In line with Oxfam policy, the starting salary will be at the start of the salary grade, with incremental annual progression.

Location:

This role will be home-based in the North/Scotland.

What we are looking for

Our new Volunteer Support Administrator role will require individuals with outstanding people and customer service skills to provide a positive experience to our new and existing volunteers. You will bring experience in support and administration functions preferably gained in the charity sector and the ability to work in partnership with others to deliver shared objectives.

We offer

The role will give you the opportunity to make a significant difference in our volunteering programme whilst working with a committed and enthusiastic team. The Volunteering team is going through an exciting time with growth and innovation at the heart of its new strategy. You will be the first point of contact for new and existing volunteers to offer them a meaningful experience at Oxfam from sign-up to exit.

In return, we will offer you the training, recognition and guidance required to achieve our team’s objectives in a supportive environment where everyone can thrive. In line with Oxfam’s policy, we expect that starting salaries for new employees would typically be at the start of the grade for this role.

Flexfam

We believe flexible working is key to building the Oxfam of the future, so we’re open to talking through the type of flexible arrangements which might work for you. We think this role would work particularly well as a job share, fully or partially home based.

Oxfam is committed to preventing any type of unwanted behaviour at work including sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, lack of integrity and financial misconduct; and committed to promoting the welfare of children, young people, adults and beneficiaries with whom Oxfam GB engages. Oxfam expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment through our code of conduct. We place a high priority on ensuring that only those who share and demonstrate our values are recruited to work for us.

The post holder will undertake the appropriate level of training and is responsible for ensuring that they understand and work within the safeguarding policies of the organisation.

All offers of employment will be subject to satisfactory references and appropriate screening checks, which can include criminal records and terrorism finance checks. Oxfam GB also participates in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme. In line with this Scheme, we will request information from job applicants’ previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment.
