Volunteering Matters
Everyone in the UK should have the opportunity to thrive. So we bring people together to overcome some of society's most complex issues through the power of volunteering.


We partner with communities to overcome adversity, tackling social isolation and loneliness, improving health, developing skills and opportunities and making sure young people can lead change.

And because we're a national charity, we do this at scale, sharing our expertise and building partnerships to make an even bigger impact.

We turn local knowledge and energy into action and progress, building stronger communities and a better future for all.

Role Purpose
Grandmentors is an innovative volunteering project where more mature volunteers use their lifetime of skills and experience to support and mentor under supported young people (predominantly aged with experience of the care system.

These young people often need a guiding hand and role model to support them to find work, continue their education or begin training - giving them the skills and self-belief to lead successful and independent lives.

Volunteers meet with a young person regularly to boost their confidence and work towards goals, which are unique to each young person.


The postholder will be leading on the Grandmentors project within the London Borough of Lewisham, working closely with Lewisham Council and our other Grandmentors projects nationally.

The Project Coordinator role is part of a job share, meaning you will be working closely with another Project Coordinator who has already been working on the project for a year.

The post holder will attend Council team meetings to integrate Grandmentors into other Council services as well as other local community and council-led events.

They will recruit volunteers locally from the community, and within surrounding areas where referred young people live. Young people are referred directly to Volunteering Matters through the Leaving Care team at Lewisham Council.

The post holder with work with the young people to match them with a volunteer mentor and support the ongoing relationship.

This can include some evening and weekend work, which is within our flexible working culture and policy.


The postholder will be expected to maintain relationships whilst developing new ones, and will be working to achieve match and referral targets.

A flexible and adaptable approach is important, working with volunteers and young people to achieve positive outcomes.

The postholder will ensure the volunteers are trained and supported to help the young people achieve their goals, and also to support young people who may have varied complex challenges relating to for example, physical and mental health, new parenthood, English as an additional language and barriers faced through cultural heritage.
