Imperial Health Charity Looking for
Deputy Head of Volunteering
at
Paddington, Greater London (On-site) Full Time
At Imperial Health Charity, we believe in the power and potential of volunteers – and we’re looking for passionate people who feel the same way.
As the dedicated charity for one of the country’s largest NHS trusts, we manage a growing community of volunteers across five hospitals in north west London. Over the last five years we have developed a dynamic volunteering programme to help our hospitals while creating a rewarding experience for every volunteer who generously devotes their time to support our cause.
Right now we’re embarking on an exciting new journey as we adapt to changes in the way healthcare is provided across the country. At this crucial moment, we’re looking for talented and focused people to join our volunteering team as Deputy Head of Volunteering.
As one of two deputies to the Head of Volunteering you will be someone who can inspire and enthuse people teams to deliver outstanding outcomes, whilst developing themselves professionally.
You will provide leadership within the department to ensure that our Volunteering Managers have the resources, support and encouragement to lead their hospital site strategies for volunteering so that we achieve our ambitious goals for volunteering involvement in the NHS.
This role is all about coaching people and being a critical friend to empower people to excel in their roles. In this role you will be involved within the department, whilst supporting other internal and external relationship management with an eye on what’s happening within the wider sector.
You will also have charity-wide responsibilities for providing advice around volunteering as well as leading wider people-related areas, including safeguarding.
We’re looking for people who have the passion and commitment to work in an exciting and fast-paced healthcare environment, with the skills to juggle lots of complex tasks and the personal qualities to be great ‘people’ people – the ability to build relationships, influence others to embrace change and cope with the day-to-day challenges of working within the NHS.
