Are you a proactive and entrepreneurial individual with a knack for communication and a desire to support a great cause? 😃💚 We're looking for a motivated Advertising Volunteer to help us secure vital sponsorship and advertising opportunities.

This role is a fantastic chance to utilise your skills to make a real impact, and it offers flexibility, requiring approximately one

👉 Ensuring invoices are raised and funds are promptly banked and accounted for with the branch treasurer
👉 Liaising with other NCT branches to keep our advertising rates competitive
👉 Connecting with the Volunteering Team before approaching any companies with a UK-wide or significant regional presence to avoid duplication

What we're looking for:
👉 Proactive and entrepreneurial; you're a self-starter who can take initiative
👉 Confident communication skills; you're comfortable engaging with a variety of people
👉 Some comfort with numbers; you're not afraid to work with financial details
👉 Creative problem-solver; you can devise and present innovative solutions to meet advertisers' needs
👉 Negotiation skills are a plus
👉 Willingness to learn and adhere to NCT policies and charity law (e.g., VAT)

What can you expect from us:
👉 A rewarding volunteer experience where you'll meet new people and develop valuable skills
👉 Excellent support from experienced volunteers and our dedicated Volunteering Team
👉 Access to an online platform packed with all the tools, resources, and training you'll need
👉 Most importantly, the chance to make a real and lasting difference to parents in your local community!
