Job description

Help tackle loneliness among older people in care homes

Thousands of older people living in care homes receive few or no visitors. Friends for Life Bedford exists to change that.

Through our befriending and group activities, we bring companionship, connection and meaningful relationships to care home residents across Bedfordshire.

We are now looking for an Administrator to ensure our volunteer services run smoothly, safely and efficiently — enabling more residents to receive the support they need.

 

About Friends for Life Bedfordshire

We are a Bedford-based charity working to address the social isolation of older residents in Bedfordshire’s care homes.

Founded in 2007, we have grown from a small local initiative to a registered charity with c90 volunteers supporting more than 30 care homes across Bedford Borough. In the last year, over 1,100 care home residents received our services.

The Role

You will take ownership of the charity’s core volunteer administration processes, ensuring they are efficient, accurate and fully compliant with safeguarding and data protection requirements.

This is a critical operational role. Delays or inaccuracies in volunteer administration directly impact how quickly we can onboard volunteers and support care home residents.

You will manage recruitment administration, DBS and compliance tracking, and key data systems, while producing reports that help the organisation understand and improve its impact.

This role is suited to someone who is highly organised, comfortable working with data and systems, and confident operating in a compliance-focused environment.

Key Responsibilities

Volunteer Administration & Onboarding

  • Manage the end-to-end administration of volunteer recruitment
  • Issue registration forms, respond to enquiries and proactively follow up with applicants
  • Obtain references and coordinate DBS checks in line with safeguarding requirements
  • Ensure volunteers progress efficiently through the recruitment process

Volunteer Induction & Compliance

  • Arrange and administer volunteer induction (“Welcome Day”) sessions, including logistics and materials
  • Book volunteers onto induction once all checks are complete
  • Monitor DBS renewal dates and co-ordinate refresher checks to ensure no active volunteer is without a current DBS certificate.

Data, Systems & Reporting

  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date volunteer and service records in line with GDPR
  • Manage and develop online forms (e.g. JotForms) to support data collection and processes
  • Analyse data and produce regular reports to support monitoring, evaluation and funding requirements
  • Provide reports and insights to support decision-making by the Board of Trustees

General Administration

  • Maintain records such as ID badges, training and safeguarding documentation
  • Support communication and coordination between volunteers, care homes and staff
  • Provide administrative support across the organisation as required
  • Support the production and distribution of newsletters and other communications to homes and volunteers

About You

We are looking for someone who is organised, detail-focused and takes ownership of their work.

You will likely bring:

  • Strong administrative experience, ideally within a compliance-heavy or regulated environment
  • Excellent attention to detail, particularly when handling sensitive or confidential data
  • Experience managing databases and maintaining accurate records
  • Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Excel and online systems
  • Confidence analysing data and producing clear, accurate reports
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively
  • Good written communication skills
  • A clear understanding of confidentiality, GDPR and data protection principles

This role may particularly suit someone who:

  • Wants a flexible, meaningful part-time role
  • Enjoys structured, process-driven work with clear ownership
  • Is confident working with data, systems and compliance requirements
  • Thrives in a small organisation where they can take initiative and responsibility

 

What We Offer

  • £13.91 per hour (£13,018 per year for 18 hours a week)
  • Employer Pension
  • Flexible and Hybrid working
  • A supportive and passionate team of staff, volunteers and trustees
  • The chance to transform the lives of care home residents every single week

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and a short covering statement outlining how your experience aligns with the position.

Selection will be via an interview.

Please note that applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be able to evidence this prior to interview.

Finally, the role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check.
