- Location:Chester
- Closing Date:5 March 2025
- Skills needed:Keen reader with interests in building a reading community
- Commitment :Flexible (at least 3-4 hours every two weeks)
What we're looking for
We're looking for a creative, organized and reading enthusiast across Chester to be a community book scheme volunteer coordinator. Around 90 per cent of our income comes from our supporters and we couldn't continue doing what we do without them. That means, our community book scheme coordinator volunteer plays an important part in rallying people together to raise vital funds which help to protect children and prevent abuse.
What you'll do
You'll volunteer without regular time commitments, few hours every one-two week. Engage with the public, organizations, and local communities to promote a positive image of the NSPCC and help source books for our NSPCC bookshelf. Additionally, manage the collection tin by emptying it and banking the money.
You'll be a valued part of the North-West Community Fundraising Team, raising awareness and funds.
We appreciate that work, family and friends come first and, with that in mind, this role offers flexibility to fit in with your lifestyle.
What you'll get
We'll support you with advice, skills and tools to help you maintain the bookshelf and spread the word of the NSPCC. You'll learn more about how you're helping to protect children across the UK, and you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills and inspire others to support us.
Who's right for the role?
While we think this role is suitable for a whole range of people, we are particularly looking for those with the following qualities and experiences.
- Passionate about helping young people and children
- Keen reader with interests in building a reading community
- Enthusiastic and personable
- Strong organisational skills
- Able to think on your feet
- You work well within a team

Safer Recruitment
As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.
Trauma Informed
At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
