The focus of my role is to ensure my team is enabled to support, coach and mentor Managers of Volunteer.

The Helpdesk team provides day to day support and advice to Managers of Volunteers (MoV) and my role is to ensure this frees up our Volunteer Resources Advisors so they can invest more time in face to face support and coaching.

I also get involved in backing up the team with field or phone support when required. What I love is seeing MoVs discover that there are support and resources to help them be successful with their Volunteer Involvement
