Project Coordinator - Gloucestershire Independent Visitors Service
An exciting opportunity for a Volunteer Coordinator has arisen for the right individual, to provide effective support to Sova’s Gloucestershire Independent Visitors project.
Our volunteer Independent Visitors offer long-term support and encouragement for looked after young people in Gloucestershire. We match each volunteer Independent Visitor with a child or young person who needs extra support and encouragement, sometimes because they have little or no contact with their own families. The volunteer is there as someone ‘independent’ in the young person’s life, distinct from the professionals paid to support them.
