Events Manager - Volunteer

Help Endometriosis South Coast create empowering, inclusive events for our community. Plan, organise, and deliver impactful awareness and support events across the region.

What difference will you make?

Events are at the heart of what we do at Endometriosis South Coast — they help us connect with our community, raise awareness, and share life-changing information. By organising and coordinating these events, you’ll ensure that people living with endometriosis have access to supportive spaces where they feel heard, informed, and empowered.

Your role will make a tangible difference by helping us reach more people, build stronger networks, and promote understanding of endometriosis across schools, workplaces, and healthcare settings. Well-planned events also help us attract new volunteers, partnerships, and funding opportunities, strengthening the sustainability of our charity.

Behind the scenes, your contribution will allow our small team to focus on advocacy and resource development while trusting that our events are in safe hands. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring our activities run smoothly and professionally — whether it’s a small support session or a large-scale conference.

With your help, we can continue to grow our presence, improve visibility, and create lasting change for those affected by endometriosis.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a motivated, organised, and creative person who enjoys planning and seeing ideas come to life. You don’t need to be a professional event planner — enthusiasm, reliability, and strong communication skills are what matter most.

Our ideal volunteer will

• Be highly organised and comfortable managing multiple tasks or deadlines.
• Enjoy planning and coordinating events, with an eye for detail.
• Have good communication and teamwork skills, working closely with volunteers, venues, and partners.
• Be confident using email, online forms, and scheduling tools (training provided).
• Have a proactive and solution-focused mindset, ready to adapt when things change.
• Be passionate about supporting people with endometriosis and contributing to a cause that makes a real difference.

Experience in event planning, administration, or community work is essential. We are looking for someone to hit the ground running.

This role would suit someone who

• Enjoys bringing people together and creating meaningful experiences.
• Wants to build skills in event management, logistics, and charity coordination.
• Is looking for a flexible volunteer opportunity that makes a visible impact.

You’ll be joining a passionate and supportive team that values inclusivity, collaboration, and creativity. Your efforts will help shape the success of our community events — and by doing so, you’ll play a key part in changing how people understand and experience endometriosis.

What will you be doing?

We need an experienced hand.
