You’ll work alongside residents to create a sense of safety and possibility, supporting them to feel more in control of their lives and their choices.

Working within supported accommodation, you’ll support people to build everyday skills, strengthen wellbeing and reconnect with opportunities that matter to them - whether that’s housing, health, learning, work or community life.

Collaboration sits at the heart of the role: with residents, colleagues and partner services, all working together to create meaningful and lasting progress.

This role is for someone who believes in people and is ready to show up with curiosity, compassion and purpose. You’ll join a reflective, supportive team that values initiative, learning and shared responsibility. If you want a role where your work has real impact, where relationships matter and where you can help people move beyond survival towards independence and hope, apply now and bring your tenacity, care and ambition with you.

About you:

• You take a person-centred approach to your work, building trust and working alongside people to shape support that reflects their goals and priorities.
• You’re confident managing a small caseload, using assessment and good judgement to understand needs, risks and progress over time.
• You communicate clearly and work well with others, building strong relationships with colleagues and partner services to achieve the best outcomes.

Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator - Mental Health to play a pivotal role in our Volunteering Service in London

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As a Volunteer Coordinator with Hestia's vibrant and supportive Volunteering Team, you'll play a key part in creating meaningful opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen our communities. You'll recruit, train, and inspire volunteers who work alongside people experiencing severe mental health challenges across our drop‑in community and crisis services. With collaboration, creativity, and empowerment at the heart of everything we do, you'll shape safe, inclusive, and uplifting environments that help individuals build confidence, improve wellbeing, and reduce social isolation. Working closely with colleagues across Hestia, you'll ensure volunteers feel valued, and service users receive tailored support, and every project delivers real impact.

In this role, you'll take a proactive lead in shaping high‑quality volunteer involvement across our mental health services. Working closely with the Area Manager, Service Managers, NHS Trust partners and Experts by Experience, you'll identify emerging needs and design volunteer roles that genuinely enhance clinical and support pathways. You'll champion a whole‑person approach supporting physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing, while inspiring staff teams to think creatively about how volunteers can add meaningful value.

We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

This role calls for someone with exceptional organisational and project‑management abilities, capable of guiding and empowering volunteers, colleagues and service users with professionalism, warmth and confidence; someone who brings strong interpersonal skills, the ability to build trusting relationships across diverse communities and partner organisations, and a sensitive awareness of the cultural, social and health issues affecting people who use our mental health services. You'll need solid IT proficiency across Microsoft Office, strong literacy and numeracy, a thoughtful approach to evaluation, and a clear understanding of safeguarding principles, along with the confidence to address concerns appropriately. While experience supervising volunteers is an advantage, what truly matters is your ability to engage people in a friendly, supportive manner and create an environment where volunteers feel valued, informed and able to thrive.

This is a hybrid role with three days spent on site across our London services, including regular visits to our Aldgate head office, and two days worked remotely each week.
