The Benefits
This is a fantastic opportunity for an organised and attentive individual with an interest in developing activities and services that support older people to join our charity and make a positive difference to communities and individuals alike.
Older people are at the heart of everything we do and your role will be key to understanding the issues that are currently affecting them, what their interests are and most importantly, what we can do to make a positive impact to their lives through the provision of our services and activities.
So, if you are keen to get involved in the charity sector and are looking for a rewarding career, we want to hear from you.
The Role
As a Service Co-ordinator, you will be responsible for the smooth running of our Mid Sussex, Chichester or Crawley operations and services.
Working closely with the Development Manager, you will help oversee the administration of the building or locality. You will ensure that buildings, activities and services are well prepared, managed and delivered to a high standard.
Acting as the go-to person for the building or locality, you will answer all enquiries in a friendly, professional and efficient manner by phone and by email as well as managing any social media sites.
In addition, you will:
- Gather insights on issues or interests affecting local older people
- Develop an activity programme which reflects older peoples’ needs and wants
- Help design and deliver engaging promotional materials to market the building and/or activities
- Act as a keyholder, opening the building/venue(s) as required
About You

- An understanding of, and interest in, older people, their situations and the opportunities they may want and/or need
- An understanding of safeguarding and ability to follow policies and procedures in this and other areas
- A commitment to equality across all aspects of this role
- Excellent IT and computer skills including good working knowledge of email, Excel and Microsoft Office
- The ability to efficiently travel or work flexibly which may include different sites or locations
Experience of working or volunteering with older people would be beneficial to your application, as would experience or knowledge of building management and knowledge of relevant health and safety regulations in relation to this.
The ability to design and produce creative and effective marketing to help promote services or the centre would be advantageous, as would a full driving licence and use of a car in order to travel in the local community, as required.
