** Could you be the welcoming face of our charity?
** Glasgow Disabled Scouts (GDS) gives young people aged 8 to 25 with disabilities and additional support needs across

Glasgow the full Scouting experience: camps, friendships, adventures and independence. We're a charity run entirely by volunteers, from those aged 14 and up right through to our longest-serving leaders, and none of ithappens without them.

We're looking for a warm Volunteer Coordinator who enjoys working with people to join us. The role is all about people: making every new volunteer feel welcomed from their very first enquiry, guiding them through joining,keeping in touch as they settle in, and being a familiar face at our Monday evening sessions.
** What you'll do
** You'll be the first person a new volunteer hears from. You'll respond to enquiries, have the first conversation with each new volunteer, guide people through the PVG and training process, and meet them on their first night. You'll attend volunteer fairs, university and Duke of Edinburgh events to bring new people in,and build relationships with the schools, colleges and organisations that send volunteers our way.

Once peopleare with us, you'll check in, take an interest in how they're getting on, and help make sure they feelpart of the team.
** Who we're looking for
** Someone warm, outgoing and reliable, who enjoys people and is good at keeping things moving. You'll be organised enough to manage a busy pipeline of enquiries and personable enough that a nervous new volunteer of 16 and aleader of ten years both feel at ease with you. Experience in volunteer coordination, recruitment, youth work,education, customer service or another role working closely with people would be useful, and transferable skillsare very welcome.

Experience of youth clubs, community groups or other volunteer-led organisations would be abonus, not a requirement. We can teach the process. How you make people feel is what we're really looking for.
** The role
** 14 hours a week on average, with the hours shaped by what the role needs rather than fixed days. Volunteer recruitment comes in waves, with September and the start of term especially busy, so you'll need to flex upwhen enquiries are flowing and will have more breathing space at quieter times. Being responsive during the week matters, and because all of our sections meet on a Monday evening, being there on Mondays is an essential partof the role.

Around that, we're happy to talk about flexibility that fits with your other commitments.
18-month fixed-term contract with the potential for extension, subject to funding. £14.50 to £17.50 per hour depending on experience (£26,390 to £31,850 full-time equivalent, pro rata to 14 hours, around £10,550 to £12,750 a year). A PVG check will be required.#### Application notes
