About the Role

This Project Officer role is part of Bright Futures, our mentoring and employability support programme for young Gypsy and Traveller people aged 15-25. You will keep the programme organised, connected and running smoothly - managing records and systems, building partnerships, and coordinating workshops and activities so that young people can find their way in and get the most out of the support on offer.

Many of the young people we work with have faced exclusion or discrimination within mainstream education, employment and other services, and are often not in education, employment or training (NEET). The processes, systems and communications you manage all need to be accessible and responsive to young people who may be wary of formal support.

You will coordinate outreach and community engagement to bring young people into the programme, build and maintain relationships with colleges, training providers, employers and community organisations, and manage day-to-day communications with young people, families and partners. You will set up and coordinate a Youth Advisory Group, giving young people a structured way to help shape the programme. You may also be asked to cover for mentee support when a mentor is unavailable or at capacity.

This role is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.

About You

This role is for someone who enjoys keeping things organised and connected, and who wants that work to make a real, practical difference in young people's lives – someone committed to supporting young people from marginalised and underserved communities to fairly access relevant opportunities.

You will be highly organised, with strong admin skills and confidence using digital tools and databases. You will also be a confident communicator, equally comfortable writing a promotional post, following up with a training provider, or having a conversation with a young person or their family.

The role is ideal for someone with experience of outreach, building partnerships or community engagement, who can build trusting relationships with a wide range of people – from young people and families to colleges, employers and community organisations. You should be open to providing support to young people when needed.

We don't expect you to already have all the answers what matters most is your admin and organisational ability, your commitment to the communities we work with, and your confidence building relationships across a wide range of people and settings. We will support your development through supervision, training and a small, collaborative team environment.

We know not everyone will meet every requirement in the job description below, but if you feel you have what it takes, please apply and tell us how your experience and skills make you suitable.

If you are not sure what the work looks like or you want to ask questions before applying, we are happy to chat with you about the role. Please contact Mini Ravi (Programme Lead) by calling on our office phone.

Irish Chaplaincy is seeking an experienced, compassionate and motivated Community Outreach and Volunteer Manager to help us extend our reach, strengthen our volunteer community and provide high-quality support to older and vulnerable Irish people across London.

For almost 70 years, Irish Chaplaincy has supported Irish immigrants and people of Irish heritage across England and Wales. Rooted in a Catholic ethos and Catholic social teaching, our work recognises the inherent dignity of every person. We take a holistic and person-centred approach, offering spiritual, emotional and practical support to people who may be isolated, vulnerable or experiencing difficult circumstances.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in a respected charity at an important point in its development. As we celebrate our 70th anniversary in 2027, you will help us reach more people in need, build a strong and well-supported volunteer network, and ensure that vulnerable members of the Irish community receive compassionate, practical and pastoral care.

This is a varied, hands-on role combining community outreach, face-to-face casework, staff supervision and volunteer management. You will lead efforts to identify and engage people who may benefit from our support, build strong referral relationships across London, and ensure our volunteers are recruited, trained and supported effectively.

You will also line manage our Community Outreach Worker and hold a small caseload of your own. This will involve visiting people in their homes, hospitals and care settings and providing pastoral care, advocacy, emotional support and practical help, including support at the end of life.

Key responsibilities

• Proactively reach older Irish people and other vulnerable members of the Irish community, particularly those who are isolated or not currently known to services.
• Build relationships with parishes, community and faith groups, Irish centres, GP surgeries, social services and other voluntary and statutory organisations.
• Provide day-to-day line management, supervision and development support to the Community Outreach Worker.
• Lead the recruitment, induction, training, deployment and ongoing support of volunteers.
• Develop clear volunteer roles and effective procedures covering safeguarding, safe recruitment and DBS checks.
• Hold a small caseload and provide face-to-face pastoral, emotional, advocacy and practical support.
• Represent Irish Chaplaincy at community events, forums and partner meetings.
• Support community development, fundraising, impact reporting and activity connected with Irish Chaplaincy's 70th anniversary in 2027.

About you

We are looking for someone with substantial recent experience in:

• Community outreach, engagement or development, particularly with older people or other vulnerable adults.
• Face-to-face support and casework, including visits to people's homes, hospitals or care settings.
• Line managing or supervising paid staff, including supporting performance, wellbeing and professional development.
• Recruiting, training, supporting and managing volunteers, while creating a positive and inclusive volunteering culture.

You will be an excellent relationship-builder with strong communication and organisational skills, a sound understanding of safeguarding, and the ability to balance outreach, management and direct support responsibilities.

You will bring a warm, respectful and person-centred approach to your work. You should also have empathy with, and a commitment to, Irish Chaplaincy's Christian ethos and pastoral mission. An understanding of Irish culture and the experiences of the Irish diaspora in Britain would be an advantage.

The role requires regular travel across London and occasional evening or weekend work. An enhanced DBS check and the right to work in the UK are required.

Irish Chaplaincy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of older and vulnerable people. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, compassionate and dedicated Community Outreach Worker to join our experienced team, supporting adults with acquired brain injuries across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

This is a varied and rewarding role, providing information, advice, guidance and practical support to individuals who may be facing significant health, social and emotional challenges following a brain injury. You will help people to identify appropriate support and work towards greater independence, confidence and wellbeing.

You will work closely with individuals, their families and carers, as well as a wide range of health, social care, public and voluntary sector organisations, helping to ensure people receive the right support at the right time.

No two days will be the same. The role involves working independently in the community and travelling throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, so flexibility and the ability to organise and manage your own workload are essential.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, a person-centred approach and the confidence to work with people in sometimes complex or sensitive circumstances.

If you are motivated by helping people rebuild their lives following brain injury and would like to be part of a supportive and committed team, we would love to hear from you.
