About Us:
Te Whare o Te Ata (Fairfield/Chartwell Community Centre) is a welcoming house, established in 1986, that exists to serve the local Fairfield & Chartwell communities. It provides a range of opportunities for individuals and whaanau.
This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of a meaningful project that will strengthen how our organisation engages and supports volunteers.
We are looking for a motivated and organised individual to design and establish a simple but effective volunteer management system. This will involve working closely with our team to understand our needs, building a structured volunteer database, and helping us create a reliable pool of volunteers for both regular and ad hoc support.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to gain practical, New Zealand-based experience in coordination, systems thinking and stakeholder engagement.
What You Will Be Doing
- Meeting with staff to understand volunteer and operational needs
- Designing a simple system to organise volunteer information
- Creating and maintaining a volunteer database (Excel or Google Sheets)
- Matching volunteer skills and interests with organisational needs
- Supporting outreach and engagement with current and potential volunteers
- Establishing processes that can be sustained beyond the initial 3 months
