Manchester, United Kingdom Justlife Foundation Ltd Full time

**About this role**

We are seeking a ‘can-do’ Volunteer Coordinator who will work in a professional yet flexible and person-centred way to build positive relationships with volunteer befrienders and people exiting homelessness.

You will have a collaborative and positive approach to supporting and working alongside colleagues from across the organisation as well as those external to Justlife. You will have experience of recruiting, training, and managing volunteers and an understanding of supporting people with multiple and complex needs.

A positive, engaging, and proactive team player, you will play an integral part in the Greater Manchester Justlife team, sometimes undertaking additional duties to help support the wide-ranging scope of this team’s work.

You will have the drive and passion to help Justlife deliver our new Social Connections Project.

**Why do we exist?**

Justlife is in existence because we know thousands of people struggle to manage in poor and unsuitable temporary accommodation. Their stay isn’t temporary, they are likely to be suffering with deteriorating mental and physical health, becoming victims of crime, losing control of their life, and even dying prematurely. We are working towards making their stays as short, safe and healthy as possible.

**How do we operate?**

Our values guide our work and are very important to us:

- Collaboration before competition
- People before programmes
- Innovation before institutions

**What do we do?**

Justlife delivers impactful services in Greater Manchester and Brighton & Hove, supporting and empowering people experiencing homelessness in temporary accommodation. We also drive positive system change across the national temporary accommodation sector, convening those with a common interest; people with lived experience, landlords, charities, local and national government, and carrying out research and gathering insights.

We aim to grow our impact and reach, supporting more people in temporary accommodation and to build a movement that brings about lasting positive change.

**Why work for us?**

Here at Justlife, we're committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that's representative of the communities we serve, which is why we strive for diversity of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, ethnicity and perspective.

**Perks of working at Justlife**
- **Great holiday package **Starting at 27 days annual leave entitlement, plus bank holidays (increasing to 29 days after 5 years’ service and 30 days after 10 years’ service)
