Volunteer managers for environmental charity

Join to apply for the Volunteer managers for environmental charity role at East London Waterworks Park

East London Waterworks Park is looking for volunteer managers to develop and manage meaningful and sustainable volunteer experiences within our new biodiverse community‑owned park. The park features natural swimming ponds, forest schools, and community spaces. Your leadership and organisational skills will be instrumental in coordinating the efforts of a diverse volunteer team that includes architects, ecologists, teachers, community researchers, and communications strategists.

By effectively managing and motivating volunteers, you will ensure that their contributions are aligned with the park’s goals, maximise their impact on the community and the environment, and help create a positive and inclusive volunteer culture.

You should have experience in developing and managing sustainable volunteer experiences across a range of roles. Strong organisational and interpersonal skills are essential. We value the ability to think strategically, build community relationships, and foster a community‑led process. Experience in motivating volunteer teams and creating an inclusive environment is highly valued.

As a volunteer manager, you will contribute to our community‑led working group, lead projects in communications and governance, and facilitate the direction of the working group. The Comms Circle meets fortnightly via Google Meet, and you will work collaboratively with team members outside of meetings, completing agreed tasks remotely.
