Programme Coordinator: Volunteering for Health

The main goal of this project is to get more people volunteering in local health services and community groups across West Essex and to make sure those volunteer roles stick around. This is a great chance to build on the huge community spirit and increase in health and care volunteering we saw during the pandemic.

What You'll Do:

• You'll help coordinate and run the project day-to-day in West Essex, working with the voluntary sector and NHS voluntary services.
• You'll be a key person who talks to and connects with different groups in the community, especially those who haven't volunteered much before.
• Your work will focus on supporting and growing the number of volunteers.

Who We're Looking For:

• Someone with experience in managing projects or working with the public (this could be in health, social care, or with charities/community groups).
• Someone who is good at engaging with a diverse range of people.

About the Team:

This role is part of a larger Volunteering for Health team that works across the wider area (Herts & West Essex). You will be supported by a Programme Lead and work alongside other Programme Coordinators based in different towns like Hertford, Hatfield, and Watford.

This programme is funded by the NHS until June 2027.
