· Assist with Linkworking Project support, such as supporting volunteers in signing up for the SLaM Involvement Register, arranging an induction with Hear Us and introducing peer support Linkworkers to wards and services.

· In the absence of the Peer Support Coordinator, organise and manage the peer support Linkworking rota, finding cover where necessary, ensuring as few sessions are cancelled as possible.

· Actively oppose discrimination against people who experience mental distress in Croydon in line with the Hear Us diversity and inclusion and recruitment policies

· Adhere to all Hear Us policies and procedures in all aspects of their work (including safeguarding, equity, inclusion & diversity, health & safety and confidentiality)

Are you an organised, proactive, and people-focused individual with a positive, can-do attitude? Do you enjoy motivating others and delivering engaging training? We’re looking for a Volunteer Coordinator & Trainer to play a key role in supporting and developing our volunteer community.

While prior experience working directly with volunteers is beneficial, it’s not essential. What matters most is your enthusiasm, strong organisational skills, and willingness to roll up your sleeves and get involved in a varied and rewarding role.

About Us

The Life Chance Trust is a South Devon-based charity transforming the futures of young people aged 16–25 who have experienced trauma, adversity, or disrupted education. Through mentoring, life skills development, and community engagement, we empower young people to build resilience, achieve their goals, and thrive.

The Role

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Volunteer Coordinator & Trainer to recruit, train, and support a growing team of volunteer mentors. This role combines coordination, training delivery, and hands-on involvement in our programmes, offering a unique opportunity to shape and strengthen the volunteer experience within a young and evolving charity.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the full volunteer recruitment process, ensuring safer recruitment best practice throughout.
• Design, develop, and deliver engaging training, supervision, and an ongoing CPD programme for volunteers.

• Conduct two volunteer feedback surveys annually, capturing insights to inform learning and improvement.
• Support the delivery of Life Skills Workshops on topics such as wellbeing, cooking, budgeting, and employability.
• Network across Devon to raise awareness of the charity and attract new volunteers.
• Build strong relationships with partners and represent The Life Chance Trust within the community.

What We Offer

• A warm, friendly, and supportive working environment
• Competitive salary and pension scheme
• Regular supervision and opportunities for professional development

Safeguarding & Inclusion

This role is subject to an enhanced DBS check. We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and warmly welcome applications from all backgrounds.

We are looking for a proactive and people-focused fundraiser to join our ambitious team as Community Fundraising and Partnerships Officer. This is a pivotal role where you will:
