UCL is London’s Global University. We do things differently here and we take the long view. We are not afraid to take risks. We remain focused on making a major contribution to the long term benefit of humanity. In September 2016 UCL launched ‘It’s All Academic’, our bold new global Philanthropy and Engagement Campaign to raise £600m to support students, research and the transformation of our campus. It will enable us to achieve more than ever before to secure our position as one of the world’s top higher education institutions. From fighting dementia to ensuring generations of students reach their full potential: It's All Academic. UCL’s ideas and discoveries are shaping the future, improving lives and having a massive impact on London and the wider world. There has never been a more exciting time to join our Advancement office. We are a team of exceptionally ambitious, creative and passionate individuals who work together to achieve remarkable things with a global impact, and we would love for you to be part of this exciting journey and our success. This is your chance to play a pivotal role in delivering our Campaign. As Alumni Volunteer Manager, you will be responsible for supporting and developing our alumni volunteer programme with a particular emphasis on enhancing the student experience, employability and recruitment activities. Developing and enhancing a portfolio of engaging volunteering opportunities across UCL, the role will focus on increasing the number of alumni who give their time in support of the Campaign for UCL, a key enabler for the delivery of UCL2034. Managing alumni volunteers from identification and recruitment through to stewardship and recognition, ensuring that the volunteer experience is mutually beneficial and sector-leading.

You will be an experienced relationship manager, with experience of building mutually beneficial relationships. You will have a passion and interest in supporting volunteers as well as for advocating best practice in volunteer management when supporting colleagues to manage their volunteers. Using your excellent interpersonal skills, collaborative approach and ability to organise complex projects and activities, you will champion alumni volunteering across OVPA, Faculties, Vice-Provost Offices and the wider UCL community.
