Job description

Volunteering Matters brings people together to overcome some of society’s most complex issues through the power of volunteering. We partner with local families to build strength, resilience, and hope across communities. Mentoring is a core part of transforming lives—and that’s where you come in. Volunteering Matters

The Family Mentor Project supports parents and carers in Southend‑on‑Sea, helping them to access the tools, confidence and support they need to create safe, stable, positive home environments for their children.

What Does a Family Mentor Do?

As a Family Mentor Volunteer, you will:

  • Build a trusting, supportive relationship with a family or caregiver.
  • Help them identify goals for their family life (e.g. routines, communication, managing behaviour, accessing local services).
  • Offer practical support—signposting, encouragement, sometimes assisting with navigating social or health systems.
  • Be a consistent presence: offering emotional support, listening, celebrating successes and helping find solutions when things are hard.
  • Keep records (confidentially), attend supervision and ongoing training.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who:

  • Is patient, reliable, non‑judgemental, and can commit to being there over time.
  • Has good listening and communication skills.
  • Is organised enough to help plan sessions, set realistic goals, follow through.
  • Is able to maintain confidentiality and boundaries.
  • Preferably has some experience (professional, volunteering or lived) with families, children or community work—but not essential.
  • Can attend occasional training and supervision.

What You’ll Gain

  • A chance to make a real, positive difference in someone’s life, and in your wider community.
  • Increased confidence, interpersonal and mentoring skills.
  • Training & support from Volunteering Matters, plus access to a network of volunteers.
  • The rewards of seeing growth, change and resilience in people you’ve supported.

Practical Info & Support

  • Full training provided before and during your volunteering.
  • Regular supervision & ongoing development.
  • Reasonable travel expenses / out‑of‑pocket costs reimbursed.
  • CRB / DBS check (or equivalent) as required.

How to Apply

If you believe in the power of mentoring, and want to help families thrive in Southend‑on‑Sea, we’d love to hear from you. To apply, please:

  1. Register interest
  2. Attend an informal interview - via Teams or Face to face
  3. If successful, engage in initial training, then begin making connections with a family.
