  • Nov 2017 - Sep 2020

  Working with the award-winning, ethically sound non-profit organisation Pod Volunteer, I am constantly improving my skills in a wide variety of fields. Operating in a small team, I am the manager of multiple volunteering projects around the world - my duties include supporting volunteers before, during and after their placements, liaising with project partners both daily and through project visits, developing our social media presence and ensuring the information, risk-assessments and preparation for my projects are up to date. A large part of my role comes from contributing to the marketing of the organisation - this is achieved through writing blogs, updating our website and attending careers fairs and providing talks and presentations to large groups of students. The nature of the job calls for me to constantly be prepared for last minute changes as working with partners in a variety of countries around the world means I must factor in different operating times and changes in development of the country, as well as having a nuanced understanding of cultural variation.
