Purpose of the Role
We are launching an exciting new Supported Volunteering Programme to help anyone who wants to volunteer find a meaningful role. As the project co‐ordinator, you'll work with individuals facing barriers to accessing volunteering – including people with learning or physical disabilities, young people, long‐term unemployed, and those experiencing mental health challenges.
You will work with individuals to develop a personalised development plan, and with a variety of organisations to create suitable, supported and inclusive volunteering opportunities. You'll manage the programme day‐to‐day, recruit and support Volunteer Mentors, and build strong community partnerships to ensure everyone has the chance to contribute and thrive through volunteering. You will oversee the further development of social action groups enabling people to come together, socialise, develop life skills, and have opportunities for days out and additional learning. You will play a major role in championing volunteering and ensuring sustainable volunteering pathways for all.
