking for support through a period of planned vacancy in our Vice-President role. Finally we have a growing base of volunteers who need support in running campaigns, events and having more sustainable student engagement in their respective areas.
