About the Charity

We are Diabetes UK and our mission is to tackle diabetes, day in and day out, until it can do no harm. With more people than ever living with diabetes and millions more at risk of developing Type 2, our work has never been more needed.  

But there’s so much more to do – and you can be part of it. 

Summary of role

Volunteers are involved in everything we do at Diabetes UK – in fact, we’re only able to help and support so many people because of our volunteers. The Volunteering & Mobilisation Lead plays a key role in developing our volunteer offer and aligning the work of the Communities & Volunteering team with the charity’s long-term aims so that together we can create a world where diabetes does no harm.

Ensuring we have a diverse, happy and motivated community of volunteers and local partners means we’re set up to succeed. Being able to support colleagues to develop those strategic relationships and demonstrate the impact our volunteers are having will show we’re tackling the biggest issues.
