About us
Royal Museums Greenwich is a collection of diverse historical sites. The sites are the National Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, and the Queen’s House. Each of these sites has a unique identity and a common purpose to serve our communities, through sharing our collections and expertise. We are a place to explore the sea, space, art and history, and our strategy ‘Charting Our Course’ puts people at the core of its success.
The role
Working in the People and Culture team and reporting to the Talent Acquisition and Volunteer Manager, the Talent Acquisition and Volunteer Coordinator provides support across all recruitment and volunteering activities including inductions, development, training, volunteer relations and recognition, and benefits. This role will assist the Talent Acquisition and Volunteer Manager in delivering the strategic plan for recruitment and volunteering at Royal Museums Greenwich; creatively identifying ways to extend, improve and promote the range of employment, volunteering and work experience opportunities, and to actively increase the diversity of our staff and volunteers.
Key talent acquisition-focused responsibilities involve coordinating the recruitment process from start to finish: amending job descriptions, advertising, shortlisting, interviewing, coordinating recruitment days and making offers. Key volunteer-focused responsibilities include supporting the recruitment of new volunteers and the appointment of student placements and work experience opportunities, liaising with the sites’ multiple volunteer coordinators to assess, maintain and develop site and department-specific volunteer roles.
The successful candidate will need to have experience of the full recruitment cycle and managing day to day recruitment tasks with candidate experience at the centre; experience of working with different groups and audiences and the skills to engage with them; and a strong interest in supporting an innovative and exciting volunteer programme at Royal Museums Greenwich. The ability to tailor processes, guidelines, paperwork and policies to meet the needs of different groups of people, and the ability to identify new opportunities within volunteering and adapt them to the needs of Royal Museums Greenwich are both essential to this role, as is an understanding of the benefits of diversity and inclusion, with an interest in finding solutions to increase diversity. The postholder will have excellent planning and organisation skills, with the ability to manage competing demands; creative problem-solving skills, a friendly, supportive, adaptable, and approachable communication and listening style, and good IT skills.
This is a full-time, permanent role in Band 7 - Coordinators. Core hours of work will be 36 per week, working 5 days between the hours of 9am-5pm, although due to the nature of the work, some flexibility may be required.
