About Us

At Unfold, we have been supporting young people and families across Westminster and its neighbouring boroughs for over 30 years. Our vision is to empower individuals to overcome barriers and achieve their goals through mentoring and peer support. We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Programme Coordinator to join our small but committed team, playing a pivotal role in delivering high-quality mentoring programmes and women's support groups.

The Role

You ll support the Programme Manager in coordinating the logistics and delivery of our mentoring services, which include our flagship Mentoring for Mothers programme and its adaptation, Mentoring for Mothers Welcome, tailored to support asylum-seeking women and their children.

From the initial application stage to conducting assessments and making the all-important mentor-mentee matches, you ll ensure that everyone feels supported and valued throughout their journey with us. You ll also be a crucial point of contact for our volunteer mentors, providing training and supervision, answering queries, and ensuring they feel confident in their roles.

In addition, you ll take an active role in the coordination of our Women Support Groups, which help to foster a sense of community and solidarity. You ll be responsible for ensuring sessions run smoothly, supporting facilitators, and actively promoting our mentoring programmes to group attendees. Your proactive nature will help strengthen our relationships with external partners and support the development of new opportunities for our service users.

About You

You'll have a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable families and individuals, especially those from diverse and complex backgrounds The ideal candidate will have a background in community support or volunteer management, with strong communication skills and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life. You should be confident working independently but also thrive as part of a small, close-knit team.

An understanding of the challenges faced by asylum seekers and refugees is crucial, as is a solid grasp of safeguarding principles and experience implementing them. You ll be organised, with a knack for managing multiple priorities, and tech-savvy enough to navigate our CRM system, Beacon, to keep all our records in order.

Experience working with community groups or delivering programmes in a charity setting would be a bonus. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who can speak additional languages relevant to our service users, such as Pashtu, Dari, Urdu, Arabic, or Farsi, although this is not essential
