Who we are:
As an award-winning charity, KEEN exists because children and adults with disabilities and additional needs are still not fully included in their communities, and this has to change! We create our own inclusive programme of sessions and projects for our children and adults to support and empower their development, assisted by our enthusiastic, friendly and active volunteer team, support other organisations to make their own provision open to all, and campaign more widely for a fairer inclusive society.
The Role:
Our Project Coordinator for In-Person activities in Oxford is a key leadership role at the heart of our sociable and fun team. You will coordinate all aspects of our inspiring and unique in-person session programme with six sessions a week spanning gardening to sports, recruit and support our exceptional volunteers, and be the primary contact for them and our community.
Each day as the KEEN Coordinator is very different. In one day, you might be a guest speaker in a local school or business, then running a Zig-Zag dinosaur themed crafts session for our under 10’s, before training new volunteers in adaptations they could use in our young adult’s drama session. On another day you might be in meetings with the local authority about enhancing inclusivity, finalising a KEEN fundraising application and then attending a volunteer social in the evening.
If those sounds like worthwhile days that you could see yourself making the most of: you could be our new Programme Coordinator.
