Jobs in Woodford Green

 The role

We’re seeking a Volunteering and Participation Coordinator to join our fantastic Volunteering and Participation team!

As our organisation grows we want to ensure we are consistently providing a great experience for volunteers and lived experience participants, right through from recruitment and onboarding, to providing support and enabling them to be ambassadors for the charity once they move on.

We have brought the areas of volunteering and participation of people with lived experience in our work, together in this role and team. We see these areas as having some points of distinctions, and also that many of the approaches and policies underpinning them are the same. We want to prioritise the same enabling and impactful approach, which values diversity, in both. 

PCUK has made a commitment to diversifying and building the participation of people with lived experience across all levels of our work. We already do lots of great things, but we are committed to doing more and to ensuring that people with lived experience are regularly involved from the start in shaping projects and working alongside staff with learnt experience and in meaningful ways.

We are a new team and you will work closely with the Volunteering and Participation Manager to introduce new processes and resources, and the People and Culture Administrator who handles volunteer and participation enquiries. This is an exciting time to join, with lots of opportunity to grow the diversity of the volunteers and participants involved, as well as the range of opportunities they are involved with.  You will recruit and onboard volunteers and participants directly and create new ways to keep them engaged and updated with the charities work and further opportunities. As well as work with colleagues across different teams to develop new roles and opportunities for volunteers and participants.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates who consider themselves to be from backgrounds which are under-represented in the charity sector.

This is a part time role (17.5 hours per week) which can be worked across 3 or 4 days, working from home and from our office in central London. There will be the opportunity to discuss working hours and hybrid working at interview and we can be flexible according to your preferences, as long as the needs of the role are met.

About You 

We are looking for someone who

• Is passionate about making a difference for volunteers and those affected by Pancreatic Cancer who want to participate in our work and supporting them to have a positive experience   
• Has experience of either developing and/or supporting volunteering or participation programmes and is keen to develop their knowledge in the area (volunteering or participation) they have less experience in.
• Is excited by the opportunity to find new ways to engage different people with our volunteering and participation opportunities and to welcome and support them in an inclusive way.

If this sounds like you – we’d love to hear from you!

  About Us

• Courageous
• Collaborative
• Compassionate

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and  background can think of no better way to do this than by ensuring that this role fully represents our intent therefore we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector.

Overview of FSUK

‘To put everything into one sentence. FSUK has positively changed my life in a time of darkness and I will forever be indebted to the charity for this. Thank you.’

Sam, Fowler’s Fox, 2022

Fowler’s Syndrome UK (Registered Charity number 1196903) is a unique patient and clinician led charity that works to raise awareness, promote education and encourage research into the debilitating bladder condition Fowler’s Syndrome. The condition solely affects women and Fowler’s Syndrome UK (FSUK) is the only charity in the world to directly support women with this condition.

Fowler’s syndrome is a life changing and currently almost untreatable condition, affecting up to 20,000 women in the UK. It  causes full or partial urinary retention and solely affects women*, meaning they have problems passing urine due to a difficulty in relaxing the urinary sphincter. The peak age of onset is 26. It was first described by Professor Clare Fowler, Emeritus professor of Uro-Neurology at UCLh, and FSUK’s patron, in 1985.

We estimate that there are in excess of 20,000 women in the UK suffering from, but not necessarily diagnosed with, the condition, because of the lack of knowledge about Fowler’s Syndrome both from a patient and clinician perspective.

85% of women with Fowler’s Syndrome say the condition has had a severe or devastating impact on their life.

75% of those with FS have been told their urinary symptoms are due to anxiety or ‘all in their head’

There is low awareness of the condition among the medical community outside of specialist hospitals. Only an estimated 30% of GPs are aware of Fowler’s Syndrome. Once diagnosed, there are few resources available for patients and limited treatment options. Many women feel alone and unsupported.

Our mission is to provide resources, promote education and facilitate research into Fowler’s syndrome; so women with the condition have stigma free access to a timely diagnosis, suitable and effective treatment options, care and psychological support.
