Single Homeless Project has a new opportunity for a Volunteer Coordinator to join our team based in Islington. This is a full-time, permanent position, with a competitive salary starting at GBP28,953.79, rising to GBP31,101.42 per annum.

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life. We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change.

We support people in crisis and help them take final steps towards independence and employment, impacting 10,000 lives annually across London boroughs.

About the Volunteer Coordinator role:

At Single Homeless Project (SHP), this role offers more than typical responsibilities; it's a chance to shape impactful experiences that connect people, build partnerships, and support life-changing services across London. You will join a dynamic Fundraising team where ideas are valued and growth is encouraged. Working with the Corporate Partnerships Lead, your goal will be to design and implement inspiring volunteering opportunities with businesses and community groups that provide practical help, donations, and energy to our programs.

This role combines creativity, coordination, and relationship-building. You might plan an engaging volunteering event in a hostel one day, and develop a new collaboration with a local company the next, working closely with teams across SHP to ensure each opportunity adds value. We aim to create meaningful experiences that motivate support for our cause. This position is ideal for someone organized, confident, and eager to make an impact.

About you:

• A strong project manager capable of managing multiple priorities.

Our benefits include:

• A salary increase after a successful six-month probation.
• A 37.5-hour workweek with flexible hours (core hours 10am-4pm).
• 25 days annual leave, increasing to 30 days plus Bank Holidays.
• A contributory pension scheme with a 5% employer contribution.
• Staff Health Cash Plan and discounts scheme.
• Tailored training programs to develop relevant skills and knowledge.
