About SAW

Shieldfield Art Works (SAW) is a project of the Methodist Church in Newcastle upon Tyne which is seeking the good of the city through creative practice. We are a team of artists who support others to be creative, and use our creativity to support others. We believe that the arts help us to articulate what it is to be human and that arts participation enables joy and flourishing in unique and unexpected ways. We are blessed with a gallery, workshop room and garden on our site in Shieldfield and so try to organise ways for these assets to be a blessing to our local community.

As a Christian organisation we believe each and every person has inherent worth, bearing the image of our creator. This motivates us to listen to and seek out those whose stories may not be being heard, so that we may better understand and love those around us.

We are particularly committed to our area of Newcastle, Shieldfield, just east of the city centre. We devise and commission art projects that tell Shieldfield’s story, and consider how stories from our local area relate to life outside of Shieldfield. In attempting to reflect a God who is interested in all areas of life, we are interested in the micro to the macro – art that speaks truths about the human condition, to art which speaks to the condition of our planet, and everything in between.

Our site in Shieldfield comprises a gallery, workshop room and community garden, from which we run:

• Four sessions of Painting for Fun each week

• Twice monthly Craft Action Collective sessions

• Gardening sessions (Shieldfield Grows) every week, with a pause in winter

• SAW Reflects events which provide time and space for deep thinking and conversation

• A programme of exhibitions in our gallery that changes throughout the year

• Our community garden is open to visitors all year round.

We’re looking for a dynamic and motivated Volunteer Coordinator to lead and support our volunteers during our final year.

This role is perfect for someone who understands volunteering from the inside, whether as a volunteer themselves or through close involvement, and knows what volunteers need to feel confident, valued, and effective. 

You don’t need formal management experience. What matters most is that you’re a self-starter, a great communicator, and passionate about enabling people to contribute their time and skills to improve local health and care services. 

This is a unique opportunity to play a central role in Healthwatch Wakefield’s final year and to support volunteers to make a real difference to local people’s lives. You’ll be trusted to shape the role, bring ideas, and leave a meaningful legacy. 

We’re more interested in your potential, values, and understanding of volunteering than a lengthy CV. As we enter our final year, we’re less concerned with formal titles and more interested in people who bring heart, insight, and commitment. If that sounds like you, we want you to apply. 

The deadline to apply is Tuesday 10 February 2026 but we may close this opportunity earlier if we receive enough suitable candidates.

Benefits include hybrid and flexible working, 28 days holiday per annum not including Bank Holidays (pro rata), 5% employer pension contribution, access to mental health and wellbeing support through our employee assistance programme, and training and development opportunities.
