About Bfriend

Bfriend is a young person–centred befriending service supporting children and young people to build confidence, develop positive relationships, and feel less isolated. We work closely with families, volunteers, and partner agencies to provide safe, supportive, and meaningful befriending relationships.

We are looking for a motivated, organised, and values-driven Project Coordinator to join our small and friendly staff team. This is a varied and rewarding role, ideal for someone who enjoys working with young people, supporting volunteers, and coordinating services that make a real difference.

The Role

As Project Coordinator, you will play a key role in the day-to-day delivery of our befriending service. You will recruit, train, and support volunteers, manage a caseload of young people and befriending matches, and work collaboratively with families, referrers, and partner agencies. You will also contribute to service development, funding activity, and wider organisational goals.

This post requires flexibility, strong communication skills, and a good understanding of safeguarding and risk management when working with children and young people.
