Supported volunteering coordinator jobs

We are recruiting a part time Pause Coordinator to join our established Practice in Halton.

Pause Coordinators play a vital role in the success of our work. They manage a broad and varied range of responsibilities, from supporting finance, data and performance monitoring systems, to organising events and providing high-level administrative and strategic support. As a key point of contact, they work closely with professionals, women and partners, requiring excellent communication skills and a strong understanding of the needs and experiences of the women we support.

As a Pause Coordinator, you will provide comprehensive administrative support to the Practice, helping ensure the team can work effectively and deliver meaningful impact.

You will be central to the smooth day-to-day running of the service, particularly as colleagues are often working out in the community. This role suits someone who is highly organised, proactive and detail-focused. You'll be in the office as well as working from home, and as you're part time, we can be flexible with your hours.

You’ll be part of a small, supportive team where collaboration and flexibility are essential, and where everyone is committed to improving outcomes for the women we work with.

Do you enjoy bringing people together? Are you organised and friendly? Chinnor Village Centre is looking for a proactive, caring person to support the clubs and community groups. From timetables to room setups, from welcoming participants to sharing what we do across our community and local organisations, you’ll help create a vibrant, inclusive programme of activities designed to bring older people together and end social isolation. 

We are a small, friendly team of Trustees and staff, committed to making the Centre the hub of community life. Ideally you will have experience relevant to the post but the right qualities to provide a caring, inclusive environment are most important. 

The postholder will work 2 days a week, on Tuesday and Wednesday. There may be an option to increase to Thursdays in the future. Additional benefits include 25 days holiday per year pro rata and a pension scheme. Training relevant to the post will be provided.

A key part of the role is overseeing the delivery of grant-funded projects, ensuring they are effectively planned, coordinated and delivered to a high standard.

You will thrive in this role if you are an experienced manager who enjoys keeping things organised, managing competing priorities and helping others to deliver high-quality work. Your ability to communicate clearly and work collaboratively will ensure that insight from carers and partners translates into meaningful, accessible support.

This is an exciting hybrid role with a mix of working from home and attendance at countywide events and partnerships, offering the opportunity to be part of a supportive, purpose-driven organisation committed to improving outcomes for unpaid carers.

• Oversee delivery across key areas (mental health, dementia, learning disability & neurodiversity, drug & alcohol)

You’ll carry out home visits and community-based meetings, co-produce support plans, and develop effective relationships with Carers, families, and professionals.

You’ll build on your local knowledge to signpost and facilitate access for Carers to support services, including financial and benefit advice, housing, health and safety home systems, and leisure and social activities. The role also requires you to support the development of escalation plans so that Carers are prepared for unforeseen circumstances that would impact negatively on ability to care.

Together with colleagues, you will plan and deliver the service’s activity package, including coffee mornings, drop-in sessions, activities, online and face to face groups, and peer support forums. There will also be opportunities to promote the service by attending meetings and forums, and to deliver training sessions to professionals and community organisations so that they have the skills to identify Carers.

Beat’s advocacy programme supports people affected by eating disorders, and their carers, to access the treatment, information and support they are entitled to within national guidance. Too often, people face barriers to care, delays in accessing treatment, or decisions that do not appear to reflect relevant guidance. The advocacy programme aims to help people challenge these barriers, understand their rights and options, and feel more confident to advocate for themselves or those they care for.

The Advocacy Coordinator will play an important role in delivering and developing this work. This will include providing direct advocacy support, working closely with Beat’s Helpline and volunteer teams, supporting self-advocacy through resources and letter writing tools, and helping to identify wider themes or systemic issues that may be affecting access to care. The postholder will need to combine empathy and strong communication skills with attention to detail, confidence in working with guidance and processes, and the ability to challenge decisions constructively where needed. This is a varied role that requires sensitivity, tenacity and a strong commitment to ensuring that people affected by eating disorders are listened to, taken seriously and able to access the care they need.

The closing date for this position is 8th July at 9am, however Beat has the right to close this position at any time, so please do submit your application early to avoid any disappointment.

This is a pivotal role at the heart of Resonate Arts, supporting the smooth, safe and effective running of our organisation.

Your work will enable the wider team—particularly the Director—to focus on delivering high-quality, person-centred arts programmes for people living with dementia, and on securing the organisation’s long-term sustainability.

This is a hands-on role combining administration, systems management and coordination. It offers the opportunity to play a key part in strengthening how the organisation works, helping us to grow our impact while maintaining high standards of care, safety and accountability.

Creating stronger communities through the power of volunteering

Volunteering Matters is a nationwide charity that exists to create stronger communities through the power of volunteering. We work with local partners to develop impactful programmes that support individuals and communities across the UK.

Since 1962, we’ve used our influence to champion volunteering as a powerful tool to build a thriving, resilient society. Our projects are co-created with the people and communities we work alongside: an approach that encourages our participants to become future volunteers and leaders, not just beneficiaries.

We understand the pressures of day-to-day life and create flexible, inclusive opportunities for people at all stages of life. And beyond delivering projects on the ground, we use our voice to shape policy and practice – ensuring volunteering stays recognised, supported and sustainable for generations to come.

What we do
We help people of all ages and backgrounds get involved in volunteering and social action. We focus on making sure that everyone, no matter their situation, has the chance to take part. We work with local people.

How we do this
We support people to share their time and skills to help others and tackle big challenges in their communities.

· We remove barriers to volunteering and social action, making it easier for people who don’t always get the chance to take part.

· We listen to and amplify voices that aren’t always heard, helping volunteers and communities influence change.
 

·We help volunteers beyond their first experience, offering training, support, and pathways to new opportunities.
 

·We connect businesses with communities, creating meaningful employee volunteering projects.
 

·We show the impact of volunteering and social action, proving how it changes lives for the better.
