Job description

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

An exciting opportunity has arisen at the NSPCC Young Witness Service for an enthusiastic and dynamic individual to join the team.

The NSPCC Young Witness Service is currently delivering services supporting young people who are required to attend court as prosecution witnesses. The successful candidate would develop skills and experience working within these themes.

We are looking for:

A volunteer co-ordinator with the ability to plan and deliver training to volunteers to support young people and their families through the court process, the ability to identify risk, and have experience of child protection intervention as well as up-to-date knowledge of legislation, research, and best practice.

Within Young Witness Support's overall aim of ensuring that children have access to justice, the particular purpose of this post is to promote and implement the positive involvement of volunteers with YWS, including the coordination of recruitment, training, development, and retention of volunteer supporters.

This is an exciting time for the NSPCC, with staff at all levels engaging in a range of new projects and developments. You will have a manageable caseload, excellent training, and development opportunities.

This is your opportunity to contribute to service development not only in terms of direct work but also to get involved in evaluation, influencing, and dissemination of learning and have the opportunity to be part of an exciting new strategy to help end cruelty to children.

You must hold a full UK driver's license with access to a car and be willing to undertake business travel as part of the role. There is some home working involved as well as substantive travel across Northern Ireland to provide support across different sites.
