Job positions are specific roles that often fall under a more general Position.

1. From the Job Position page, click **New**.
2. On the New Job Position window, give the job position a name.
    
    Provide a unique name that describes the position.
    
    For example, Group Leader.
3. Enter a title for the job position.
    
    Provide a unique title that specifies the position.
    
    For example, Internal Group Leader or External Group Leader.
4. If the Job Position is related to a Position, search for and select the position to associate the two.
5. Complete as many of the fields as you need for the job position, including start and end dates, status, manager, and last filled date.
6. To relate this job position to a volunteer initiative, select it or create it from the Related Volunteer Initiative list.
7. Save your work.

The new job position opens and is available on the Job Positions page.

After you create the job position, you can complete quick actions directly from the job position page. Click ![Open action menu options.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-sfdo-nonprofit_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/b335b49f-b06d-4153-a454-da90077289d9/nonprofit_cloud/images/down_60.png), and then select **Create a Shift Schedule**, **Find Volunteers**, or **Assign Volunteers**.
