 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.

Severn Wye is looking for a caring, confident individual to support people facing fuel poverty and champion energy efficiency.

This role is at the forefront of what we do as an organisation. You will be working across Gloucestershire or Heerfordshire or South Gloucestershire , visiting people in their own homes and giving advice at community events.

This role is home-based but requires extensive travel within the area. It can be either full or part time.

As a Community-based Energy Adviser, you will focus on supporting and educating individuals and families who face barriers to accessing energy services and may be in fuel poverty. You will be working with people in their homes or advising them at events in their local community. You will support them through the process of managing and reducing debt, accessing funding and engaging with smart technology.

This can be a demanding role – some of your clients will be facing huge challenges – but it is extremely rewarding and you will be making a measurable difference to people’s quality of life. You will give at-risk consumers the knowledge and confidence to be more engaged in their energy use and able to make sound decisions to manage it — ultimately putting money back in their pockets and improving their resilience and wellbeing. You will be a positive, intuitive and caring ally, empowering people who are overwhelmed by the world of energy and who may be facing multiple economic and societal challenges.

A DBS check will be needed: Severn Wye will pay for this.

We’ll provide the training you need to help you grow in your role and get to grips with the energy landscape. You’ll start on 24 days annual leave increasing to 29 days, plus bank holidays. You’ll have excellent support for the future such as Group Life Assurance and a company pension scheme with employer contributions of 7% when you put in 5% or more. We get together regularly for social events and look after you outside work hours with employee discounts on a range of outlets, including discounted gift cards and cashback.
