This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding. We have much to be proud of in our one hundred years of history, but we know that to remain vibrant and relevant to young people we must continually evolve.

We have begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people at the heart of our organisation. We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week.

Join our busy and friendly team to help volunteers to use our membership system (GO).  Using your technical expertise and great customer service skills you will enable volunteers to keep offering exciting adventures to girls and young women.

For the first 6-12 months you will be on the ground running projects. As Doorstep Library expands, you will transition away from running the projects on a weekly basis to focus on setting up new ones. There will still be plenty of opportunity to be on the ground reading with families.

You will be truly passionate about the work that we do to support children and families and you will have outstanding interpersonal skills to build relationships with both our dedicated volunteers and the whole family. You will inspire a love of reading in the children we visit, and be a friendly face for their parents/carers, providing support and information where needed.

About Coram Voice

Coram Voice is part of the Coram Group of charities. We are a leading children’s rights organisation. We champion the rights of children. We get young voices heard in decisions that matter to them and work to improve the lives of children in care, care leavers and others who depend upon the help of the state

Coram is committed to improving the lives of the UK’s most vulnerable children and young people.

We support children and young people from birth to independence, creating a change that lasts a lifetime.

Coram is the UK’s oldest children’s charity founded by Thomas Coram in London helping vulnerable children and young people since 1739. Today, the Coram group helps more than one million children, young people, families and professionals every year by providing access to the skills and opportunities they need to thrive.

About the role

Working as a member of Coram Voice’s growing Voices Improving Care team, you will be part of a national research programme with distinguished academics and a leading children’s rights charity. You will get experience across many areas including project support, research and policy and practice improvement. You will work to amplify the voices of children and young people in their care.

The Bright Spots Programme is a partnership between Coram Voice and the Rees Centre, University of Oxford. It supports local authorities to systematically listen to their children in care and care leavers about the things that are important to them. The project is unique as it puts children’s experience and voices at the heart of how we measure success in children’s services. It seeks to ensure that children and young people’s voices inform service development and strategic thinking and gives a platform for sharing good practice and encouraging learning between local authorities.

The main focus of the Project Coordinator role will be to support the Operations Manager in running the Bright Spots Programme in local authorities across the country. You will play a key role in the development and implementation of the programme, working closely with our local authority partners as well as the wider Voices Improving Care team.

This is a varied role with scope for growth and development for someone at an early stage in their career or wishing to take their career in a new direction and develop new skills and competencies. You will be joining a leading children’s rights charity with a passion for making young voices heard and improving outcomes for children and young people.

We particularly welcome applications from those with lived experience of the care system.
