ABOUT POWER TO CONNECT
Power to Connect is dedicated to bridging the digital divide in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Since we launched in April 2020, we have provided digital devices, skills training, and ongoing support to over 4,500 individuals and families experiencing digital exclusion. Our mission is to ensure that every resident, regardless of their background, has access to the connectivity, technology, and digital skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly digital society. We bring a holistic approach to digital inclusion, combining three core activities:

• Device Redistribution: Collecting, refurbishing, and redistributing unused laptops, tablets, and smartphones donated by local businesses and individuals.
• Digital Skills Training: Providing group workshops and one-to-one support sessions covering essential digital skills, online safety and financial literacy.
• Wraparound Support: Offering free data packages, IT maintenance advice, and referral pathways to other community services to ensure ongoing digital confidence and independence.

THE ROLE
We’re looking for a proactive, highly organised, and confident communicator to join our small but ambitious team as Marketing and Volunteer Coordinator. This is a varied and rewarding role - perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about supporting the growth of a community-led charity.

As Marketing and Volunteer Coordinator you’ll play a central role in connecting our internal operations with the wider community. You’ll lead on delivering engaging marketing and communications to a range of stakeholders, including funders, corporate partners, community members, and volunteers. At the same time, you’ll manage and support our growing team of volunteers - helping to build a strong, committed network that powers our work.

It’s an exciting time to join Power to Connect as we expand our programmes and partnerships. You’ll help shape how we tell our story, grow our reach and strengthen our presence across Wandsworth and beyond.
