Under reviewReviewed 9 Aug 2026

Volunteer managers build accessible roles, support systems and recognition that help people contribute effectively.

What you will do

Design roles, recruit and onboard volunteers, coordinate training, maintain communication and measure retention and experience.

Where you could work

Workplaces include clubs, schools, leagues, governing bodies, venues, event organisers, teams, agencies and cricket technology or service businesses.

Common entry routes

Entry routes vary by profession and may include relevant study, transferable experience, volunteering, internships, club work or progression from another cricket role. Regulated professions require the appropriate local credentials.

Working arrangements

Arrangements may be permanent, contract, seasonal, part-time or voluntary. Match-day, evening, weekend and travel requirements are common in operational roles.

Paid and voluntary work

Many specialist and leadership roles are paid. Community, board and early-experience opportunities may be voluntary or expenses-only; the listing or provider should state this clearly.

Career progression

Progression normally combines stronger evidence of delivery, broader responsibility, continuing development and movement between club, regional, national or international environments.

Editorial trust

Checked, not guessed.
