Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. The King’s Trust couldn’t function as well without the support of thousands of volunteers across the UK, who are able to offer a vital network to young people facing significant barriers to jobs, education or training.

About the Role

The Wales Volunteering Team is looking for an Operational Volunteer.

As an Operational Volunteer, you will play a vital behind-the-scenes role in ensuring our volunteering programme runs efficiently and effectively. You will support essential administrative processes, including linking volunteers to sessions, adding monthly reports to our CRM system Frontline, and maintaining accurate records that underpin our programmes and partnerships.

This role is ideally suited to someone based in Cardiff who can attend The King's Trust Office, supporting the team one or two days a week between Tuesday and Thursday. Your contribution will help ensure volunteers are matched smoothly to opportunities and that our systems and processes operate seamlessly.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
