**Job Introduction**

As our Lived Experience Volunteer Coordinator, you will have the responsibility of recruiting, training, supporting, and retaining volunteers who come from a lived experience background of gambling related harms. These volunteers will use their personal lived experience to provide support to those who are seeking help via our new recovery coach programme and digital platforms which currently includes our chatrooms and forum.

You will work closely with colleagues to develop recruitment, training, and induction programs that enable our recovery coaches to provide the highest quality support possible, working to KPI's and performance measures to timescales as agreed with funders.

As part of this work, you will also use data and insights to establish clear signposting and referral pathways to our new support services. You will be a creative thinker, able to work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders to ensure that our services adhere to safeguarding procedures and prioritise the wellbeing of our recovery coaches.

The wellbeing, development, and recovery of our volunteers is paramount to the success of this role. As such, you will play a vital role in ensuring that our volunteers are supported and empowered to provide the best possible support to those who need it most, whilst also nurturing and safeguarding our volunteers' own recoveries as part of their journey. We believe that our beneficiaries will be more likely to trust and engage with services that are co-designed and co-delivered with individuals who share their experiences.

**Main Responsibilities**
- Recruiting, inducting, training, and retaining a team of Lived Experience volunteers who can deliver effective peer support to individuals affected by gambling harm through various online channels.
- Developing and following processes and procedures to safeguard both service users and Lived Experience volunteers.
- Facilitating regular check-ins, team meetings, development days, and debriefs with Lived Experience Volunteers to ensure their own recovery is safeguarded.
- Collaborating effectively within the Remote Services Team and wider teams to identify volunteering opportunities that support GamCare's work from a lived experience perspective.
- Ensuring that appropriate and regularly updated resources and materials are available for Lived Experience Volunteers to function in their roles effectively.
- Maintaining high standards of quality assurance, ensuring any systems issues are reported and fed back to the line manager for resolution.
- Facilitating effective communication and engagement with Lived Experience Volunteers by disseminating information to ensure they feel part of the wider organisation.
- Ensuring that all Lived Experience Volunteers receive regular supervision and ongoing development opportunities.

You will have excellent communication skills, working with staff, volunteers and lived experience groups both internally and externally at GamCare. These groups will have first-hand knowledge of what works and what doesn't and be able to provide feedback on what needs developing or introducing.
