The Young People’s Volunteer Coordinator is an exciting new post at Barnsley CVS funded through Great Childhood Ambitions (GCA). The five strategic priorities for GCA are: Belong / Explore / Dream / Grow / Connect.
The under Youth Volunteer Programme will support these priorities by working with young people to:
· belong in their communities,
· explore volunteer opportunities,
· dream about their futures and be work ready,
· grow in confidence and experience to support their wellbeing,
· connect within their communities and reduce barriers to accessing support.
Your role will be key to enabling this to happen. You will act as the key connector between young people and charities. This will involve working with opportunities that already exist, as well as encouraging, mentoring and training charities to provide tailored volunteering for young people. You will also provide 1-1 support to young people already actively looking together with reaching out to communities such as children in care, UASC’s, those with SEND needs and communities who may not naturally consider volunteering. Volunteering gives young people a chance to learn new skills, enhance their CV, learn about the workplace, meet new people, improve their confidence and expand their horizon. Some young people may naturally consider this, whereas others, may not have this opportunity presented to them. This role is intended to address some of the barriers and support young people into fulfilling volunteer roles. You will be a champion in Barnsley for raising the profile of young volunteering and the value it brings to our communities.
You will need a passion for volunteering and young people, creativity and energy to work with young people and the ability to communicate with a diverse range of people in both a written and spoken context.
