4 weeks ago

Coventry, United Kingdom St Giles Trust Full time

**Job Summary**:
Are you a dynamic, compassionate, and target-driven individual with a proven record of working in a multiagency/disciplinary team and engaging positively with young or challenging people or other vulnerable groups? Looking for an exciting and highly rewarding new career opportunity?

If so, join St Giles Trust as our Volunteer Co-ordinator. You will be involved in **Community initiative to reduce violence (CIRV)** focused deterrent programme. Focus deterrents is a strategy that seeks to identify the people most likely to be involved in violence and provide them with the support for developing positive routes away from it.

**About St Giles Trust**
St Giles Trust is a Charity helping people facing severe disadvantage to find jobs, homes, and the right support they need. We help them to become positive contributors to local communities and wider society. We passionately believe everybody is capable of changing their lives. Our mission is to help our clients achieve this through offering support from someone who has been there. Our peer-led services form the backbone of our work.
St Giles have been working across the Midlands for the past 7 years delivering peer led services supporting people impacted by disadvantage, youth violence and offending. Our work has evolved from prison training and rehabilitation services to community outreach including working in local A&E hospitals, police custody and Youth Offending Services. From our Coventry hub we offer a range of peer training, mentoring and more recently we have just opened a food pantry service to local people struggling with food poverty.

**About this key role**:
CIRV is primarily designed to engage anyone of age and connect them to an exit pathway from gangs, violence and county lines. It also coordinates disrupted functions for those who are primarily adults who have been referred, who are criminally active yet failed to engage.

As the volunteer coordinator you will be required to provide day-to-day supervision, support and guidance to our volunteer cohort, brokering relationships between mentor and the young person/adult. You will support with related tasks, ensuring compliance, assisting with day-to-day queries from the team and our partners, and escalating where necessary to the team manager.

You will work with volunteers assigning them to a young person/ adult and support them to build positive nurturing relationships by delivering mentoring to ensure agreed outcomes are met. You will need to ensure there are clear pathways for signposting to other relevant services and identify local opportunities such as mental health support or other positive activities.

**What we are looking for**
- Demonstrable track record of successfully working with volunteers within this sector.
- Excellent knowledge of voluntary sector, volunteering good practice, volunteering cycle and management.
- Ability to assess volunteer needs and provide support.
- Member of Association of Volunteer Managers or similar association.
- Have good communication skills, able to talk to a wide range of people quickly identifying opportunities to work with key stakeholders.
- Experience of supervising volunteers and ability to supervise people with lived experience in their placements and in building a positive future for themselves.
- Understanding and commitment to good safeguarding practice.
- Ability to monitor work and provide statistical and narrative reports.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, childcare vouchers, season ticket loan and much more.

**Closing date: 11 p.m. Sunday 07 May 2023.**
