Big Heart Appeal Area Coordinator

Overview

The Heart Foundation is looking for big-hearted volunteer Area Coordinators to play a key role in organising our biggest fundraiser of the year, the Big Heart Appeal. Heart disease is New Zealand’s single biggest killer and claims the life of one person every 90 minutes. Donations raised through the Big Heart Appeal will fund cutting‑edge research into heart disease and specialist training for New Zealand cardiologists.

Responsibilities

• Liaise with and provide support for volunteer street collectors collecting at the site / s you are looking after during street collection.
• Receive and distribute street collector equipment (buckets, bibs, stickers) to volunteers; once volunteers have collected, gather the equipment up so the Heart Foundation can arrange to have it collected from your place in the week / s after the collection.
• Visit the site or sites you are looking after to ensure everything is running smoothly during the two days of street collection.
• Arrange banking of the donated funds at your closest ASB bank.
• Serve as the first point of contact for volunteer street collectors and troubleshoot any issues that may arise on the two appeal days.
