Workforce & Volunteer Manager

Start Date: June 2026

The Workforce & Volunteer Manager will be responsible for developing and implementing the overall workforce and volunteering strategy across all competition venues, ensuring alignment with Games-wide objectives. This role serves as the primary liaison between the Organising Company, venue managers, and contractors. Key duties include supporting the OC in overseeing recruitment, onboarding, and background checks for staff and volunteers, fostering a positive and inclusive culture, and delivering comprehensive training programmes. The role ensures effective day-to-day workforce management, including shift allocation, real-time deployment, attendance tracking, and contingency planning. Additional responsibilities include providing ongoing support, recognition, and wellbeing initiatives, as well as managing offboarding processes, feedback collection, and facilitating post-Games employment and skills development opportunities for staff and volunteers.

Working arrangements

The role will initially be based at the Organising Company’s Glasgow city centre office, with visits to competition venues as required to support the effective delivery of responsibilities. As the Games approach, the role will transition to being primarily based at your assigned competition venue.

The position is initially contracted for 37.5 hours per week (with a 30-minute lunch break), with office attendance aligned to the Organising Company’s working pattern. During the Games-time operational period, shift patterns will apply and may include evenings and weekends.
