  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • A positive, enthusiastic and can-do attitude
  • Strong organisation and time-management skills
  • The confidence to speak to a wide range of people
  • Creativity and the ability to think of new ideas
  • Good IT and administrative skills
  • A genuine interest in supporting a healthcare charity and its volunteers

You don't necessarily need previous experience as a Volunteer Coordinator. If you have the right attitude, personality and potential, we'd love to hear from you.
