Head of Volunteering and Communities

This is an exciting opportunity to lead a group of services at the heart of what we do. As Head of Volunteering and Communities, you will line manage five service managers and oversee:

• Volunteering for Health (VfH);
• VCSE Sector Support, including volunteer brokerage through our Get Involved platform;
• Empowering Communities;

You will lead our approach to volunteering across the organisation, make sure our services are safe, high quality and meet the requirements of commissioners and funders, and build strong relationships with NHS partners, funders and VCSE organisations. You will also act as our Caldicott Guardian and play a key part in delivering our new three-year strategy.
