The Charity

The Youth Adventure Trust is a youth development charity working with vulnerable young people aged 11 to 16 years old from Wiltshire and Swindon. Our outdoor activity based Youth Adventure Programme enables young people to challenge themselves, experience success, learn to go beyond their own expectations and grow in confidence. Through a series of residential camps and day activities they are able to build resilience, self esteem and develop social and life skills. The Mentoring Scheme is an additional offer for those young people identified as in need of some further individualised support at the end of the main programme. Volunteer mentors work with a young person for up to a year, supporting them with issues they are experiencing, continuing to develop their confidence, resilience and life skills, and working towards the outcomes the young person has identified for themselves. The Trust’s Bursary Scheme is open to all those young people who have completed the main programme to assist their next steps into further activities.  All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are nominated to take part. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people.

The Role

We are looking for a motivated individual to support the delivery and expansion of our Mentoring and Bursary Schemes. You will be involved in all aspects of the schemes, supporting the Mentoring Manager to ensure they run effectively. You will need experience of direct work with young people, as well as experience working with or managing volunteers.

This role includes responsibility for:

• Supporting the young people’s transition from the main programme into the Mentoring Scheme including attending their Pathway Days, and acting as a key point of contact for young people and their parents.
• Assisting the recruitment of volunteer mentors including fulfilling our commitment to Safer Recruitment.
• Organising, preparing and information sharing with volunteers to ensure they are ready to fulfil their role.
• Supporting the matching process to establish the best fit between young people and mentors.
• Acting as a key point of contact and support for volunteers throughout their time as a mentor, including being available on-call during session times which may occur in the evening and occasionally at weekends.
• Working in partnership with the young people’s families, referral agencies and other organisations to maximise the benefits for the young people involved.
• Creating and delivering training opportunities for new and existing volunteers in conjunction with the Mentoring Manager.
• Administrating all aspects of a volunteer and young person’s involvement with the Mentoring Scheme, including completing the relevant checks and references, record keeping and database maintenance.
• Facilitating young people’s access to the Bursary Scheme including promoting the scheme, assessing applications, identifying and acquiring items and requesting follow up feedback.
• Supporting the effective monitoring of the schemes and measurement of young people’s outcomes.
• Participating in sector networking and awareness raising on behalf of the Youth Adventure Trust.
• Acting as an ambassador for the Youth Adventure Trust at all times.

The post is subject to a six months’ probationary period.

You will need comprehensive knowledge of volunteering, and demonstrable skills at building effective relationships with volunteers, parents/carers, and professional organisations.

About the role:

Leading the fight against dementia takes many forms at Alzheimer’s Society. In addition to funding research and raising public awareness, for example, we run some of the most effective local support services in the country. We offer regular support services in a safe and secure environment.

As the Group Coordinator, you will coordinate, organise and facilitate the engaging and safe running of group services aimed to support those affected by dementia and their carers’. This may include Dementia cafés, activity groups, peer support groups and singing for the brain.

The sessions should be well designed and allow participants to engage fully to maximise their enjoyment and the beneficial impact; taking account of individual needs of group attendees when designing group sessions and adjusting the programme as necessary. The role will involve effective service user involvement, co-ordination of service-related volunteers and liaising with relevant statutory and voluntary organisations in the area.

About you:

You will possess an NVQ Level 2 or equivalent as well as having good organisation and facilitation skills combined with excellent communication and listening skills. An understanding of the value of group activities to people living with dementia along with experience in a care or support environment will be essential. We are looking for an individual who has experience in coordinating, organising and facilitating group work. It is desirable that you have experience of coordinating volunteers and liaising with statutory and voluntary agencies.

Due to the nature of this role you will be required to travel independently across all of Derbyshire. As a home-based worker, you will be required to attend a range of meetings at the Nottingham office as and when required. Flexible working across Derbyshire is essential. A DBS disclosure will be required.

If you have the qualities we’re looking for and are passionate about improving the quality of life for people with dementia, then we want to hear from you.

You may have experience of the following: Group Coordinator, Charity, Activity Group Coordinator, Dementia, Support Worker, Voluntary Services, Third Sector, Not for Profit, NFP, Volunteer, etc.
