Volunteer & Business Development Manager

Central London Travel to Prisons Full-Time

Some jobs pay the bills.

Some jobs actually change lives.

This is one of those roles.

Were supporting a fast-growing charity that helps prison leavers rebuild their future through real opportunities. Real training. Real employment. Real support systems.

Theyre now looking for someone exceptional to build and lead a volunteer programme that genuinely makes an impact.

Not maintain it.

Not manage it.

Build it.

This is an opportunity to create something meaningful from the ground up. A volunteer network that gives people leaving prison a proper second chance and surrounds them with support that actually works.

Youll take ownership of a growing 200 volunteer community and shape the entire journey from recruitment and onboarding through to engagement events partnerships and long-term growth.

If youre the kind of person who sees gaps and instinctively starts building solutions keep reading.
