Design and implement a marketing campaign to help our Samaritans branch in Northallerton recruit more volunteers, build awareness of the service we offer, and attract donations for our branch.
You would assist us with developing and executing a marketing plan to promote the role of a Samaritans Volunteer to encourage a diverse range of suitable potential volunteers to apply from the town of Northallerton and surrounding towns and villages for a listening volunteering role within the Samaritans Northallerton Branch, answering calls to those in need of emotional support via our national helpline (116 123). We need to increase our branch volunteer base from 37 active volunteers to around 50 within the next 3 years to enable us to cover all our shifts from the branch in Northallerton.
You would not need to travel to our branch in Northallerton – the majority could be done via Zoom. However, periodic visits would be of benefit, for which travel expenses would be made. Interested applicants should contact the Branch Director, Julian Hooker in the first instance (Northallerton.Director@samaritans.org). You would then be given instructions on how to apply as a Support Volunteer, after which a Zoom interview would be arranged. DBS checks would need be made, and you would complete mandatory on-line training modules on safeguarding and Equity Diversity and Inclusion (taking around 40 minutes each).
