Role

Volunteers are central to SWAN’s work. This role supports a network of 70+ volunteers across Scotland who facilitate meet-ups, digital community spaces and wellbeing activities. 

The Volunteer and Community Programmes Manager will ensure volunteers feel welcomed, supported and confident in their roles. You will develop systems and processes to support recruitment, training and ongoing volunteer development, helping SWAN’s volunteer programmes to continue in an inclusive and sustainable way. 

This role involves balancing supportive relationship-building with volunteers and external stakeholders alongside the practical coordination needed to run programmes effectively, including planning, communication, record-keeping and reporting. 

Most work takes place remotely, although occasional travel for meetings, training and conferences, volunteer development events, quality assurance, or programme delivery may be required. 

SWAN offers staff a neuro-inclusive working environment, and takes a proactive, neuro-affirming approach to adjustments, support and flexible working which seeks to remove barriers and enable you to work to the best of your strengths and abilities. 

You can find more information about SWAN on our website and in our Strategy.
