ROLE DESCRIPTION
Scottish Volleyball is seeking to recruit an experienced Workforce and Welfare Officer to effectively manage the recruitment and retention of volunteers, the development and promotion of volleyball within education, as well as provide expert support, advice and assistance to staff, our commissions, members and affiliated clubs regarding the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) and Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport (CWPS).
Scottish Volleyball appreciates that this full-time appointment combines two specialised roles, and ideally, we would like candidates to have a strong knowledge of both these areas (Workforce and Welfare). However, we will consider someone who may be stronger in one area than the other but who is willing to develop, with our support, and bring the second area up to the level we require. A combination of two part-time roles may also be considered if the right candidates apply (in this case, pro-rata salaries would be offered).
