For over 40 years, The ClementJames Centre has been offering local people the skills, knowledge, opportunities and support they need to achieve their potential. We have come a long way in that time – from a straightforward homework club to a well-established community support charity, transforming the lives of close to 3,000 people each year.
Our dedicated staff team is essential to the success of everything we do. Together, we work towards creating a fairer society where everyone is empowered to release their potential and live fulfilled lives. Working at The ClementJames will put you at the forefront of making positive social change, helping local children and adults to grow and succeed.
ClementJames programmes and activities are able to have such a considerable impact because of the dedication of our staff team and volunteers. This role will be central in managing the latter. The ClementJames Centre benefits from the support of over 100 volunteers each year, who are involved in all areas of our work. You will ensure that volunteers are suitably trained, assigned and supported at ClementJames. You will also ensure that there is a strong culture of celebrating and recognising the achievements of the volunteers. The role is part of the development team and so you will work closely with ClementJames’ fundraising officers to build relationships with supporters and corporate partners.
You will have excellent written English, extremely efficient organisation skills, excellent interpersonal and communication skills and the aptitude and ability to learn on the job. You will be able to demonstrate meticulous attention to detail, be very well organised and highly efficient. You will also have passion and enthusiasm for the mission of The ClementJames Centre.
If you believe that everyone should have the opportunity to release their potential and live fulfilled lives and you would like to join a dynamic, innovative organisation, then The ClementJames Centre could be the perfect career choice for you.
