We currently have two exciting opportunities to join our team of specialist advisors to the charitable and voluntary sector in Hull.
Hull CVS, both individually and in partnership with other organisations, delivers a package of services to local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations, to aid their start up, effectiveness and longer-term sustainability.
The two posts will join a team of specialist advisors to the VCSE sector, who each has a broad knowledge of the support needs of the sector, but also lead on their own specialist area, which include organisation development/governance, funding, training, volunteering, and communications.
We are currently looking for two individuals to join us in the following specialist areas:
Organisational Development
Volunteering
Having a background in the charity/VCSE sector is helpful but not essential, as you will be provided with training and learning to develop both your specialist and general VCSE knowledge. The postholders will be altruistic by nature; have excellent communication and partnership development skills; and will be able to be responsive and flexible to the needs of different organisations and individuals.
About Us
Hull CVS is a registered charity, established over 40 years ago to support local charities and causes. We are at the forefront of sector development, community empowerment and volunteering initiatives in Hull. Through our subsidiary, Meeting New Horizons, we extend our reach across the wider Yorkshire and Humber region, ensuring that our community projects positively impact more lives.
At our core, we aim to empower local communities by supporting wider Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations; by mobilising the power of volunteering; and by giving people a greater voice in the services they use. We have a clear set of aims and work with a variety of funders and stakeholders across a wide range of issues and needs.
As a Group we have achieved consistent growth and stability, and for several years have invested our own funds into projects that further benefit the groups and communities we exist to serve. We also understand the importance of investing in our employees' growth and are always seeking opportunities to further progress and develop our employees.
When you join our team, you're not just an employee – you become part of a community where everyone is passionate about making a difference. We prioritise creating an environment where our staff not only care for our beneficiaries but also support each other.
What we offer:
Starting salary of £25,000 per annum.
25 days holiday plus public holidays, with an additional 3 days to be taken over Christmas after 1 years’ service.
35 hour full time working hours – offering excellent work life balance.
