Volunteer CiviCRM Support Advisor - Volunteer
We reduce loneliness for older people in care homes across four regions. Our CiviCRM database is central to everything we do and we urgently need a skilled volunteer to help us keep it running well and build on it. Could that be you?
What difference will you make?
Loneliness among older people is one of the most serious and underrecognised health challenges we face as a society. For the residents we support, many of whom have little or no regular contact with family or friends, a consistent befriending relationship can be transformative. Our volunteers make that possible.
But behind every volunteer visit, every Card of Kindness sent, and every new befriending match made, there is a database making it work. CiviCRM is the engine that keeps our organisation running. It holds our volunteer records, tracks our donor relationships, manages our safeguarding information, powers our online forms, and generates the reports that tell funders our work is making a difference.
When it works well, our small team can focus on what matters most supporting older people and the volunteers who befriend them. When it does not, that capacity is lost.
The volunteer who steps into this role will not just be fixing a database. They will be directly enabling a charity to operate effectively, grow sustainably, and demonstrate its impact at a time when we are expanding into new regions and developing new programmes. Their work will strengthen the foundation on which everything else we do is built.
For a small charity with limited resources, having a skilled, trusted CiviCRM advisor is genuinely significant. It means we can make better decisions, reduce risk, and build a system that serves us well for years to come rather than one we are constantly firefighting.
The difference this volunteer makes will be felt not just by our staff team, but by the older people whose lives we are here to change.
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.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What are we looking for?
The most important thing is solid hands-on experience with CiviCRM. We are a small charity with a functioning system and we need someone who can hit the ground running, diagnose issues confidently, and offer practical guidance without needing extensive briefing on the basics.
Beyond technical knowledge, we are looking for someone who understands the charity or voluntary sector context. Our team is small, our resources are limited, and our priorities are driven by mission rather than budget.
Specifically we are hoping for
Experience configuring and administering CiviCRM, including forms, workflows, reporting, and contact management. Familiarity with volunteer management or donor relationship modules would be particularly valuable. The ability to communicate clearly with a non-technical team, translating what can be complex system issues into plain language that our staff can understand and act on. A patient, methodical approach and a genuine commitment to following through. Reliability matters enormously to us. An interest in documenting their work as they go, so that the knowledge they bring is captured and does not leave with them.
We do not expect perfection and we do not need someone who knows everything. We do need someone who is honest about what they know, communicates well, and genuinely wants to help a small charity use its systems more effectively.
If you have ever supported a nonprofit with their CRM and found it rewarding, this role will feel very familiar and we think you will enjoy it
Remote

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
CiviCRM is at the heart of how we operate. We use it to manage our volunteers, donor relationships, safeguarding records, regional reporting, and online forms. It is not a nice-to-have; it is operationally critical to our work and to the people we serve.
We are looking for a knowledgeable, reliable volunteer to provide ongoing CiviCRM support to our small staff team. This is not a full rebuild. We have a functioning system that needs consistent, expert guidance to keep it running well and grow with us.
You would be making a direct difference. Every improvement to our database helps us reach more isolated older people, support more volunteers, and demonstrate our impact to funders who make our work possible.
Key tasks will include reviewing and fixing forms and workflows, improving volunteer and donor reporting, reducing duplicate contacts and strengthening data quality, advising on best practice for a small charity context, supporting integrations or automations that could save the team time, and helping us document our setup so it is sustainable and well understood going forward.
You would work directly with our CEO. The team is warm, committed, and genuinely appreciative of skilled support. We are not a technically demanding organisation; we simply need someone who knows CiviCRM well and wants to put that knowledge to good use.
We are looking for around two to four hours per month on a fully remote, flexible basis. We will fit around you.
If you have ever wanted to use your technical skills to tackle one of the most pressing social challenges of our time, loneliness among older people, this is a meaningful and well-supported place to do it.
