Volunteer Coordinator

We are looking for a part time Volunteer Coordinator to join our small team at a very exciting time of growth for our charity. 

Change for Good recently grew from a local mentoring charity in HMP Wandsworth to an innovative resettlement charity serving 4 London prisons. 

We provide prison leavers with one-to-one mentoring and welcome them into our peer-led support group Next Chapter Community.  

The Volunteer Coordinator will be self-motivating and energetic, with experience and heart for vulnerable people leaving prison. They will be comfortable working with members with lived experience of the justice system, and with using interpersonal skills to develop relationships with diverse communities and congregations who may be a source of volunteers. They will be engaging and recruiting potential volunteers and managing and equipping volunteers in their work. The Volunteer Coordinator will have empathy with Change for Good’s faith-based values and ethos.

Our office is in Stockwell, London. 

About Us

Initially, the charity was set up by a resettlement chaplain as a small project to serve those leaving HMP Wandsworth. Since 2020 CFG has expanded to work as a pan-London charity, in four additional prisons: HMP Brixton, HMP Highdown, HMP Wormwood Scrubs and HMP Ford (an open prison in Sussex that sends many men back to London). 

Over the last decade CFG has developed a strong reputation across HM Prison service, Probation offices and third sector charities for going the extra mile with advocacy and support to secure positive outcomes for our members.

The strength of CFG’s work lies in the support provided by our volunteer mentors, peer support among our members, and our partnerships with charities and services across the criminal justice sector that enable our members to access the support they require to overcome diverse and complex barriers.
