Volunteering Matters
Everyone in the UK should have the opportunity to thrive. So we bring people together to overcome some of society’s most complex issues through the power of volunteering.
We partner with communities to overcome adversity, tackling social isolation and loneliness, improving health, developing skills and opportunities and making sure young people can lead change. And because we’re a national charity, we do this at scale, sharing our expertise and building partnerships to make an even bigger impact.
We turn local knowledge and energy into action and progress, building stronger communities and a better future for all.
Equip
Some young people, for whatever reason, may not have the skills to ensure they can navigate a route into higher education or into training and the employment market. We believe all young people are capable of being in higher education, employment or training if they wish to be, but we also know that some need a helping hand to achieve this. This is where Equip Mentoring comes in.
Equip Mentoring is delivered by Volunteering Matters across Suffolk. The project works closely with local educational establishments to equip young people with the tools they need to re-engage with education and make informed decisions about their future career prospects and pathways.
Role Purpose
To develop and deliver all aspects of our Equip project in Suffolk, ensuring it achieves its aims, objectives, outcomes, and targets. The post holder will work closely with the Suffolk County Council, other youth agencies and local volunteers to ensure that we improve and empower the lives of young people aged 18-25 who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) or at risk of becoming NEET through the unique power of mentoring.
