We’re on a mission to help change lives and build healthy, resilient communities in Somerset.
Pivotal to our success in this mission is our talented team of Development Managers, who work proactively to support local organisations and residents, driving quality across the sector and influencing local developments, creating opportunities for the VCFSE to grow and thrive.
You will bring strategic and operational volunteering experience and the ability to lead on the development of new volunteering initiatives, which may include supported volunteering, skill share and youth social action. We want to create an environment where volunteering can flourish in Somerset.
You will need to be flexible, adaptable and creative as well as tenacious and equally comfortable working with grass roots groups as you would be representing Spark and the wider VCFSE at strategic meetings.
Will you help us create a Somerset where anyone can make great things happen for their communities?
