A key part of our strategy focuses on recruiting volunteers of all ages and backgrounds and matching them to appropriate organisations and opportunities.

This exciting and pivotal role raises awareness of the volunteering opportunities in the Scottish Borders, drives the development of individual volunteer capacity, skills and capabilities, and engages with volunteer-involving organisations to ensure that there are opportunities for volunteers. The role also involves encouraging third party organisations, schools, local businesses and employers to promote the benefits of volunteering and encourage corporate volunteering.

Strong communication, networking, project management skills and good understanding of volunteers and volunteering are essential for success in this role.
