We're looking for a Volunteer Recruitment Advisor to help us grow and strengthen our volunteer community by attracting people who are passionate about making a difference.

• Share ideas and recommendations to help grow and strengthen our volunteer pipeline.
• Work collaboratively with our Operations Team to ensure we continue to attract and retain amazing volunteers.

We're looking for someone who:

• Experience in recruitment, talent acquisition, human resources, volunteer management, or community engagement would be wonderful but not essential

• Enjoys connecting people with meaningful opportunities

• Has strong communication and relationship-building skills

• Thinks strategically and enjoys solving recruitment challenges

Why volunteer with us?

This is an opportunity to use your professional skills to create lasting social impact. Your expertise will help us attract passionate volunteers who make it possible for thousands of Australians to access free haircuts, meaningful conversations, and a sense of dignity and connection.

Together, we'll continue building a stronger, more connected community, one volunteer at a time.
