Right now, we are looking for a Volunteer Coordinator - Mental Health to play a pivotal role in our Volunteering Service in London

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As a Volunteer Coordinator with Hestia's vibrant and supportive Volunteering Team, you'll play a key part in creating meaningful opportunities that empower individuals and strengthen our communities. You'll recruit, train, and inspire volunteers who work alongside people experiencing severe mental health challenges across our drop‑in community and crisis services. With collaboration, creativity, and empowerment at the heart of everything we do, you'll shape safe, inclusive, and uplifting environments that help individuals build confidence, improve wellbeing, and reduce social isolation. Working closely with colleagues across Hestia, you'll ensure volunteers feel valued, and service users receive tailored support, and every project delivers real impact.

In this role, you'll take a proactive lead in shaping high‑quality volunteer involvement across our mental health services. Working closely with the Area Manager, Service Managers, NHS Trust partners and Experts by Experience, you'll identify emerging needs and design volunteer roles that genuinely enhance clinical and support pathways. You'll champion a whole‑person approach supporting physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing, while inspiring staff teams to think creatively about how volunteers can add meaningful value. From recruiting and training volunteers to delivering befriending and activity programmes, to supervising their day‑to‑day involvement, you'll ensure every volunteer feels confident, supported and aligned with service priorities. You'll build strong relationships across Hestia, particularly within our crisis alternative services, and offer expert guidance to colleagues to ensure best practice. With responsibility for maintaining accurate records and contributing to the smooth running of the Volunteering Programme, you'll play a vital role in ensuring our services remain responsive, compassionate and impactful. If you're passionate about people, community, and making a difference, this role offers the chance to lead with purpose and help others move toward independence and hope.

You'll need solid IT proficiency across Microsoft Office, strong literacy and numeracy, a thoughtful approach to evaluation, and a clear understanding of safeguarding principles, along with the confidence to address concerns appropriately. While experience supervising volunteers is an advantage, what truly matters is your ability to engage people in a friendly, supportive manner and create an environment where volunteers feel valued, informed and able to thrive.
