Perth, Canada Shelter Movers Full time

**About Shelter Movers**

Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. We collaborate with local businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free of violence. Every year, in collaboration with community partners, our volunteer teams contribute over 15,000 hours to support people transitioning to lives free of violence and abuse.

Working at Shelter Movers means creating a meaningful impact for families experiencing abuse. It also means showing allyship and playing a tangible role in breaking the cycle of gender-based violence in Canada. We are growing and looking to add caring, compassionate, and competent people to join our team.

**Role Details**:

- Approximately 10 hours weekly dedicated to research, program development and assessment and administrative work (researching recruitment avenues, interviews, meetings etc.).
- Approximately 5 hours weekly dedicated to physical outreach/recruitment (local meetings, visiting local businesses, dropping off posters and promotional materials, attending outreach events).
- Remuneration: $20 per hour
- Location: Remote (Some in-person [Perth] meetings and events, including attending moves or visiting storage locations.)

**About this Role**

Volunteer Services Recruitment Coordinators ensure that both Shelter Movers organizational needs and individual volunteers’ needs are met as part of a positive, sustainable relationship. This position is integral to supporting the growth of volunteer recruitment and retention in Lanark County and the sustainability of the rural extension project. This involves recruitment, training, and support of volunteers, administrative/office duties, program development and evaluation, celebrating volunteer achievements, advocating for volunteers within the organization, contributing to our long-term strategy, and being one of the public’s first points of contact with Shelter Movers. Looking for a dynamic, independent decision maker who is highly motivated, enthusiastic and well connected to the community.

- Working with the Volunteer Services Manager (VSM) and Rural Extension Coordinator (REC) to assess areas for improvement, potential gaps in current recruitment plan, and develop a sustainable long-term recruitment plan.
- Communicating with volunteer applicants on behalf of Shelter Movers, assisting in the onboarding of volunteers, and regularly updating relevant volunteer databases.
- Conducting phone interviews with rural volunteer applicants and assessing suitability of applicants to volunteer with Shelter Movers.
- Gain familiarity with our volunteer management platform (Volunteer Hub), and develop the ability to generate reports.
- Having regular check-ins with the Volunteer Services Manager and Rural Extension Coordinator.

- Reliable work habits and strong organizational skills.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills.
- Tact, discretion, high maturity level and good judgment.
- Awareness of appropriate boundaries, compassion fatigue, and self-care.
