The role

With Ace of Clubs, homelessness charity approaching their 30th Anniversary Year, this is an impactful and engaging time to join the charity.  Your role as Community and Volunteering Co-ordinator will be pivotal in these developments.

You will be supporting, coordinating and administrating the charity’s amazing supporters and volunteers.  This requires sustaining and building strong relationships with those who generously contribute in various ways—whether through time, money, practically or professionally.   Our supporters and volunteers are key for the charity's sustainability. 

Our supporters and volunteers are from diverse backgrounds, range in age, and include individuals (including our service users who also volunteer), community groups and corporate teams.  Their contributions are essential for the running of our charity - that provides transformative, daily support for those who are marginalised and experiencing homelessness; including safety, food, warmth, clothing, laundry, showers, IT suite and access to casework and healthcare - all onsite at our warm and welcoming community drop-in.

About You
You need strong administrative, writing, and Microsoft office skills. Additionally, you have a positive mindset and can adapt to a wide range of individuals, from those who use our services to our supporters, volunteers and corporate partners.

While experience working for a charity is not necessarily required, empathy and understanding for individuals experiencing homelessness is essential.

You could be someone looking for an opportunity to grow and develop your career within the charity sector, or someone with extensive experience seeking a more philanthropic and fulfilling role.

Most importantly, you are willing to embrace an environment that is full of compassion and support, but can also be reactive and busy.
