Volunteer Coordinator

There has never been a more exciting time to join the HEY Smile Foundation team.  Our work spans across the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE), as well as connecting opportunities with the private and public sector.

We are connected, joining assets to community knowledge, creativity and inspiration. We are helping VCSE organisations of all shapes and sizes be heard and play a part in solutions, not just highlight community problems.

We have grown significantly in the last 12 years but are still agile enough to respond to the community’s needs, not prescribe the same methodology ‘because that’s what has always been done’.

We are sustainable in our own right. Whilst developing others, we have ensured we had one eye on our own platform, securing £3m in assets and generating an average of £800k turnover a year in earned income to be masters of our own destiny and focus on the Wow not Woe in our communities across the Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Covid 19 has provided us with an opportunity to share our way of working further and in the East Riding we are seen as a community lead and the Go to Charity, now more than ever.  We are proud to say we have the strongest charitable board in the region and we have a team of highly skilled and proactive charity leaders.

In response to the commencement of the Covid-19 Vaccination programme, we set up a Meet and Greet Volunteer programme to support the vaccination hubs, initially across the East Riding of Yorkshire.  These volunteers are offering a friendly face and a helping hand for those attending for their vaccinations, either at a centralised hub, or in GP’ practices.  From a small start, have supported almost 30 sites and have over 700 volunteers on our books.

With excellent relationship building qualities and topnotch communication skills backed up by strong administration, the volunteer coordinator will continue to develop Smile’s volunteer programme, working closely with the Programme Manager, Volunteering.
