About Us

Unfold is an established local charity, supporting young people and families in Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea to get where they want to be, identifying and achieving their goals through mentoring and peer support.   

For over 35 years, we have been supporting people who face social injustice, from families seeking asylum and young people excluded from school to women rebuilding confidence after hardship. Our programmes are rooted in empowerment and inclusion, led by trained volunteers who mentor, listen, and champion change.

Last year, we supported over 450 women, young people, and families, and with our team now 19-strong, we’re growing our reach, our partnerships, and our impact.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Volunteer & Communications Coordinator who believes in the power of people and storytelling.
This is a role for someone who’s passionate about community and inclusion, and who can bring both heart and strategy to the way we recruit, train, and celebrate our volunteers.

You’ll lead the development of our volunteer and communications strategy, ensuring our work is inclusive, rooted in social justice, and reflective of the communities we serve. From recruiting and training new mentors to telling powerful stories that shift narratives, this is a role where people skills meet purpose.

You’ll:

  • Build meaningful partnerships with community organisations, universities, and employers to grow a diverse volunteer base.
  • Oversee each step of the volunteer journey, recruitment, training, and recognition, ensuring every volunteer feels supported and valued.
  • Shape Unfold’s digital presence and social media, amplifying Global Majority voices and sharing stories that inspire others to get involved.
  • Work collaboratively across programmes to strengthen processes, maintain accurate data, and embed rights-based practice.

About You

You’ll bring:

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a confident, engaging style.
  • Strong organisational ability - able to manage multiple priorities.
  • Good data management skills and attention to detail.
  • Understanding of the volunteer sector and enthusiasm for supporting families and young people to thrive.
  • Experience in marketing or external communications, including managing social media and creating materials in Canva or similar tools.
  • Ability to create compelling case studies and campaigns, and working with tools such as Mailchimp/

If you’re a storyteller with a social purpose who can bring warmth, structure, and creativity to a growing organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Join Us?

  • Holidays: 25 working days (along with additional Christmas closedown days)
  • Pension: We offer a generous pension provision. New staff are automatically enrolled for a pension after three months, and after six months, we will match your contribution up to a maximum of 8%.
  • Team working: We are a small but brilliant team: we're supportive, diverse, and we help each other out. There are always opportunities to get involved in different aspects of the organisation, or lead on new initiatives.
  • Training opportunities: We want to ensure that our team is continuously learning and building expertise in their field. For this reason, we offer each team member two days per year dedicated to professional development and training opportunities.
  • Wellbeing - How we feel matters: Staff have access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme, and our staff Wellbeing Champions are leading on the design and delivery of our wellbeing strategy, including the review of our quarterly wellbeing survey. Staff have regular supervision sessions to encourage reflection and discussion on our work and wellbeing. Additionally, we’re excited to introduce three days a year dedicated to team-building activities. These days are an opportunity to build skills, foster connections, and recharge as a team!
  • Flexible working: We're happy to consider flexible working arrangements in line with the requirements of the role.
  • Working Environment: We work in a beautiful, accessible, eco-friendly co-working space with a number of other charities, with plants, a leafy roof terrace and free hot and cold drinks. With comfortable spaces to read quietly or talk in a group, our workspace is somewhere you'll want to be.
