Job Description and online application: https://rpgresearch.com/jobs/detail/director-volunteer-services-volunteer-199
We have three positions available for this role. We need to fill the roles at the Assistant (entry-level), Manager (1-2 years experience), and Director levels (3+ years experience).
Assist, or take the lead, managing RPG Research's volunteer engagement strategy as a Volunteer Coordinator. Part-time (1 to 5 hours per week), remotely manage RPG Research's international 200+ volunteers spanning 6 continents. Most volunteers at RPG Research have full-time jobs, school, family, etc., so we are very understanding and flexible about scheduling and variability of availability as life happens week to week.
Responsibilities
1 to 5 hours per week.
Assist existing team member or step up to become manager or director of the department.
Post and manage recruitment process to fill needed volunteer positions
Manage new volunteer applications initial screening and routing to correct interviewing managers or department heads.
Manage routing & tracking of application process, interview scheduling, and follow up on interview results.
Stay on top of "onboarding", and "offboarding" of volunteer staff, sending reminders and pointing them in the right direction to enable their work.
Implement volunteer recruitment strategies, manage and grow the existing volunteer programs and partnerships with schools, communities, media, etc.
Connect with universities to meet their degree requirements encouraging students to meet their intern and volunteer hours by volunteering at RPG Research.
Will train appropriate candidates as needed.
Challenges
200+ volunteers.
Volunteers scattered across 6 continents and many time zones.
We have grown from 10 volunteers in 2018, to nearly 200 in 2021.
Most of our volunteers have full-time jobs, school, family, etc., and we go out of our way to be flexible about scheduling, commitment hours per week/month, "life happening", etc.
RPG Research is 100% volunteer run. Not a single member of staff, including the founders, make any money through RPG Research, we are here to serve.
We have very little financial support, especially compared to other organizations our size, and with our level of impact. We accomplish an amazing amount with very little thanks to our incredible volunteers!
We stress that all of our volunteers must be careful to not overload on commitments or hours, so they are encouraged to remain with the organization year-after-year, rather than the typical volunteer model at other organizations that tends to burn them out. We try to keep all volunteers to around only 4 to 5 hours per week, with a maximum of 10 hours being rare, using a distributed teams work-load model.
Our programs support a wide range of populations, from 2 years old through senior adults, including people with disabilities, brain injuries, and neurodifferences.
Our staff comes from a wide range of populations, cultures, and languages.
Many of our volunteer staff members have a variety of disabilities, brain injuries, or neurodifferences, so compassion, considerate patience, and sometimes repeated follow-up is critically important to keep things running.
Requirements
Strong work ethic (reliability), strong grit (stick to it over the long haul).
Patience and compassionate.
Strong communicator (keep in the loop)
Well organized
Passionate about our Mission, Vision, and Impact.
Willingness to commit to 6 month minimum as assistant volunteer coordinator or 1 year at the manager/director level, and always try to recruit and train a replacement if transitioning away.
Commit to 1 to 5 hours per week (flexible schedule).
Must pass background check
Will train, but prefer someone with 1+ years experience managing volunteers.
