Volunteer Development Officer

This role is part of our Capacity Building Team and plays a key role in strengthening the volunteering infrastructure across Bury. By supporting both individuals and organisations, you will increase participation, improve quality of volunteer programmes, and ensure volunteering contributes to a stronger, more sustainable VCSE sector.

As a borough-wide role, every day brings something different. You might be working one-to-one with an individual taking their first steps into volunteering, working alongside a community group providing tailored advice and guidance, delivering an inspiring training session, or helping our networks and forums connect and collaborate. You’ll also represent the sector at meetings and events, giving VCSE organisations a strong and trusted voice in local conversations. It’s a varied, people-focused role where your support will make a tangible difference to community organisations across Bury.
