Volunteers are recruited, trained and matched with community members to offer friendship, practical support and a listening ear.

About the role:

As a Compassionate Neighbour Coordinator, you’ll inspire local people to become a Compassionate Neighbour in their community, match them with those who would benefit from companionship, and support those relationships as they grow.  From selecting, onboarding and getting to know volunteers, to visiting members of the community and matching them with a volunteer, your work with the team will help create a stronger, more connected community across our care area.  You will oversee the continued development of our Compassionate Cafes in the community.

About You:

If you’re a natural people‑person who communicates with warmth and clarity, enjoys empowering others and is comfortable working with volunteers, then this could be the role for you. You’ll be organised, confident engaging with a wide range of people and able to build trust quickly, with strong written communication skills and the ability to produce clear, accurate written materials, carefully considering wording and tone to suit your audience.

Experience in community, health, social care or volunteer‑focused settings is helpful, but your enthusiasm, compassion and ability to listen are what really matter. You’ll understand safeguarding, value inclusivity, and bring a flexible, positive approach to your work. A full driving licence and access to a car are essential.

As well as our competitive salary package and the opportunity of joining an organisation where you will be able to make a difference to our patients and their families, we offer a range of great benefits, which include:

• 27 days’ annual leave plus recognised public holidays - rising to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 33 days after 10 years’ service (pro rata for part time)
• free on-site parking
• tranquil Hospice grounds
• subsidised meals at our on-site restaurant 
• Employee Assistance Programme
• access to the Blue Light Card discount scheme
• Access to a Group Personal Pension Plan (provided by Scottish Widows) plus we also offer an Auto-enrolment pension with NEST. If you have been a member of the NHS Pension Scheme, you may be able to continue your contributions to that scheme during your time at Princess Alice Hospice.
• excellent changing facilities (with showers, fresh towels, and hairdryers)
• wellbeing care - we provide a programme of activities, opportunities, and guidance to inspire and support our employees to live a healthy life, at home and at work.

If you are enthusiastic, flexible and share our values and care about making a difference in the last years of someone’s life, we would love to hear from you!

Ace of Clubs is at an exciting stage of growth, with increasing impact across our services. To continue delivering high-quality support to people experiencing homelessness—while ensuring long-term financial sustainability—we are seeking a dedicated Funding and Finance Co-ordinator.

This is a pivotal role, supporting the co-ordination and administration of our income, fundraising activity, financial management, cost efficiency, impact data, and funding reporting. You will contribute directly to the organisation’s sustainability, growth, and financial accountability, working closely with our Volunteer Treasurer and the Director - who provides strategic oversight whilst remaining actively involved in the day-to-day operations. 

You will help co-ordinate and develop a range of income streams and funding projects, including individual giving, community fundraising, events, corporate partnerships, and trusts and foundations. The role also involves supporting new fundraising opportunities, monitoring impact and fundraising data, stewarding donors through engagement and communications, and assisting with funding applications and reporting.

Alongside this, you will play a key role in the day-to-day financial administration of the charity. This includes tracking income across multiple platforms, monitoring expenditure, and producing reports to support forecasting and strategic planning.

You will also support the administration and review of core organisational contracts, such as utilities, insurance, IT, and HR, helping to ensure value for money and operational efficiency.

Working collaboratively with colleagues and partners, you will help gather and present impact data across our services, tailoring this for both internal use and external stakeholders.

This is a varied and rewarding role, suited to a highly organised administrator with strong Microsoft Office skills (particularly Excel), excellent written and numerical ability, and a keen eye for detail. You should be comfortable working with data and finances, whilst also engaging confidently with a wide range of people—including donors, partners, volunteers, and guests. An understanding of, and empathy with, the homelessness sector is essential.
