The post holder will be part of the Volunteer Development Team and support with all activities relating to volunteering recruitment and promotion of good practice, with particular emphasis on managing vacancies through on-line recruitment sites. 

There is an opportunity to work across multiple departments in SSAFA and alongside all the VDMs across the UK gaining experience of managing multiple recruitment platforms and developing best practise guides which can be used to upskill our volunteers.

We are keen to increase the number of impactful case studies we have of the brilliant work our volunteers do and you will be instrumental in helping us capture these and build a case study library.

The Volunteer Development Team supports SSAFA branches to recruit volunteers, grow local and regional volunteering and promote best practice. As a key member of the team, you will work closely with our Volunteer Development Managers and other colleagues to capture the true potential of volunteers in making a difference to SSAFA beneficiaries providing you with the opportunity to expand  your knowledge in volunteer management in a volunteer-led charity.

About the team

The Volunteer Development Management team is a skilled and friendly team who are passionate about the value of volunteering. The team works across the Volunteer Operations directorate and has close working relationships with the Regional Operations Support Managers, Regional Fundraising Officers, Learning and Development teams, PR and Marketing teams and crucially, the Volunteer Experience team – all working together to improve the experience and capabilities of our volunteer network for the good of our beneficiaries.

This will be a varied role so excellent organisation skills, own workload management with accurate administration are essential particularly in relation to written communications. A range of relationships will need to be built externally and internally, hence, demonstrable interpersonal skills will be required.

Your passion for volunteering must be demonstrable with a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion to be an advocate in this area across the volunteer network.

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing practical, emotional, and financial support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Last year our teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 79,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts or are still currently serving, and their families.

SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. We are here for that person – any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us.

Diversity and Inclusion at SSAFA

SSAFA exists to support a diverse range of beneficiaries within the armed forces community, and we believe diversity within our teams is key to ensuring we can deliver our services effectively. We thrive on differences and believe it is critical to our success as a worldwide charity. SSAFA is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace that seeks to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We therefore encourage applications from all genders, races, religions, ages and sexual orientations, as well as parents, veterans, people living with disabilities, and any other groups that could bring diverse perspectives to our business.

Job Title: Parents in Mind Peer Support Co-ordinator

Salary: £22,000 FTE

Hours: 28 hours per week

Fixed term contract until 28th June 2024

We are looking for a talented individual to join the brand new NCT Parents in Mind East Sussex team, coordinating the delivery of the perinatal mental health peer support across the area – initially until the end of June 2024, but with the possibility of extension, subject to funding.  This role is home-based but will include regular meetings (sometimes at short notice) across East Sussex – specifically the Hastings, Eastbourne, Newhaven areas - so the ability to travel and a flexible approach to working are essential. The post will be for 28 hours per week.

The post holder will use their excellent listening skills, sensitivity and empathy to refer service users into the peer support service, making sure we are the right fit for their needs, and if so, matching them with our fabulous team of volunteer peer supporters. The project co-ordinator will also monitor and take feedback on the experiences of the clients in our care, and support those who feel they need additional/alternative support into other local services.

You must have excellent written and oral communication skills and be able to quickly create rapport with volunteers, service users, NCT practitioners and a range of staff from local services. An understanding of mental health support is also essential to the post. This is a complex project, so you must be able to confidently prioritise your own work, be highly organised and able to work independently. The post holder will be an ambassador for the service across the locality, so outstanding relationship building skills are vital. Good IT skills will also be required – including use of Outlook, Word and Excel. Ideally you will also have the skills to be able to engage with parents via social media.

It is essential for this post that you are, or undertake the training to become, a Parents in Mind peer supporter. This training requires lived experience/close support of another who has experienced mental health difficulties during the transition to parenthood, and the accredited training would be undertaken in addition to your paid hours.

We are taking positive action to increase diversity throughout our organisation, at all levels, and to nurture a culture of inclusion for all our people and the parents and families that we support.  More details about our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion action can be found here.

We are committed to zero discrimination both internally and externally regardless of visible or invisible difference such as sex, sexual orientation, age, race, ethnicity, disability, impairment, learning difference or long-term condition, religion or belief, gender identity, economic class, marital/civil partnership, family status including single parents, socio-economic background and pregnancy and maternity.We provide reasonable adjustments and are committed to an inclusive and accessible recruitment process. 

We welcome and actively encourage applications from all candidates including those from under-represented groups within NCT such as individuals from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQI+ people and people with a disability. 

Closing date: 12 noon, Thursday 14th July.

Interviews will take place via Zoom on Monday 18th July.

As the leading bereavement support organisation in the UK, Cruse has over 4000 volunteers who provide bereavement support to over 35,000 people a year.  We want to continue to be known for our excellent volunteer experience externally and be an amazing organisation for people to want to give their time and skills.

We want to help more people and diversify who we support. The Volunteer Experience Lead is a new and exciting national role to help us grow, develop and improve the experience of, and engagement with, all of our amazing volunteers to ensure they are motivated, skilled and supported to do their role. 

This role is strategic and operational. It will act as a National Advisor, inform, and advise on the plans and policies that involve volunteers; it will lead on better engagement as well as introduce more consistent practice and processes covering all aspects of the volunteer experience.

The successful candidate will be relationship focused, confident and resilient with a passion for making organisational improvements and leading positive change.
