As a Befriending Coordinator, you will manage a case load of clients and volunteers and be part of a team who are dedicated to supporting those most vulnerable. 

You will have relevant experience in social care or support work, specifically working with people with mental health problems.

If you have the experience listed above and are ready for your next challenge- get in touch today!
