A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a full time Casework Administrator to join the Wales Region at SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, supports the person behind the uniform; any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us. Every year, SSAFA helps more than 82,000 people from the Forces family to get back on their feet: those currently serving, reserves, veterans, and their families. Support is there for people at any stage in their military career; from the youngest recruit to the oldest veteran – no one’s service is ever forgotten. We give hope, help and personal support for as long as it takes to get that person’s life back to where they want it to be.

Please wait until the job offer stage before asking about flexibility, and we will explore what is possible for the role.

About the team

In this new role you will initially be working closely with volunteers from SSAFA branches in South Wales, supporting them to administer casework for SSAFA beneficiaries. As the role develops, we anticipate that the successful candidate will work as part of a larger support team in the future All Wales Regional Office.

About you

To carry out this role successfully you will have a track record of:

• Providing excellent customer service by phone, e-mail, and face to face.
• Using Microsoft Office 365 to a high standard.
• Planning and managing your own workload with minimal supervision.
• Recruiting and supporting volunteers.
• Understanding of the way of life for today’s Armed Forces, veterans, and their families.
• Understand the voluntary sector and preferably the military charity sector landscape in Wales.

Why do we need an Operations Coordinator?

Müllers exists today to “Strengthen the Church to meet the needs of the vulnerable.” In all we do,

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 and dynamic individual to support the delivery and expansion of our Mentoring and Bursary Schemes. You will be involved in all aspects of the schemes, ensuring they run effectively and meet the identified needs and requirements. You will need experience of direct work with young people, as well as experience working with or managing volunteers.

• Supporting the effective monitoring of the schemes and measurement of young people’s outcomes.
• Participating in 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.

The Candidate

To be up to the challenge you will need excellent understanding and a proven track record of working with vulnerable young people. You will need comprehensive knowledge of volunteering, and demonstrable skills at building effective relationships with volunteers, parents/carers, and professional organisations. You will need strong engagement skills to effectively support both the young people and volunteer mentors. You’ll be an excellent communicator, a strong team player and an exemplary role model.
