Join us and help reduce loneliness and isolation in 2024. At the No.1 Befriending Agency we want older people to thrive in later life and live happy, healthy lives. Working with our dedicated volunteers we provide 1 to 1 befriending support. Our work helps older people stay connected with their communities, alleviating loneliness, improving health and wellbeing and making communities stronger through volunteering. Our 90 second film, https://vimeo.com/648991073, filmed to celebrate our Social Enterprise Scotland Award lets you hear what our service users have to say about our organisation.

As our Lead Volunteer Coordinator you will perform a vital function in leading a small team in delivering our 1-2-1 and group befriending services across specific Glasgow areas. Your focus on ensuring the successful operation of our day to day work will play a key role in transforming the lives of individuals and leaving lasting legacies. You will engage with service users, volunteers, referrers and other third sector organisations on a daily basis.

With an impressive track record in volunteer management, experience of overseeing project outcomes, combined with a ‘let’s make it happen’ mindset, you will be looking for your next challenge. Occasional evening and weekend working could be necessary.
