This qualification reflects the role of workers who are responsible for coordinating volunteers within a program or organisation.
Volunteer coordinators provide ongoing management and support to volunteers and are the main point of contact for volunteers.
At this level, workers will generally be autonomous and are required to supervise and lead volunteers in projects or teams. These workers may be employed in a range of industry sectors and in a complex, regularly changing context. This is a management level course intended for those in volunteering or paid positions in the not for profit sector.
