Good afternoon, 

This is my first post and I hope that this the right place to ask.   A bit of background, I am currently leading an organisation wide Learning and Development Programme for a branch of a national charity.  The role is unpaid but sits at leadership level, involving establishing the L&D function, programme design, delivery across 80+ staff, induction of evaluation frameworks and implementation of centralised tracking systems. 

When presenting this experience on my CV, I am considering whether to describe it as volunteer, pro-bono, pro-bono leadership role, or simply list the role title and clarify the basis elsewhere. 

My question is:  In your experience, does the term "volunteer" risk unintentionally diluting senior level scope when applying for paid leadership roles.  Or does the substance and impact of the work what ultimately carries weight. 

Which one would you use or alternative suggestions.  

I would value insight from those involved in recruitment or hiring in the charity sector. 

Thank you.
