9 Recruitment and talent coordinator jobs in Enfield, Greater London

At Hestia, we are guided by our core values and are dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive organisation. Our mission is to empower individuals to rebuild their lives and achieve independence. Right now, we are looking for an Engagement Coordinator to play a pivotal role in our Volunteering Service at our London head office.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As an Engagement Coordinator, you will coordinate and develop a diverse programme of volunteer-led activities, including Hestia's choir and online groups, workshops, and learning opportunities, to enhance wellbeing, social connection, and engagement for service users. You will organise schedules, events, communications, and logistics, while supporting volunteers to deliver safe, inclusive, and high-quality sessions. Working closely with staff, service users, and external partners, you will encourage participation, gather feedback, and use outcomes data to drive continuous improvement. You will also recruit, train, supervise, and support volunteers, maintain accurate records and reports, promote volunteering opportunities, build positive relationships across the organisation, and contribute to the ongoing success and development of volunteering programmes.

What do I need to bring with me?

You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires as well as match our values and mission. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. We also value lived experience of the areas we support, so if you feel comfortable, please do mention this on your application.

In this role, you will need excellent organisational and project management skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple activities, priorities, and stakeholders effectively. You will be confident in providing professional, supportive, and empowering guidance to volunteers, service users, and colleagues, while building positive relationships through a warm and approachable manner. Experience supervising volunteers or staff is desirable, although not essential. Strong IT skills are required, including proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and Outlook, alongside good literacy, numeracy, and evaluation abilities. You will also have an understanding of the cultural, social, and health issues affecting service users, strong partnership-working skills, and a sound knowledge of safeguarding responsibilities and best practice.
