Volunteer Roles
Purpose
An Oxfordshire Youth Hospital Navigator Volunteer will provide support to Oxfordshire Youth staff and young people within our Hospital Navigator scheme. The post holder will passionately believe in the potential of all young people to achieve their goals.
An Oxfordshire Youth, Hospital Navigators Volunteer will be an advocate for young people.
Oxfordshire Youth Hospital Navigators Volunteers do not have fixed hours, but commit to flexible hours to suit their availability and staff needs. Shifts are available 7 days per week.
Join our dynamic team YPSA Team to coordinate the ground-breaking Intervention programme - Hospital Navigator. With an increase in the number of young people presenting at emergency departments due to serious violence, mental health issues, and substance abuse, we are addressing an urgent need for signposting young people to support services following discharge from A&E.
The Hospital Navigators will establish trust with young people who arrive at the JR hospital due to pre-existing concerns such as substance addiction, mental health issues, personal care, and violence itself. When in the hospital, there is an opportunity for the young person to reflect and be open to intervention. A volunteer in a dedicated Navigator role would request permission to refer the young person to a third-party agency that can provide the necessary specialist support. This moment may assist in redirecting the young person back into the community via a different pathway. The volunteer would connect them with a local support agency/charity that would assist them in reintegrating into the community, building resilience, and providing mentoring to prevent repeat occurrences that could lead to their hospitalisation.
The Navigator Coordinator will supervise Hospital Navigator volunteers. Once the navigator has gained the young person's trust and agreement, they will prepare an assessment and referral form that includes the type of difficulties, services available for referral, and the type of communication the client prefers.
Main volunteering duties
● Work within a busy A&E and the Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) within JR hospital setting
● Liaise with the triage nurse team once people are medically cleared, to screen and offer signposting to appropriate services outside of the hospital
● Liaise with the A&E rapid response team to identify patients readmitted multiple times, and offer information to try to help reduce further re-admission
● Require administrative skills and be able to use IT, including finding out information from the internet on where and how to access services.
● Work within a team of people including doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists.
● Some important skills include good communication with people, and the ability to listen and build trust in a relatively short time frame.
This role profile is subject to amendment following discussion with the post holder and daily tasks will be determined by the needs of the young people and staff.
What you will gain
You will gain valuable experience and receive high-quality training to ensure you feel confident and motivated to support different aspects of Youth work. You will learn about teamwork, building and maintaining groups and recognising group dynamics.
Available training includes Safeguarding Levels 1 and 2 and GDPR. In addition, it will be possible to have further discussions about available opportunities for a Diploma in Youth Work Practice. Please note that some of this training is mandatory and you will only be able to volunteer if you complete this training.
All volunteers must undergo a DBS check.
Equipment will be provided.

● Regular one-to-ones with a member of OY staff appointed to support you during your time with us.

1625 Independent People (1625ip) has been working with young people in the South West for over 40 years. They are award winning experts in providing services for young homeless people, care leavers, those at risk and young people who offend. Despite multiple and complex needs, over 80% of the young people they support go on to succeed.
They provide much more than just a safe home for young people. They give them a network of people they can trust and a range of specialist support in areas, for example mental health and jobs coaching. A major part of their work is supporting young people into Education, Employment and Training. They offer young people opportunities they’ve never had, giving them a chance to believe in themselves, take healthy risks and to play a positive part in their communities.
2024 onwards is an unbelievably exciting time for 1625ip, as, alongside their excellent day to day work, they have some major projects in their early stages including the renovation of their grade 2 listed HQ Kingsley Hall on old Market with a cafe and new training spaces.
They are now seeking the following:
· One Fundraising Expert – with significant high-level experience in charity fundraising.
· One expert in any field but we are particularly interested in those with experience of one or more of the following: commercial, community or social enterprises; senior roles in housing management or social care.
· We welcome applications from first time Director/ Trustees and will provide full induction and support.
As a Board Member, you will use your skills, knowledge and experience to work collaboratively with the organisation’s Executive team to achieve the highest standards of operational performance throughout 1625ip.
You will be supported on your Board Member journey by a full induction programme and the opportunity to have a Board Buddy to help settle into your new role.
There are 5 evening Board meetings a year, 3-4 additional committee meetings (most in the evenings), an away day and several events with young people who use our services. The young people events are optional but are very informative and fun.
To access the Information Pack and submit an application, please contact Vanessa Moon or Sandy Hinks
Equal opportunities for everyone
1625ip believe those with a criminal record should have an equal chance to become employees or volunteers and encourage applications.
As an organisation who safeguard and promote the safety and welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, any job offer will depend on a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We comply fully with the DBS code of practice and undertake to treat all applications for positions fairly. For successful candidates with a criminal record, a risk assessment process will take place with the recruiting manager.
We also pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities employer for everyone regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion and beliefs, sex and sexual orientation.
What young people say
“I feel like I am able to get on with stuff better now even though sometimes I might not feel up to it and I don’t think I’d be working in this job if it wasn’t for 1625’s help.”
“The heritage project has opened me up to new experiences I would never have thought I would get from cooking, and zine making to photography. I love to see where the project will go in the future.”
1625 Independent People has retained Moon Executive Search to manage this campaign and are therefore unable to accept CVs from third party agencies. All CV’s and expression of interest received will be forwarded directly to Moon Executive Search for consideration

Our Interim Chair says, "I was an admirer and user of Action Hampshire’s services for many years as a CEO of a local charity, and for the last 6 years have been involved as an Action Hampshire Trustee. At a time when the voluntary and community sector, and the people they serve are under severe pressure, Action Hampshire’s promotion and support for a healthy, vibrant sector has never been more needed.
Trustees and staff share a vision of community-led action; the power of true partnership; the channelling of voluntary effort; and of public service defined by its values and directed at offering hope and practical support to the most vulnerable.
Our Trustees are diverse, focussed, clear about our role, supportive, deeply committed to the work of Action Hampshire, and very proud of our brilliant staff team.
We are a year into the delivery of our 3 year strategy, moving towards financial sustainability, a uniquely coherent identity, and a healthy and supportive staff culture in which people feel in control of their work; and we’re aiming to use all the benefits of technology to become more digitally smart, connected, informed, efficient and so even more effective.
If you share this vision, have the sort of leadership qualities we describe, and if, like us, you are inspired by Action Hampshire’s history and potential, we would love to hear from you."
We work collaboratively in support of strong, connected and equitable communities.
