HFVC – Hammersmith and Fulham Volunteer Centre – has been awarded a new five-year contract funded by the Public Health Service in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.

They will be at ease working with diverse audiences, from estate residents to highly technical medical staff. They will have empathy to assist residents in making informed choices about health and well-being. In addition, they will feedback users’ priorities and views to healthcare commissioners to guide strategic direction.
The duties and person characteristics of the Project Co-ordinator include:
- Recruitment, retention, supervision and support of volunteer team members as Bayonne and Field Road Community Champions
- Organise training courses for this team and other audiences
- Co-ordinate outreach and engagement of hard-to-reach communities
- Demonstrate compassion and empathy with diverse communities; be committed to diversity and equal opportunities; ensure representative participation in project activities
- Undertake and oversee project delivery, including research, regular/ one-off activities, public health information campaigns, and more
- Work in partnership with other third-sector and public-sector organisations
- Represent HFVC and be the voice of estate residents at appropriate meetings and forums
- Market and publicise the project, e.g. case studies, news items, website, newsletters
- Manage project budget and petty cash process
- Be self-sufficient with communications and database technology such as MS Outlook, Excel and Word; previous knowledge of a CRM and/or monitoring database is desirable
- Demonstrate good time management and a well-organised, autonomous work style
- Evaluate and monitor project progress, e.g. record-keeping, data analysis, regular reporting for funder, line manager and Trustees.
Some project activities are likely to take place on occasional weekends and/or evenings. Time off in lieu is provided.
As a Volunteer Centre, we value your volunteering experience highly, as well as your paid work history. We aim to be an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
