65 Volunteer coordinator jobs in Central London, Greater London

About KEEN

KEEN London delivers inclusive sport, physical activity and creative sessions for children and young people with SEND across East, South and North London. Every week, our athletes are supported one-to-one by a community of dedicated volunteer coaches, in sessions where every child can play, take part and thrive in their own way. The difference is real. Last year we delivered around 4,000 hours of one-to-one support, and 90% of athletes with tracked goals are showing progress, from emerging steps through to goals achieved. We currently support 85 athletes, with room to grow.

We're a small, close-knit team with a big reach. Everyone here plays a real part in the difference we make.
