The program 

The Community Mobilisation Team supports Red Cross members and volunteers in Tasmania. We work to build stronger communities, deliver critical programs and services, and raise funds to provide these services.  This is an important role in ensuring that Red Cross can build connected, sharing, and resilient communities.

The opportunity 

Community Mobilisation Volunteers play a pivotal role in the Australian Red Cross. The Community Mobilisation Team works directly with the community to recruit new volunteers and members, and recognise and reward our existing volunteers and members.

To make sure we are always reaching the community, our volunteers, and our members where they are, this is a varied role that could include:

• Hand delivering community newsletters and flyers to letterboxes
• Talking with members of the community about Red Cross and the work we do
• One-on-one digital technology support for potential and existing volunteers
• Calling and interviewing potential volunteers
• Recognising the valued contributions members and volunteers by providing service milestones and organising thank-you events
• Helping to organise and facilitate community events like BBQs and community forums
• Helping to provide a welcoming space for members of the community to share their time, resources, and passions with us
  
  

We will work with you to find a way for you to make a difference in your community. Good organisational skills, well developed computer skills, great verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to work flexibly as part of a team, as well as independently are all very desirable, but not a must.

Community Mobilisation Volunteers will gain valuable skills and experiences building community capacity and supporting volunteers to improve the world and build the Movement.

Red Cross will ensure you have training, ongoing support and access to other opportunities within the world’s largest humanitarian organisation.
