The Student Volunteering & Social Impact Coordinator leads the coordination of London Play Design’s Student Volunteering Programme, working closely with delivery/ Technical teams, partnerships staff and senior management.
This role focuses on connecting people, projects and learning, rather than carrying sole responsibility for delivery. The post-holder coordinates systems, supports students and ensures quality, while working as part of a wider team.
The role is designed to be manageable, collaborative and sustainable, with clear shared ownership of outputs.
The role operates across two interconnected strands:
Student learning, insight and impact
Supporting students to understand the social impact of London Play Design’s work, contribute to evaluation and learning, and help strengthen partnerships through the development of case studies and programme insights.
Practical delivery and capacity-building
Connecting students with hands-on opportunities that build their practical experience while supporting the delivery of corporate volunteer days, construction activity and community projects.

On-site supervision and safeguarding are led by delivery staff. You will not be expected to supervise students independently on live sites.

You will coordinate and quality-check student-led research and impact work, rather than producing it yourself.
Your role will be to:
- Support students to collect qualitative and quantitative data
- Guide students in drafting case studies, learning notes and impact stories
- Review work, give feedback and ensure clarity and consistency
- Coordinate publication processes alongside the Partnerships team or delegated student roles
- Share learning internally to support organisational development
- Supporting funding applications and reporting with structured evidence and insights
You will not be responsible for writing funding applications or producing full reports independently.
3. Connect Students to Live Projects
You will work with internal teams to place students on appropriate projects for learning and case-study purposes, and support volunteer days and construction delivery
This includes:
- Matching students to projects and departments
- Liaising with technical and Partnership teams to support access and information
- Connecting students with partner charities where appropriate
- Keeping student case-study activity on track
- Working with the technical team to align student support with project needs
- Balancing learning needs with delivery realities
4. Maintain University Partnerships
London Play Design already has established relationships with a small number of universities (typically 2–3).
You will:
- Maintain communication with university contacts
- Represent the organisation at a small number of events or talks each year (approx. 3–4)
- Support the ongoing development of placement and volunteering opportunities.
5. Support Communications & Storytelling (Shared Responsibility)
Working with student volunteers and the Partnerships team, you will support:
- Clear and accessible communication of London Play Design’s work
- Impact storytelling for websites, publications and social media
- Sharing community learning and project outcomes
You will not be the sole content producer or final editor for all communications.
How You’ll Work
- As part of a collaborative, supportive team
- By coordinating and enabling others, not doing everything yourself
- With delegated student roles supporting research, writing, construction support and communications
- With senior and partnership staff sharing strategic and reporting responsibilities

Why Access Social Care Exists
Every day millions of older and disabled people are denied the social care they need. Most local authorities can’t meet the growing demand for care, and none are confident they can meet their legal duties in the future. This affects all of us - we will all need care at some point in our lives.
We all have a right to hold public bodies to account, but most of us cannot afford lawyers so rely on legal aid. The 92% drop in legal aid cases since 2010 means that we have nowhere to turn. Without access to justice, our rights do not exist.
What we do
Access Social Care (‘ASC’) provides legal advice and information for people with social care needs, helping achieve a better quality of life. We work with communities to increase knowledge of the law and our rights. We highlight the gap left by cuts to Legal Aid and provide advice for those who can’t afford it.
Our network of lawyers and caseworkers provide access to justice when things go wrong. We collaborate with social services whilst ensuring legal obligations are met. We are working towards a future where social care is adequately funded, and we all get the support we need.
We provide rights awareness training to front line managers, and legal advice and casework support to families and individuals. As well as providing access to justice, our aim is to drive system level change through evidence-led influencing and strategic casework.
This is an exciting time to join ASC. We have a new strategy. We are dedicated to the people who need our help, and we care deeply about our team. We think that work should be an exciting and satisfying place to be.
