The LERO focuses on three key priorities:
- Peer Support – building recovery communities through activities, events and mutual support
- Advocacy – improving access to services and amplifying lived experience voices
- Quality – helping improve accessibility and standards across services in Nottinghamshire
What you’ll be doing
You’ll lead on coordinating volunteers and supporting the Leadership Committee to thrive.
Key responsibilities include:
- Recruiting, onboarding, training and supporting volunteers
- Coordinating the Leadership Committee and Community Engagement Worker
- Helping shape policies, structures and systems for the organisation
- Building strong relationships with partners, commissioners and stakeholders
- Monitoring performance, reporting progress and meeting KPIs
- Overseeing compliance including GDPR, DBS and safer recruitment processes
- Coordinating training opportunities, including recognised qualifications
- Promoting the LERO across meetings, events and networks
What we’re looking for
We’d love to hear from you if you are:
- Passionate about recovery, inclusion and community empowerment
- Experienced in volunteer coordination, community development or similar roles
- A confident relationship-builder with excellent communication skills
- Highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities
- Comfortable working independently while supporting others to lead
- Motivated by creating long-term social impact
This is more than a job, it’s a chance to help create a lasting, community-led organisation that changes lives across Nottinghamshire.
