Research and Tracking VolunteerVolunteer Centre Greenwich
Type of Activity
Administration, Community Work, Marketing, PR and MediaWhen Required :
Mon-Fri day
Description
Volunteer Centre Greenwich is here to help people into volunteering. We do this by
providing people with details of local volunteering opportunities and supporting them into
those roles.
To help us do this, and to make sure we keep getting better at what we do, we ask volunteers what they think and what they get form volunteering. Volunteer Centre Greenwich is now embarking on an exciting project to collect more information from the volunteers it supports. To do this, we need Research and Tracking Volunteers.
You will be responsible for the ongoing tracking of the many volunteers that use our service, up to a year following their placement. You will distribute and collect research surveys, following up on any missing information, and ensure they are input into the tracking database correctly. You will also be shown how to analyse the data and produce reports.
This opportunity would be ideal for someone interested in getting experience in research,
administration or managing information. Depending on skills and experience and following training, there may be the opportunity to co-ordinate this project.
If your interested, and want to find out more details, contact:
