Volunteers are at the heart of Food Train.

Every day, around 1,000 volunteers help older people across Scotland access nutritious food, practical support and meaningful social connections. Their contribution enables older people to live independently, stay connected to their communities and enjoy a better quality of life.

As we look to the future and deliver our ambitious strategy for growth, we are seeking a National Volunteer Development Manager to lead the next stage of our volunteering journey.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape and strengthen volunteering across a national charity with a 30 year history of supporting older people to eat well, age well and live well.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and practical delivery, someone who can inspire others, build strong relationships and drive positive change.

About you

We are looking for someone with experience of developing and improving volunteering programmes, ideally across multiple locations or services.

You will have experience of volunteer recruitment and engagement, developing training and resources, supporting organisational improvement and working collaboratively with a range of stakeholders.

Most importantly, you will be passionate about the power of volunteering and committed to creating outstanding volunteer experiences.
