We're looking for a Volunteer Coordinator who's good with people and good at organising them - someone who can recruit, train and keep in touch with the volunteers who make FFLAG's support possible.
Are you someone who enjoys building relationships and helping people do their best work? This role is about making sure FFLAG's volunteers - most of them parents of LGBT+ children themselves - feel properly recruited, trained and supported.
About FFLAG
FFLAG is a national voluntary organisation and registered charity and is the UK's longest established parent support charity in the LGBT+ sector. Our history began in the grassroots parent helplines of the 1960s, grew through the 1980's and 90's as we supported anxious parents and fought against the discrimination of Section 28, becoming a formally registered charity in 2000.
Our work sounds simple, but it is life changing. We help parents and families understand, accept and support their lesbian, gay, bisexual, non-binary and transgender family members with love and pride.
We offer a range of support options spanning 1-2-1 online and helpline support services to a UK-wide monthly group Zoom meeting and face to face local groups. We also have an extensive collection of online resources and guides. We attend as many Pride events as we can and our work supports thousands of people every year. This support is provided by an active base of FFLAG volunteers who are parents of LGBT+ children themselves, supported by other volunteers and allies.
What this job is all about
As Volunteer Coordinator, you'll make sure FFLAG's volunteers are properly recruited, trained and supported, so they can continue doing this work well. Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will:
-
Identify what volunteers FFLAG needs, then recruit, induct and train them, including DBS checks and references
-
Maintain training, the volunteer handbook and the Code of Conduct up to date
-
Maintain regular contact with volunteers, so they stay engaged, safe and supported
-
Act as FFLAG's Safeguarding Lead, providing regular supervision to support volunteers
-
Keep accurate records, liaise with Trustees, and report on volunteer activity to the Board
-
Be a member of the Services and Support Committee
-
Provide support to the Operations Manager with events, as required
What are the skills and attributes you will need?
This role needs someone who's organised, approachable, and motivated by helping people do well - but it also needs real, hands-on experience of volunteer coordination from day one, since it's a small, part-time role with no one else to lean on for this work. We're specifically looking for candidates who can point to evidence of previous experience in:
-
Recruiting, training and supporting volunteers in a paid or voluntary role
-
Keeping volunteers engaged and retained over time
-
Handling safeguarding matters sensitively and appropriately
-
Working independently and comfortably in a remote-working setup
-
A genuine interest in equality, diversity, and the LGBT+ community
Please note: this role isn't suitable as a first step into volunteer management - we're looking for candidates who already have relevant, demonstrable experience in this area.
Why join us?
It's a chance to play a hands-on role at a charity with a long history of supporting parents and families, helping the volunteers who in turn support thousands of people every year. It's part-time, flexible and home-based, with 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (both pro rata), and a pension in place.

· Make appropriate referrals to statutory, voluntary and specialist services, including housing, mental health, substance misuse, domestic abuse, welfare advice, safeguarding and emergency support.
· Maintain regular follow-up with guests who may miss appointments, disengage or require repeated encouragement to access support.
· Maintain accurate, confidential and GDPR-compliant records using WSUP’s case management systems.
2. Development of Women’s Service Provision
· Lead the development and day-to-day oversight of WSUP’s women’s service provision, including Women’s Wednesday.

· Work with women using WSUP services to co-produce activities and shape the ongoing development of the women’s programme.
· Identify and respond to the specific needs of women experiencing homelessness, domestic abuse, unsafe housing, temporary accommodation, poor mental health, substance misuse, poverty, trauma, isolation or resettlement barriers.
· Develop clear pathways into specialist support for women, including domestic abuse services, sexual health services, mental health support, substance misuse services, housing advice, welfare advice, safeguarding provision and emergency support.
· Provide a trusted community hub for women who may not yet feel ready to engage with formal casework or statutory services.
· Help women reduce isolation, build confidence, sustain community connections and gradually move towards more formal support where appropriate.
· Monitor attendance, outcomes, feedback and emerging needs within the women’s service and report learning to WSUP’s leadership team.
· Promote a psychologically safer environment for women who may have experienced trauma, stigma, exploitation, violence, exclusion or previous negative experiences of services.

· Work alongside volunteers with lived experience to provide safe, relational and purposeful support.
· Help ensure peer volunteers understand safeguarding, boundaries, confidentiality, lone-working and referral procedures.
· Contribute to volunteer briefings, debriefs and reflective practice where relevant.
· Support quarterly co-production sessions with women using WSUP’s provision, enabling them to shape activities, share feedback and identify gaps in support.
· Ensure feedback from guests and women using the service informs programme development, partnership working and service improvement.
