Do you love building relationships, bringing people together and helping young people thrive? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

At The King’s Trust, we believe every young person should have the chance to succeed. In this role, you'll play a key part in making that happen by supporting the incredible partners and volunteers who help bring our programmes to life.

No two days are quite the same, as one day you could be welcoming and training a new delivery partner, the next you might be visiting a school, supporting a volunteer event, solving a tricky challenge, or celebrating the achievements of young people who have grown in confidence and realised what they're capable of.

You'll be the friendly face and trusted contact for our education delivery partners across Wrexham and the surrounding areas, helping them deliver our Achieve programme with confidence and impact. From providing training and resources to sharing best practice and offering guidance, you'll ensure our partners have everything they need to create outstanding experiences for young people.

You'll also be a support for our volunteers. Whether you're helping someone find the perfect opportunity, supporting them throughout their volunteering journey, or ensuring they have the training and resources they need, you'll play a big part in creating an exceptional volunteer experience. After all, great volunteers can change lives, and you'll help make those connections happen.

Of course, every role comes with a bit of admin! You'll keep records accurate and up to date, track activity through our CRM systems, and make sure we're meeting funding, safeguarding and compliance requirements. Your attention to detail will help ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, allowing our programmes to shine.

We're also looking for someone who enjoys bringing people together. You might facilitate networking sessions, encourage the sharing of ideas and best practice, help organise celebrations and end-of-programme events, or occasionally step in to support the delivery of sessions with young people.

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and full of initiative, with excellent communication and relationship-building skills. You'll enjoy working with a wide range of people, from teachers and delivery partners to volunteers and young people themselves. An understanding of the education sector would be helpful, but most importantly, you'll be passionate about supporting others and making a difference.

If you're someone who can juggle priorities, solve problems with a smile, build strong relationships and keep things moving forward (even when the unexpected pops up), then this could be the perfect role for you.

Join us and help create opportunities, build confidence and support young people to achieve their potential. Every conversation, connection and partnership you build could be the start of a life-changing journey.

Volunteering Matters  

Who we are

At Volunteering Matters, we believe people have the power to create change. Whether through volunteering by helping others and giving time, or through social action such as speaking up, campaigning, or leading change, everyone can make a difference. We bring people together to build stronger communities across England, Scotland and Wales, making sure everyone has the chance to get involved and create real change.

Creating stronger communities through the power of volunteering

Volunteering Matters is a nationwide charity that exists to create stronger communities through the power of volunteering. We work with local partners to develop impactful programmes that support individuals and communities across the UK.

Since 1962, we’ve used our influence to champion volunteering as a powerful tool to build a thriving, resilient society. Our projects are co-created with the people and communities we work alongside: an approach that encourages our participants to become future volunteers and leaders, not just beneficiaries.

We understand the pressures of day-to-day life and create flexible, inclusive opportunities for people at all stages of life. And beyond delivering projects on the ground, we use our voice to shape policy and practice – ensuring volunteering stays recognised, supported and sustainable for generations to come.

What we do
We help people of all ages and backgrounds get involved in volunteering and social action. We focus on making sure that everyone, no matter their situation, has the chance to take part. We work with local people.

How we do this

We support people to share their time and skills to help others and tackle big challenges in their communities.

· We remove barriers to volunteering and social action, making it easier for people who don’t always get the chance to take part.

· We listen to and amplify voices that aren’t always heard, helping volunteers and communities influence change.

· We help volunteers beyond their first experience, offering training, support, and pathways to new opportunities.

· We connect businesses with communities, creating meaningful employee volunteering projects.

· We show the impact of volunteering and social action, proving how it changes lives for the better.

Role Purpose
We are looking to recruit a talented, dynamic and professional Engagement Manager to join our team. In this role, you will lead all aspects of the Flintshire Befrienders project. 
Flintshire Befrienders is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and supports older people experiencing social isolation and loneliness.  Our team of Volunteer Befrienders provide companionship, help to build confidence, and encourage engagement in the local community.  The project consists of:

· One-to-one befriending in a person’s home, or over the telephone

· Community buddying – support to attend local community groups and events

· Volunteer-led events – activities that older people can engage in, based on their interests

The right candidate would be someone with experience of supporting and managing volunteers, working with older people facing isolation and loneliness, as well as someone who can work flexibly and demonstrate a commitment to our organisational values.

• Respectful: We are respectful of all those we interact with. We treat everyone – our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, partners and people we disagree with – with the same respect, professionalism and understanding.
