The successful applicant will be a skilled communicator with excellent organisational skills, who has experience of recruiting and supporting volunteers, and of developing, implementing and evaluating volunteer programmes.  The ability to gain and maintain volunteers’ confidence is essential, as is a commitment to equality and inclusion. The post holder will normally be based at Care for the Carers’ office in Eastbourne, with some travel across East Sussex, and some remote working available, however, the post is currently entirely home-based due to COVID-19 restrictions.
