You’ll spot where volunteers can make the biggest impact and support colleagues to put new approaches into practice with confidence.

• The position requires travel across England and Wales, where you will enjoy meeting volunteers, having a presence at events, delivering talks, and being a go to contact for volunteers to learn about the charity and feel supported. Therefore, the ability to travel is essential (it is seasonal, but can be weekly at most).
• Flexibility is needed - Out of hours work is often needed on weekends, and evenings.
• In return the charity provides a flexible, understanding, supporting working environment, TOIL and flexibility in work hours in the working week.

As leading charity recruitment specialists and a certified B Corp™, Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and other protected characteristics.

This job is all about working with the local third and public sector to engage with local people to create change. To make this happen, the role has three key bits to it:

• listening to what local people want (gathering the insights);
• building a vision for a ‘better way of doing things’ (planning to make change); and
• getting stuck into supporting our clients and wider team to make things happen (doing the stuff we’ve planned).

Each day you’ll be shaping and delivering Capacity’s current and future projects, managing expectations, excitement, and priorities - keeping a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Even on the busiest of days, our Designers and Doers remind themselves why they’re in it, finding the get-up and go to make public services, people services.

Alongside delivery, you’ll contribute to business development, client relationships, and the continued evolution of our Homes and Missions model.

The to-do lists you write and the skillsets you engage will vary hugely, one day you might be working on recruitment strategies for social workers, the next on service design for family early help, and another strategy planning for a primary care team. When job descriptions say ‘no day is the same’ that can often feel twee, at Capacity - it’s a promise.

You’ll spend your time being proactive - delivering on our promises to clients and local people, whilst staying ready to catch any ‘off-project’ work that might need sorting along the way. You’ll support us to get new clients on board but also play a key role in further engaging our existing ones, making sure they continue to feel connected to Capacity and proud to be involved in the work we’re doing.

The projects we deliver are often complex, and things won’t always work out. For that reason, you’ll be open and honest about what’s working, what isn’t and where you might need extra support. If you’re considering this role it’s really important you aren’t afraid of making mistakes or asking for help.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team in a role that sits at the heart of everything we do, providing hands-on, high-quality and proactive support across communications, events and operations for the Capacity Group.

You’ll spend your time making things happen. The to-do lists you’ll write and the skillsets you engage will vary greatly. Whether it’s coordinating one of our events, scheduling social media content, keeping our CRM system up-to-date or planning a brilliant staff social for the team, you’ll be the kind of person who spots what needs doing and gets on with it.

We’re looking for someone with a genuine can-do attitude, a team player who thrives on variety, keeps calm under pressure, and relishes completing tasks to a high standard while meeting deadlines. You’ll muck in wherever you’re needed, bringing organisational nous and a spring in your step even on the busiest of days.

Our ideal candidate will be a people person, happy to get stuck in, confident building relationships across the team and with external partners, and excited by the idea that no two days will look the same – because at Capacity, they won’t.

It’s a role with variety and scope to develop as Capacity grows, ideal for someone who wants to grow alongside us.

About the Role

The Barnardo's Co-op Partnership is an exciting and innovative programme aiming to support more than one million young people to build positive futures.

Our Sedgemoor for our Future service is co-designed with young people and centred around a welcoming, inclusive youth space where young people can feel safe, connected, and empowered to take part in meaningful experiences.

Using a youth work approach, we support young people to:

• Build positive relationships and develop a strong sense of belonging
• Grow in confidence, resilience, and self-esteem
• Take part in a wide range of activities, including creative, practical, and food-based sessions
• Explore issues that matter to them and have their voices heard
• Develop teamwork, communication, and essential life skills for the future

Session Details

You must be available to lead the following weekly sessions:

• Tuesdays – Highbridge, 4:30pm–6:00pm
• Wednesdays – Bridgwater, 4:30pm–6:00pm

As part of your role, you will plan and deliver engaging, youth-led sessions in a variety of settings, including community venues and schools. You will build trusted relationships with young people, create inclusive spaces that meet diverse needs, and support them to achieve positive outcomes.

You will also contribute to community engagement, develop creative approaches to reaching young people across Sedgemoor, and support ongoing evaluation through reflective practice and outcome recording.

What We're Looking For

• Strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection procedures, with experience applying this in practice
• Excellent listening and communication skills with a diverse range of children, young people and families
• Creativity and confidence in designing inclusive workshops and group sessions

Pay & Reward Framework

We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values.  We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people. 

For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay. 

Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours.  More details on Barnardo's pay framework can be found upon application.
