About the opportunity

We're a growing UK-registered charity making a real difference in our community. As we expand our impact, we need strong people systems to attract, support, and retain talented staff and a large volunteer base.

This Volunteer Talent Manager role is perfect for someone with HR experience who wants to apply their skills to a meaningful cause. You'll help build and maintain fair, inclusive, and effective people practices across our team of our dedicated volunteers.

• Support talent acquisition & onboarding: design welcoming induction processes, create welcome packs, run virtual onboarding sessions for new starters and volunteers
• Maintain people records & compliance: keep accurate, confidential records (volunteer/staff databases, DBS checks where required, training logs) in line with GDPR and charity best practice
• Develop HR policies & procedures: review/update simple policies (volunteer handbook, equality & diversity, safeguarding, expenses, grievance/complaints for volunteers)
• Support retention & engagement: organise appreciation events, send regular thank-yous, run feedback surveys, suggest ways to recognise contributions and reduce turnover
• Advise on people matters: provide guidance to trustees/CEO/managers on volunteer management, basic employment queries (using ACAS/NCVO resources), conflict resolution
• Build a talent pipeline: identify future needs, nurture relationships with potential volunteers/staff, maintain a candidate/volunteer pool
• Monitor & report: track key metrics (recruitment time, volunteer retention rates, diversity stats) and share simple quarterly insights with leadership
• Collaborate with our small team: work closely with the CEO/trustees and any existing volunteer coordinator or ops lead
