Community Volunteers Enabling You (COVEY) has operated across Lanarkshire for 32 years supporting 5,000 children, young people and parents/carers to become more resilient, safe and better equipped to reach their full potential. COVEY provides 1-1 and group-based befriending, mentoring and family support.
COVEY has an exciting opportunity available for a Coordinator to manage delivery of 1-1 and group-based befriending/mentoring support to children and young people. COVEY’s consistent relationship-based support, which is centred on the participant’s needs, interests and hopes, improves health and wellbeing, social connections, confidence and increases their engagement with education, training, volunteering or employment.
As a Coordinator, you will have the ability to work collaboratively with children, young people, their families and others who support them. This will involve engaging with various community, statutory and voluntary agencies and working in close partnership to support vulnerable families. You would ideally have experience of supporting volunteers, managing a caseload, evaluation and monitoring. We are looking for someone who has a real passion around supporting those who are most vulnerable in our community.
