Job Description
About the role
Our Mentoring Service Coordinator plays a central role in ensuring that our mentoring support for serving personnel, veterans and families runs smoothly, safely and effectively every day.
This is a key operational position at the heart of our mentoring pathway — the first point of contact for enquiries, a reliable source for guiding cases through the system, and the person ensuring that quality, consistency and safeguarding remain at the forefront of everything we do.
This role is vital in coordinating the entire volunteer journey – from recruitment and onboarding through to training, compliance and offboarding – ensuring every mentor enjoys a positive, well‑supported and consistent experience throughout their time with the service.
You will act on behalf of the Service Manager in day‑to‑day operations and during periods of absence, ensuring continuity and confidence across the service.
About the Team
You will be joining a small, well‑established, and dedicated team covering the whole of the UK. With regular team meetings and a range of communication channels, you will receive ongoing support, training, and mentoring. Although we operate remotely, we are a closely connected team whose collaboration, commitment, and shared purpose drive our success.
About you
You’ll be confident working with sensitive, complex and sometimes emotional situations, drawing on sound knowledge of safeguarding, confidentiality and GDPR to ensure every interaction is handled safely and appropriately. Accuracy matters in this role, so you’ll take pride in maintaining high‑quality data and applying robust quality‑assurance processes to support safe, consistent service delivery.
You will have used Microsoft Office to a high standard. It is important that you have experience of planning and managing your own workload, with minimal supervision.
You’ll have experience of working with volunteers or volunteering yourself, and understand what good volunteer practice looks like — from recruitment and induction through to ongoing support, management and recognition. Strong communication skills will enable you to build positive relationships with a wide range of people, whether internal colleagues, external partners, beneficiaries or volunteers.
There will be some travel required and therefore you will need to be able to drive and have access to your own car.
