Role

Scotland’s first modern hospice, St Columba’s Hospice Care first opened its doors in 1977. Over the years it has grown and evolved into an exemplary provider of specialist palliative care for thousands of people with life-limiting illnesses in Edinburgh and the Lothians, while also providing support to their relatives and loved ones. Our patients face a range of conditions, including cancer, respiratory disease, heart failure and MND.

St Columba’s Hospice Care has involved volunteers since it opened. We now have an exciting opportunity for an Administrator to join our Volunteer Services team, working with approximately 600 amazing volunteers in all areas of Hospice activity. You will provide comprehensive administrative support and will assist with the promotion and development of volunteering; including new volunteer initiatives and roles across St Columba’s Hospice Care, in our retail shops and in the community.

We are looking for an individual with a combination of strong database, administrative and people skills. You will maintain our volunteer database (Better Impact) on a day-to-day basis. You will review and improve our database procedures, ensuring the quality of data we hold, offer training and support to other users, and carry out a range of administrative functions including inputting data, carrying out data cleansing activities, extracting information and reports, and troubleshooting issues. You will offer a range of administrative and organisational functions within the Volunteer Services department, dealing with staff, volunteers and the public online, by telephone and face to face.

You should possess strong communication, organisational and MS Office skills and will ideally have some experience of volunteer management. Most importantly, you’ll be an enthusiastic and friendly individual, who enjoys dealing with people from a wide range of backgrounds.
