Are you a kind, caring and compassionate individual who has a wonderful way of communicating with others within the local community - with the ability and enthusiasm to find out what support is needed?

An exciting opportunity to join our new volunteer service to help shape its future growth  – and we want you to apply!

We are searching for a new Volunteer Coordinator to join our small, friendly team in recruiting, managing, and matching volunteers to help us in our mission – supporting unpaid Carers to have vital respite from their caring roles.

The role is full time 37 hours a week, Monday to Friday, and you will be working alongside our colleagues across Crossroads Care Kent - from our Care Managers to Project Managers for Young Carers and Dementia Outreach.

As well as recruitment skills, the right person for this team will have plenty of common sense and be able to provide a listening ear, supporting people to access the holistic help they need at difficult times.

The role is based in our Wateringbury office, but travel will be required in Kent to visit families, meet and interview volunteers and attend events - so a full driving licence and use of own car is essential. 

As well as this exciting and rewarding role in a lovely team we offer a competitive salary, contributory pension scheme, great support and development, 28 days holiday pro rata increasing with service, enhanced sick pay and on-site parking.

The Belay Foundation supports adoptive, kinship and special guardianship families raising children who have experienced early developmental trauma, often alongside neurodiversity. Founded in 2020 from lived experience, Belay offers something many families struggle to find elsewhere: practical, in-home support and expert guidance that’s genuinely trauma-responsive, delivered by people who understand what these families are living through.

This is an exciting opportunity to join us at a pivotal stage in our development. Over the past year, we have strengthened our services, systems and organisational foundations and developed ambitious plans for the future. As we continue to grow our reach and impact, we're looking for a Services Manager to organise and deliver our services such as guidance on trauma responsive respite and disability benefit expertise to our families.

Working closely with our Services Director, you'll use your lived or professional experience of our adoptive and kinship families to develop and deliver valued, practical and trauma-responsive support to families across England and Wales. This is key role, working directly with parents and carers, and an opportunity to really make a difference in our families’ lives.

This is a home-based role for two days per week (0.4 FTE), offering flexibility alongside the opportunity to shape a growing national charity. There may be potential to increase the hours over time, subject to funding, making this an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to grow with the organisation. This is a home‑based role, but applicants must be permanently based, and have the right to work, in the United Kingdom. For legal, tax, and operational reasons, we cannot consider applications from outside the UK.

If you're someone passionate about making a difference to adoptive and kinship families with the experience of delivering family support, we'd love to hear from you.

Please see the Candidate Application Pack for further details, including the full job description, candidate requirements and the application/ interview process. Please note that we reserve the right to close applications one week early should we receive a very high number of candidates.
