Further information

At Christian Aid we strive to be an inclusive and diverse employer and recognise the value that this brings in helping to build strong, creative and high performing teams.

We are actively encouraging racialised minorities, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, returning parents or carers who are re-entering work after a career break, people with caring responsibilities, people from low socioeconomic backgrounds, women, and older workers to apply. This is because these groups are under-represented within our teams, especially at senior level, and we recognise and value the contributions members of these groups make to strong, creative and high performing teams. 

We have a strong Christian ethos and we encourage applications from all faiths. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate an understanding of and sympathy with Christian Aid’s faith identity. 

All successful candidates will require a DBS/police check appropriate to the role and location and a Counter Terrorism Sanction check as part of your clearance for commencing your role with us. We also participate in the Inter Agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme.  In line with this Scheme, we will request information as part of the referencing process from job applicants’ previous employers about any findings of sexual exploitation, sexual abuse and/or sexual harassment during employment, or incidents under investigation when the applicant left employment. By submitting an application, the job applicant confirms their understanding of these recruitment procedures.

This role requires applicants to have the right to live and work in the country where this position is based and undertake the role that you have been offered. If you are successful and we make you an offer for the role, we will be required to conduct a right to work check on your immigration status in the UK. We will contact you regarding the documentation you will need to provide to evidence this. 

Our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do at Richmond Borough Mind. They help us deliver a wide range of mental health services to our community, from counselling, Peer Group Network, Peer Support to Crisis support. Their dedication makes a real difference and we are committed to supporting them every step of the way.

We are seeking a passionate and proactive Volunteering Coordinator to ensure our volunteers feel valued, supported and inspired. In this role, you will:

· Identify and plan for the organisation’s volunteer needs.

· Lead on volunteer recruitment, induction and retention.

· Provide guidance, training and personal development opportunities — with a particular focus on supporting those with lived experience of mental health.

· Build strong relationships, fostering a positive and inclusive volunteer culture. 

About you
If you are a natural people-person who thrives on building connections, with experience in volunteer coordination and administration, and you have excellent communication and organisational skills, this role is for you.

This role requires flexibility and a willingness to travel within the Borough of Richmond. In return, you’ll join a dedicated team in a supportive environment where your work will have a tangible impact on people’s lives.

RB Mind offers:

· Flexible working

· 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays per year, increasing by 1 day per full year of service (up to a maximum of 30 days) [pro rata]

· Contributory pension

· Bonus 1 day of annual leave per year over the festive period (pro rata)

· Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which includes free counselling sessions

· Training and personal development opportunities

· Paid time off for medical appointments

· Staff away days and socials

The successful candidate will be subject to a Disclosure & Barring (DBS) check.

Interviews will be held soon after the closing date of Sunday 14th December.

The Volunteer Coordinator we are looking for will enjoy this unique opportunity to grow and develop our current volunteer work into a thriving and sustainable programme. Our large Cadbury family home with five acres of beautiful grounds is a retreat centre for justice, reconciliation and peace and, as a result of this role, will become a fantastic space for volunteers to flourish while supporting the physical place, vision and work of the charity.

Our current volunteer work includes a small group of local individuals who meet for a monthly volunteer days to work on the grounds and maintenance, and who support our retreat and fundraising events. A relationship with BT has enabled us to begin to offer voluntary opportunities for their local staff and this area is ready to be developed. Volunteers of all faiths and none are invited, but not required, to participate in the rhythm of prayer at the house, and all have the opportunity to hear about the vision and work as part of their experience with us. To work with our bookings a development plan may look like a more regular midweek volunteer day, a regular Sunday volunteer day and a schedule of individual volunteering tasks to be undertaken when staff are onsite during the week.

This post is initially funded for one year. If the role proves fruitful The Greenhouse will seek grant funding to extend it; however, continuation beyond the first year cannot be guaranteed.

The Volunteer Coordinator is a new and developmental role within The Greenhouse at Barnes Close. It offers an engaging opportunity to join our staff team and build upon a small as-yet underdeveloped volunteer programme in a beautiful and rewarding place to work. They will also enjoy the oversight of a discerning and experienced Board of Trustees.
