Frazzled is a mental health and wellbeing charity founded by Ruby Wax OBE. We provide free, facilitated peer support meetings for people feeling overwhelmed by the stresses of modern life.

Our online and face-to-face meetings offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where people can share openly, listen to others and feel heard. Everything we do is underpinned by high-quality volunteer facilitation, thoughtful training and a supportive community.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for an organised, compassionate and proactive Programme Coordinator to help deliver and develop our programme of peer support meetings, while ensuring our volunteers feel confident, supported and connected.

Purpose of the role

The Programme Coordinator is responsible for the day-to-day coordination of Frazzled's online and face-to-face peer support programme.

Working closely with the Head of Programmes, you'll oversee Frazzled’s meeting schedules, recruit and support volunteer facilitators, coordinate training and onboarding, carry out regular observations and contribute to the continuous improvement of our programme. You'll play a key role in ensuring our services are delivered safely, consistently and in line with the Frazzled model.

This is a varied hands-on role that combines excellent organisation with relationship building, volunteer development and continuous improvement. You'll be equally comfortable organising complex schedules, supporting volunteers through challenging situations and contributing ideas that help our programmes continue to grow while staying true to what makes Frazzled unique.

Frazzled runs meetings from early morning until late evening, seven days a week. As a core part of this role involves observing and supporting facilitators as issues arise, some evening and weekend work will therefore be required as well as regular travel to our face-to-face sites across England.

We ask that you do not use AI to assist you in writing your application, as this role involves lots of written and verbal communication with stakeholders and we want to hear your authentic voice, rather than the same response multiple times.

• Carry out regular facilitator observations, both online and in person, providing thoughtful and constructive feedback.

• Support volunteers to develop their confidence, skills and understanding of the Frazzled model.

• Help develop resources, guidance and processes that support volunteers and improve programme delivery.

• Contribute ideas for new initiatives, projects and ways of working as Frazzled continues to grow.

Team Contribution

• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation to deliver high-quality programmes.

Breaking Barriers exists to support refugees and people from forced migration backgrounds into meaningful employment.

The Client Caseworker is integral to delivering that mission. Acting as a client’s primary point of support, you will lead and coordinate their progression toward employment — whether through language development, requalification, training or direct employability support.

This role requires someone who can take ownership of client journeys, drive forward action plans, and deliver both one-to-one and group-based support that moves clients closer to work. Caseworkers  may initially focus more heavily on one pathway area, but the role is designed to provide integrated, cross-programme support over time.

Collaboration across programme teams is essential to ensure clients experience seamless, joined-up services and consistent progression.  Your contributions are valued, and you can make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

Key responsibilities:

1. Client casework and support

  • Professional requalification and accreditation routes
  • English language progression
  • Sector-specific training or volunteering
• Deliver group sessions to help clients build knowledge and skills in a supportive peer-learning environment.
• Maintain regular contact to monitor progress, adjust support and maintain accountability.
• Identify and address barriers to progression, advocating where appropriate.
• Safeguard clients appropriately and escalate concerns in line with policy.
• Refer and signpost to additional support services where required.

2. Stakeholder and volunteer engagement

• Engage with stakeholders and partners to develop networks and identify job, training, education and work experience opportunities for clients.
• Support outreach initiatives by developing and maintaining relationships with partners (e.g. referral partners, training providers, employers and professional bodies)
• Advocate on behalf of clients to address specific barriers to employment or accreditation.
• Collaborate with colleagues responsible for employer and partner engagement to match clients to appropriate opportunities.
• Liaise with volunteers to source additional expertise and mentoring opportunities for clients.
• Represent Breaking Barriers at occasional events or meetings as required.

3. Monitoring, Reporting & Administration

• Maintain accurate, timely and detailed client records on the CRM system.
• Track and report on client progression against agreed milestones and KPIs.
• Ensure documentation and evidence are completed in line with reporting requirements.
• Complete enrolment and administrative processes efficiently.
• Support monitoring and evaluation processes to inform service improvement.

4. Cross-Organisational Collaboration & Integrated Working

• Work closely with colleagues across all functions to ensure seamless client journeys, aligning support, avoiding duplication and maintaining clarity of progression plans.
• Share knowledge of sector pathways, labour market developments and client trends to inform service development and team learning.
• Contribute to service development as the service redesign evolves. 
• Participate actively in team meetings, case reviews, reflective practice sessions, appraisals and inductions, contributing to strong team relationships and continuous service improvement.
• Take advantage of training and development opportunities to build new skills and share knowledge across teams.
• Foster a collaborative, solution-focused team culture.
