About Us

Unfold is an established local charity, supporting young people and families in Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea to get where they want to be, identifying and achieving their goals through mentoring and peer support.   

For over 35 years, we have been supporting people who face social injustice, from families seeking asylum and young people excluded from school to women rebuilding confidence after hardship. Our programmes are rooted in empowerment and inclusion, led by trained volunteers who mentor, listen, and champion change.

Last year, we supported over 450 women, young people, and families, and with our team now 19-strong, we’re growing our reach, our partnerships, and our impact.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Programme Coordinator who is passionate about supporting young people and committed to social change.

In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll coordinate Unfold’s mentoring programmes, from recruiting, training, and supporting volunteer mentors to assessing and matching young people. You’ll also play a key role in delivering our weekly Youth Support Groups for young people seeking asylum, developing partnerships, and ensuring each mentoring journey is well-supported, safe, and impactful.

You’ll work closely with the Programme Manager and a small, dynamic team to help us deliver a quality, inclusive service that puts young people’s needs at the centre.

About You

You’ll bring:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and trust.
• Strong organisational skills, able to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.
• Good data management skills, with attention to detail and accuracy.
• Understanding of the volunteer sector and what makes volunteer experiences meaningful.
• Experience working with young people or children, with empathy and sensitivity to their needs.
• Confidence in public speaking and facilitating group sessions.
• A passion for supporting families to improve outcomes for children and young people.
• Experience in partnership management and workshop facilitation.

You’ll be personable, people-oriented, and a good listener. You'll thrive in community settings and will be willing to work the occasional evening or weekend to support activities and events.

Why Join Us?

• Holidays: 25 working days (along with additional Christmas closedown days)
• Pension: We offer a generous pension provision. New staff are automatically enrolled for a pension after three months, and after six months, we will match your contribution up to a maximum of 8%.
• Team working: We are a small but brilliant team: we're supportive, diverse, and we help each other out. There are always opportunities to get involved in different aspects of the organisation, or lead on new initiatives.
• Training opportunities: We want to ensure that our team is continuously learning and building expertise in their field. For this reason, we offer each team member two days per year dedicated to professional development and training opportunities.
• Wellbeing - How we feel matters: Staff have access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme, and our staff Wellbeing Champions are leading on the design and delivery of our wellbeing strategy, including the review of our quarterly wellbeing survey. Staff have regular supervision sessions to encourage reflection and discussion on our work and wellbeing. Additionally, we’re excited to introduce three days a year dedicated to team-building activities. These days are an opportunity to build skills, foster connections, and recharge as a team!
• Flexible working: We're happy to consider flexible working arrangements in line with the requirements of the role.
• Working Environment: We work in a beautiful, accessible, eco-friendly co-working space with a number of other charities, with plants, a leafy roof terrace and free hot and cold drinks. With comfortable spaces to read quietly or talk in a group, our workspace is somewhere you'll want to be. 

Working location: mostly remote work with some travel required across the region. Based in the North or East of Scotland, you will deliver a face-to-face service to clients in their own home or safe meeting place, as well as providing support by Teams, phone, email or other means to suit the service user. We take a person-centred approach so the amount of travel will vary depending on your caseload at the time. You’re in control of your own diary. 

The role: This is a rewarding role where every day brings the opportunity to make a positive difference to people's lives. We regularly receive testimonials from service users describing the life-changing impact of receiving support from our caseworkers in the National Road Victim Service.

Who We Are: Brake has been supporting victims of road carnage since 1995, and we're on a mission to prevent future collisions. Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads, impacting lives profoundly.

Join Our Team: We're expanding our National Road Victim Service and need a dedicated Caseworker to join our dynamic, compassionate team. Your role will involve delivering world-class support services to those at their most vulnerable.

Why this role is important: Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads. For families affected, the emotional and practical challenges are immense. As a Caseworker, you will provide trauma-informed care to individuals and families suffering from the sudden bereavement or life-altering injury of a loved one. Working mostly remotely, with some home visits to service users, you’ll offer vital emotional and practical support—including helping them access therapeutic resources, financial assistance, and guidance through the complexities of medical and legal processes. 

What We Offer:

· A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day end of year shutdown period)

· An extra day off for your birthday to take whenever you choose

· Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave

· Death in service benefit

· Pension

· Employee Assistance Programme

· Flexible working

· Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees

Who You Are: We need passionate, self-starters with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Your experience in roles like police, criminal justice, counselling, or health and social care could make you a perfect fit.

Specifically Seeking Candidates With:

- Living in the North or East of Scotland

- a full, clean UK driving licence, access to your own transport and are willing to use it for work purposes (we reimburse travelling expenses) 

- Experience delivering frontline support, preferably involving sudden bereavement or heightened vulnerabilities. 

- Understanding of criminal justice processes (desirable but not essential)

- Research and advocacy skills

- Resilience and willingness to grow

- Competent I.T. skills for remote work

Join Our Mission: Your greatest reward will be knowing you've made a positive difference in someone's recovery from psychological trauma.

About Us: Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application whatever your background or situation. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it. So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.

Apply Now: If you're up for a new challenge and have the skills, apply now.

Not for Traffic Offenders: Due to the nature of our work we can't accept applications from serious traffic offenders. Candidates will be asked to disclose whether they have any unspent points on their licence at interview.

A DBS check is required due to the sensitive nature of our service.
