Community and Clubs Coordinator in Winchester

Central Office in Winchester, with an expectation of travel to other working locations. £28,000 per annum, 35 hours per week.

Closing date: Sunday 5 April, midnight. Interviews will be held Wednesday 15 April and Friday 17 April at The Old Malthouse, Victoria Road, Winchester, SO23 7DU.

The Brendoncare Foundation are recruiting a Community and Clubs Coordinator to support the Clubs and Community Team across all functions of our membership offer and the clubs we provide for members. We have hundreds of members and volunteers across Hampshire and this role will involve active coordination and support for them, whether that means assisting Locality Managers with administrative functions, stepping in to support a club if there is an absence, getting creative with leaflets and promotions, managing database related tasks centrally, and being efficient and quality focused in ways which will support the growth of our range of services.

The role would suit someone who enjoys working at pace, enjoys interacting with and supporting people and who has a high level of attention to detail and some experience in administration. A positive can-do attitude is a must, as is a willingness to be a keen representative of our values as a charity. While this role is based in our Central Office in Winchester, it has an expectation of flexibility around working location, enabling travel to our clubs as needed. Our Community Hubs are in Otterbourne, Knightwood (Eastleigh) and Gosport, with other standalone clubs also running in Fareham, West End, Chandler’s Ford and Weeke in Winchester for our members.

This role is full time, 35 hours per week, with an hour allocation for lunch each day. On occasion, there may be a need for additional time spent in your role if there are any unexpected incidents, for which you will receive TOIL, with the agreement of your line manager.

What will I be doing?

• Taking an active role in assisting our Locality Managers and other colleagues to run our clubs and support services, assisting in their smooth running and ensuring that our members and volunteers are always safe and supported.
• Championing the importance of working closely with our members to help the team develop and coordinate the opening of future clubs and services.
• Leading on any key administrative functions related to Brendoncare Membership, with a focus on Clubs, and maintaining evidence of our charitable impact, including reporting and helping to gather feedback through surveys and forums, as directed by your line manager.
• Assisting the team in relation to enquiries from the community around clubs and membership and liaising with other teams as needed to direct enquiries to those most able to help across the organisation.
• Helping to coordinate our work with other internal teams within Brendoncare wherever needed and being a fantastic representative for our services externally.
• Supporting our two Locality Managers in relation to covering clubs as and when is needed, to include carrying out safety checks or helping to plan events and special occasions, as directed.
• Being an active role model to your colleagues and an advocate of the Brendoncare values at all times.

What do I need to have to apply?

Essential:

• Strong organisational and administrative skills with attention to detail.
• Friendly, approachable, and supportive with members, volunteers, and colleagues.
• Confidence in relation to community engagement, with a willingness to act as a key secondary line of support related to supporting members, including occasionally stepping in to run clubs during periods of volunteer or colleague absence (both in-person and online).
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Proactive, reliable, collaborative team player with the ability to work independently.
• Proficient in all Microsoft Office applications (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams, etc.).
• Knowledge of GDPR, Health & Safety, and risk management principles.
• Experience using CRM or Database systems.
• Must hold a valid driving license and ability to work flexibly, including occasional travel to community clubs across Hampshire.

Desirable:

• Experience in administrative within community.
• Experience with membership management, reporting, or volunteer coordination is desirable.
• Awareness of confidentiality, GDPR, and safeguarding principles.

Benefits:

• 23 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing to 25 after 5 years).
• Comprehensive training and continuing personal development.
• Free initial DBS Check.
• Free on-site parking subject to availability.
• Access to our BUPA Employee Assistance Programme.
