Since 1998 Mentoring Plus has been supporting children and young people struggling with education, family and emotional wellbeing. Every week our trained volunteer mentors, skilled professionals and youth workers reach over 150 young people across our region, offering time and space to get out of the house, pursue positive interests and reflect on the issues affecting them. Young people tell us they feel happier, safer, more able to cope in the classroom and more confident about the future. Families appreciate better home relationships and direct support with school and accessing adult services. Schools report that students engage better with education, are more resilient and enjoy improved relationships, and staff are more able to understand individual needs and work alongside families to support them. Based in Bath and working across Bath & NE Somerset and the surrounding region, Mentoring Plus has trebled in size in the last ten years and now has 22 staff and a turnover over £800,000. It holds two local authority commissions for mentoring services and has a growing paid service project as part of a diversified funding strategy.

As a community charity, we rely on contacts and introductions to potential supporters, volunteers or businesses in our region and beyond, so this is a key requirement of Board members. We also ask Trustees to help with hosting events connecting with our community and raising funds from time to time. All new Trustees have a careful induction process and a buddy system to ensure they feel able to access information and contribute to discussions. The Board meets for about two hours at least every two months, in person or online, and corresponds with the executive team regularly in between. Pre-agreed expenses can be claimed.

    Job opportunity at Golden Oldies - Sing & Smile Session Leader Previous Job Next Job How we brighten lonely lives Our Goldies sessions are fun social groups aimed at older isolated adults, where people come together to sing-along to the popular memory evoking music of the 50s onwards, stretch, smile and laugh. These uplifting daytime sessions bring joy and offer all important opportunities for people to create supportive friendships and links to their local community. It is important to understand that ‘Goldies’ is NOT a choir, our sessions are based on fun times where singing is at the heart, but smiling is the reason. Cliff Richard is Patron. As a Goldies Session Leader you are responsible for providing and assisting in the development of our fun inclusive Sing&Smile sessions. Leaders will have a love of music, an enthusiastic personality with empathy and patience for those attending sessions and a commitment to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable people from local communities. The majority of those attending Goldies sessions across England and Wales are people aged over 60. However since the charity started in 2007 the profile of those attending has changed quite considerably. Many people who attend are fairly active and able but in recent years the number of people attending who are living with dementia has increased as well as attendees with Learning Difficulties, their carers and people with mental health issues. As a Leader you will involve everyone attending in the sessions, listening and adapting the session to suit participants mood or need through the fun sing-a-long style session. Your role is one of the most important ones within our charity as you will be the ‘face’ of Goldies and as more and more sessions are added, one of a team of over 40 leaders across England and Wales. What makes a great Goldies Leader? When asked about Session Leaders, Chief Officer Grenville Jones often replies; ‘There is an obvious comparison between leading a Goldies session and being an entertainment officer at a holiday camp! It is that ability to stand in front of a group of people, to engage with them, understand their needs and make them leave the session looking forward to the next one.’ Our Leaders are provided with a full set of equipment including an iPod and songbooks, or an iPad and projector and full training. Leaders can run one session per month or as many as they can fit in. Goldies sessions take place on the same day of the month - 1st Tuesday or 3rd Monday for example - and either morning or early afternoon. Session leading is an excellent way of supporting your local community, if you're interested in the role please contact Emma at the Goldies office on 01761 470006 or email emma@golden-oldies.org.uk < All Jobs Sing & Smile Session Leader Salary: £25 per session plus 40ppm mileage allowance (or Volunteer) Hours: 1.5 hours per session Contract Type: Part Time, Freelance Location: Bath, Paulton, Keynsham – B&NES Close Date: Saturday, 31 August 2024 Email Contact: emma@golden-oldies.org.uk < All Jobs Previous Job Next Job Apply for Job
