Job - Volunteer Co-ordinator Museum of London

The Museum of London is looking to recruit its first ever Volunteer Co-ordinator (details below), this is potentially quite an exciting role as the person will be setting up policies and procedures from scratch (with support from the Hub Volunteer Management Adviser) and working with staff to develop new roles. The post is currently only funded until March, but we have applied for further funding, and as developing its capacity to involve volunteers, is a priority for the museum in the run up to the Olympics, there is very likely that the post will be extended. If you are interested see the details below - sorry about the unwieldy link, you may have to cut and paste it into internet explorer to make it work. Please do pass this on to anyone you think might be interested.
