Share is a registered charity and a centre for training and wellbeing. We provide a range of programmes helping adults with learning disabilities, autism and other support needs to become happier, healthier and more independent. Our vision is a world where disabled people are fully included in society, living the life they choose, and we need talented people to help us make that happen.

Our Go Anywhere, Do Anything (GADA) project is part of our social inclusion provision at Share. It sees volunteers and students go on regular social outings to do things our students want to do. Our volunteers make this possible, supporting our students to navigate challenges and have fun on the trips. We currently run 36 GADA trips a year but are only scratching the surface of demand. We are looking for someone to support the growth of this project to 65 trips a year.

Main responsibilities

• You’ll work with our students to co-design a programme of GADA trips, as well as sign up students and volunteers to the trips.

• You’ll recruit and train GADA volunteers and support them on trips.

• You’ll organise GADA trips, including risk assessing them, planning how to make them accessible, carrying out administration such as buying tickets, and providing volunteers with the information they need.

• You’ll provide broader volunteer support, helping to deliver inductions for new volunteers, including supporting with interviews, taster days and induction training.

• You will support volunteer check-ins and surveys for all volunteers, including those in non-GADA roles.

• You’ll have experience of working or volunteering with people who need support, either in your personal or professional life.

• You’ll have experience of coordinating volunteers or projects, preferably in a community setting.

• You can build good working relationships with a range of stakeholders, including volunteers, staff, students, families, carers and external venues.

• Most importantly, you share our strong commitment to the inclusion of disabled people in society and believe in equality for all.

Why work for us?

Share is committed to empowering disabled people. You’ll make a difference every day, helping people to live as independently as possible.

Our values drive us forward. They provide the framework for everything we do, including who we hire. We believe everyone has something to offer others, and we build on people’s individual talents, interests and abilities. We think happy employees are successful employees.

We truly understand the value of people: we focus on what people can do, not what holds them back. We also have robust policies in place so that every person working at Share takes ownership of bringing our programmes to life.

We’ve been praised for our supportive working environment, where everyone has a voice and is valued. You’ll be surrounded by people who support you, challenge you and inspire you.

A full list of benefits can be found on our website.

• Embedding systems, processes, and consistent ways of working

• Improving organisational coordination, decision-making, and operational effectiveness
• Providing visible, steady leadership to support confidence and cohesion across teams
