Project Team Leader (3624)

Our team of caring volunteers creates a fresh start for survivors of domestic violence by fully furnishing a safe, welcoming home. As a Team Leader, you’ll take charge of one Sanctuary project from start to finish—holding the keys for 7 days. Your role includes coordinating with support workers, managing key handover and return, completing forms and measurements, and organising the home setup. This is a hands-on opportunity to guide and inspire volunteers and help transform lives.

Imagine being the reason a family or individual surviving domestic violence walks into a beautifully furnished and welcoming home. When a family arrives at a safe new beginning, you’ll know your leadership and teamwork made it possible. Along the way, you will build skills in team leadership, project coordination, time management, and working directly with a support agency. Volunteer Team Leaders may be entitled to a reimbursement, to be discussed with each volunteer.

We support new volunteers every step of the way, starting with an induction and onboarding. You will meet our team of friendly volunteers at our Newcastle storage site. New Team Leaders are mentored through their first project to ensure they feel confident and prepared.
