London, Greater London, United Kingdom Time & Talents Association Full time
  • Do you want to help build a world where everyone feels part of a community?
  • Do you have experience of leading volunteers in different projects?

    If you answered yes, this could be the role for you

    We're looking for an experienced, part-time volunteer coordinator to deliver our extensive volunteer programme, featuring our Older People's Befriending projects, our group assistants, our administrative volunteers and other volunteer opportunities.

    What we do

    Time & Talents is a lively, busy community centre in the heart of Rotherhithe. Set in a leafy heritage building and 'T&T2', our second venue in Surrey Quays Shopping Centre, we offer something for everyone. With a history of 137 years of supporting people of all ages in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey, we bring people together for mutual support, fun and friendship, with a wide range of services and activities for older people and other adults, along with volunteering and children and families' projects. Time & Talents is well-known for supporting isolated and lonely older people in the area. Our volunteer Befriending scheme is more than 40 years strong and helps around 75 housebound older people each year to have social contact they can rely on. Cycling Without Age (CWA), a newer branch of our volunteer work based on a Danish model, has transformed into Bicycle Befriending since the pandemic. Bicycle Befriending pairs trained cyclists with older people for regular rides round the parks in our specialist trishaws. The trishaws are also a big hit at our events In addition to the Older Adults programme needs, we need volunteers each week to support our community groups and our administrative needs. Corporations often want to volunteer as teambuilding events or to help with our community offer, and this role plays a lead role as first point of contact for those queries as well. We are building our volunteer-driven offer whilst staying focused on our aims: ensuring that everyone feels part of a community and that no one is isolated or lonely.

    The role

    In this role, you'll:


    • Develop volunteering roles and projects in line with T&T's aims across programme areas.


    • Support programme areas to develop their volunteer roles and recruit, train and support those volunteers.


    • Develop and coordinate the befriending and CWA projects at Time & Talents, including recruitment, training and support of volunteers and service users in these projects.


    • Act as first point of contact for corporate volunteering inquiries.

    About you

    You have a track record in driving the excellent delivery of grant-funded community programmes in the third sector. You're an emotionally resilient and experienced team leader with a growth mindset and plenty of grit. You're flexible, accountable, take responsibility, are highly organised and skilled in multitasking and balancing priorities. You have experience of fundraising and maybe other types of income generation. You have strong relationship building skills – internally and externally - and build trust and credibility easily. You are passionate about the power of community to connect and support people.

    About us

    We are an energetic, experienced, and passionate team of 18, with a strong sense of shared purpose and a lively sense of humour. You'll have the chance to make a big contribution to a growing, ambitious and innovative organisation which has doubled its reach and impact in recent years. This role is part time, with flexibility for regular evening and occasional weekend working. Time & Talents is wholly committed to inclusion and diversity, and to building a culture and environment where everyone is appreciated for the unique person that they are. We actively encourage applications from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.

    If you would like an informal chat about the job,please get in touch and we will be happy to speak with you. The closing date is 09:00 Monday 5th August 2024.
