Role

About us:

EATS Rosyth is a small charity with a strong reputation in our community. Our Vision is to Inspire everyone to Grow, Nourish and Share. We welcome everyone to our EATS Hub, EATS Living Room Cafe, and EATS Community Garden and Centenary Orchard. We aim to build a vibrant and resilient community where we actively improve health and social inclusion. We have a strong reputation for recruiting, training, supporting and retaining a diverse group of volunteers to support all our activities in the EATS Hub and across the organisation. We have a strong inclusive volunteer culture that encourages collaboration and personal growth for everyone irrespective of background.

About the Role:

The Hub Volunteer Mentor post will greatly enhance our ability to support volunteers with disabilities and the number we can support on shift in the Hub. The Hub Volunteer Mentor will:

• Meet with volunteers with disabilities to build a relationship and make a support plan with them, implement, review and adapt the plans.
• Provide direct or indirect support for them whilst they are on shift.
• Build and support a Volunteer Mentor Group so there will be ongoing benefit after the funding is complete in 12 months.

However, additional funding will be sought to enable the post to continue. Pay review will be completed April 2025.

The Hub Volunteer Mentor will join a friendly and dedicated staff and volunteer team and be well supported by the General Manager and the Volunteer Development Coordinator.

About You:

Some of the qualities for this post include:

• Experience working with individuals with disabilities, preferably in a volunteer or community setting.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to build rapport and relationships with a diverse range of people.
• Being self-motivated and able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Approachable manner but able to hold boundaries.
• Being able to work within at times a pressured food delivery environment.
