Community Participation Coordinator

2 months ago

Chester, United Kingdom CAFOD Full time

**Starting Salary**:£33,620 - £35,203 (pro rata)

**Contract**:Permanent

**Hours**:21 per week per week

**Job Profile**

CAFOD’s work in the Catholic community of England and Wales is to inspire and resource Catholics to participate in the Church’s mission to overcome poverty and injustice in partnership with CAFOD.
- The role of a Community Participation Coordinator (CPC), described below, covers both parishes and schools in a given diocese or area. This particular role covers the parish-focused work in Shrewsbury Diocese. The aspects of the CPC role that relate to schools work will be done by other members of the team although it is possible that the role will involve covering some school work from time to time if the need arises._

The main purpose of the CPC role is to recruit and support a team of committed, inspired and well-resourced volunteers working in parish and school communities to enable and equip Catholics to connect and understand, give, act and pray. Each Community Participation Co-ordinator is responsible for the participation of parishes in CAFOD’s work, enabled by the work of a well-managed team of volunteers within a diocese or dioceses within the regional team.

The CPC is part of a regional team working across a group of dioceses and whilst having a primary focus on one diocese, is responsible for the results of the regional team plans in relation to volunteer recruitment and retention and parishioner participation.

The role will be based either from home (living within or close to Shrewsbury Diocese) or from **CAFOD’s Volunteer Centre in Manchester,** or hybrid - a mix of home and office based. It is expected that the post holder will be mobile and flexible to meet volunteers, clergy and other stakeholders as required. The post holder will also be meeting with other regional team members as required both virtually and face-to-face. The role requires a willingness to be adaptable to support the work of the regional team, deploying skills, knowledge and at times activity in other parts of the regional team area. This is likely to require some additional travel (which would be reimbursed by CAFOD). The post also requires weekend and evening work.

CPCs are accountable for delivering CAFOD’s annual participation plans locally across England and Wales. This focuses on growing parish participation through an increased number and activity of parish volunteers and the development of volunteer co-ordinators. The plan is also focused on enabling parish communities to expand the breadth of their participation. Through greater numbers and activity of schools volunteers and volunteer co-ordinators, more schools will be visited by a CAFOD volunteer.

The post, which is part time (21 hours per week) reports to the Community Participation Manager for the region.

**Key Responsibilities**

**Delivering participation plans**
- Share accountability for delivery of annual participation plans for the region (a group of dioceses) with a primary focus on one diocese, and for fundraising, education, campaigns, media targets, as delineated by the participation plan for the region. The typical CPC role will have an 80% focus on parish communities and a 20% focus on school communities but **this role will be focused on parishes with the diocese.**:

- Contribute to the development and delivery of a regional plan across a number of dioceses in support of the annual participation plans and appropriate for local contexts.
- Achieve targets for increasing parishioner and children & young people participation primarily through recruitment and retention of volunteers.
- Produce monthly reports on recruitment, activity, development and retention of parish and schools and youth volunteers.
- Closely monitor parish participation activity

**Managing volunteers**
- Be the local volunteer manager in a specific diocese or dioceses.
- Hold the relationship with a targeted number of volunteers in order to achieve the annual participation plan in the region.
- Contribute to increasing the number and activity of parish and school volunteers and volunteer co-ordinators in line with the regional team plan.
- Contribute to development of volunteering opportunities especially the growth of volunteer coordinators.
- Match the offers, skills, experiences and expectations of volunteers with opportunities and needs in relation to CAFOD’s plans for parishioners and children & young people.
- Coordinate and support the work of a number of volunteers working in partnership with CAFOD to deliver CAFOD’s programmes of work within parish and school communities.
- Ensure each volunteer is appropriately inducted, briefed, trained and resourced.
- Increase and ensure volunteer retention through induction, support, affirmation and effective management of the volunteer throughout their involvement with CAFOD.
- Organize volunteer briefings and training opportunities to be delivered either by national programme teams or self o
