The Together Plan
People and Community Coordinator
As our charity grows, we’ve recognised how important it is to have someone dedicated to looking after our people – the volunteers who make everything we do possible. You’ll be one of the first friendly faces a new volunteer meets, and a familiar, reassuring presence they can turn to throughout their time with us.
Think of it as being the glue that holds our international team together. You’ll welcome people in, help them settle, check in on how they’re getting on, and make sure no one ever feels like just a name on a spreadsheet. It’s an ideal role for someone reliable, friendly and approachable, who genuinely enjoys people and puts them at ease.
In this role - you would be:
Giving new volunteers and team members a warm welcome as they join us, and a proper send-off when they move on.
Checking in with one or two team members each week for a friendly catch-up – a chance to hear how they’re really getting on.
Keeping volunteer and team member information up to date on the charity website, so our community directory always reflects who we really are.
Being the person who makes sure every volunteer and member of staff feels seen, supported and genuinely part of something bigger, wherever in the world they’re joining us from.
What difference you will make
At The Together Plan, we’re proud of the excellent, international team we’ve built – over 60 volunteers across 8 different countries. We share skills, support each other, and are building a strong cross-border community as we go.
In this role you will be helping to support the volunteers, checking in to make sure they are feeling supported and when a team feels supported, then the charity is better equipped to achieve it's objectives.
Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at The Together Plan and without them we couldn't do what we do which is to:
a) support the revival of Jewish community life in Belarus
b) send humanitarian
c) translate and publish books that tell us more about the Jews of Belarus
c) manage a unique Holocaust education programme
d) project manage Jewish heritage and restoration projects
What additional skills or experience you should have
We’re looking for someone reliable, friendly and approachable, who people naturally warm to. If that sounds like you, here’s what will help:
Experience working with volunteers in a non-profit context is desirable but not essential
Sensitive and able to maintain confidentiality
Proactive and self-motivated
Computer literate
Organised
Good attention to detail
Good time management
Communicative and friendly
Quick learner
What training we will provide for you
Core systems training, so you feel confident from day one
All system-specific knowledge provided through training – no prior experience needed
What you will get out of volunteering for us
You will become part of The Together Plan family - a group of individuals many of whom are in the UK but others who are located all around the world, and you will really see the impact of your input which is incredibly meaningful. You will make new friends and learn a lot about hidden history and through our team in Minsk, connect to communities in the former Soviet Union which is deeply meaningful.
As the person who welcomes everyone in, you’ll get to know our close-knit, international family better than almost anyone else. We share skills, learn from each other, and grow together, professionally and personally. We hope you’ll join our family too.
