We are seeking an enthusiastic individual with a strong background in volunteer management,
ideally in a leadership capacity, to become a vital addition to our team in Northern Ireland
(NI). This represents a brilliant opportunity to join RSPB NI and offer expert-level guidance,
advice, and support to teams throughout Northern Ireland.
What’s the role about?
Volunteering is pivotal for the success of the RSPB; we could not save nature without
volunteers. With our volunteers giving their time and talents regularly, it is so important
that we ensure our large workforce are being well supported so our volunteers are having a
quality volunteering experience and gaining enjoyment and satisfaction from what they do.
We are looking for a motivated person with experience working with volunteers, preferably in a
leadership role, to join our Northern Ireland (NI) team. You’ll ensure the team have the skills
needed to develop and implement innovative and effective volunteering initiatives that are in
line with volunteering good practice and are of the highest standards.
You will work with our active Local Group network, the face and voice of the RSPB in local
communities, providing support and guidance to enable them to continue to deliver quality
activities and experiences within their community.
This role covers the whole of Northern Ireland, so you will be organised and work consistently
to be visible to the teams you support, even if you can’t be everywhere in person.
You will also be a champion for change, looking for ways of doing things better. For the
organisation to grow and ultimately save nature, we must mobilise and develop volunteers across
all areas of the business, it is the role of the Volunteering Development Officer to give the
energy and expertise needed to realise that change.
