About you:
If you have a background in volunteer coordination or management and have experience of managing funded projects, we would love to
hear from you. We are exceptionally proud of the achievements of the Street Pastors and are looking for someone really special to
take the lead of this impactful community project.
With a background in administration, you will be naturally organised with fantastic attention to detail. You will be a confident
communicator, a people person, who seeks out conversation and enjoys being with people. Your caring nature means you will be able
to work with our volunteers and the people we support with ease.
This is a really varied role where you will be able to get involved with all elements of running a project. From events planning,
recruitment, managing budgets and overseeing safeguarding, you will be able to draw on the diverse range of experienced you will
have gain in previous roles.
Due to the way this project is funded through the Ascension Trust, you will need to be a Christian, as with all our volunteer
Street Pastors.
Working 15 hours per week, we think 5 hours over 3 days would work well but we can be quite flexible to fit around your other
commitments and those of the role. There will be a requirement to be on the rota yourself once a month on either a Friday or
Saturday night. This would count towards your weekly hours.
Based from the Malt Cross in Nottingham City Centre, the YMCA Robin Hood Group are delighted to support the great work of the
Street Pastors by providing the central meeting point and a place to work.
