This is an exciting new developmental role, whose principle purpose is to recruit, engage and co-ordinate a group of local young people with the aim of enabling and empowering them to ensure their voices are heard and bring about change. This may include increasing their levels of confidence, improving their communication skills and improving their ability to self-advocate.  We envisage that the young people engaged will develop new projects and services in response to their needs and that of the local community.

Big Local SW11 along with 5 charities that make up the BLSW11 Alliance are working together for the young people of Battersea.  This role will include working across the 5 charities along with other voluntary organisations in Battersea.

Whilst ‘Battersea Youth Voice’ will be open to all young people, the Coordinator’s main role will be to target those young people that have been marginalised, deemed of as ‘hard to reach’ and who rarely have their voices heard.

The Volunteer Coordinator role is a new position at Katherine Low Settlement which has been formed as a key component of Big Local SW11's (BLSW11) three year strategy. 

Volunteering has been widely evidenced to provide a wide range of benefits improving confidence, health, sense of purpose, community belonging, expanding social networks, gaining skills and moving towards employment. This new project is about enabling, empowering and mobilising local residents to volunteer and get more involved with the local community here in Battersea.

There are 55+ local charities and community organisation’s working in Battersea. They depend on volunteers to help provide their services and govern their organisations. To meet the growing demand for these services and make the biggest difference we can with our resources, the Alliance aims to expand the number of people volunteering across Battersea with the support of a new post of Volunteer Co-ordinator. 

Key Objectives of the Role

• Develop and expand volunteering engagement across Battersea to assist in the pursuit of the BLSW11 Alliance’s vision, mission, values and objectives. 
• Develop and implement yearly volunteering delivery plans with the Alliance; review, monitor and report on progress.
• Ensure a consistent and high standard of volunteering engagement and support across Battersea.  
• Ensure effective knowledge collection and feedback systems are in place to monitor the quality and effectiveness of volunteer engagement in Battersea.  

Note: The Alliance has been formed by the Big Local SW11 (which is an independent, resident-led group that has been awarded £1m over 10 years to invest in projects that improve opportunities for local people and strengthen our community) to help deliver its own strategy of building a stronger, more self-reliant Battersea.
