Background
Celynen Collieries Miners Institute & Memorial Hall (trading as Newbridge Memo Ltd) is a registered charity (Charity #: 1137112).
Based in Newbridge in the South Wales Valleys, Newbridge Memo is a historical miners' institute and working men's club, and now a multi-purpose heritage community arts centre. Housing a library, reading rooms, and one of the finest examples of an art deco cinema complemented by a ballroom and small theatre. It is home to several full-time tenants, including the Newbridge Library (Caerphilly County Council Libraries), Local MS Rhiannon Passmore’s Constituency Office and NONaffArt, an art collective.
The Memo, given its’ stunning 446 seat art deco theatre, ballroom and other public spaces, aspires to be a thriving arts/cultural organisation and the Board of Trustees and Team are looking for a person with the shared vision and drive to support this transformation as we lead up to the building’s centenary in 2025.

Main Purpose of the Role
Newbridge Memo has a small but dedicated team which we are looking to strengthen with an exciting new part-time role within the venue.
With responsibility for implementing a robust and rewarding volunteering programme, the volunteer coach & coordinator will work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure that volunteering aligns with our organisational aims, whilst equally attending to the volunteer team well-being and positive volunteer experience. A whole team approach to the design and development of the programme will ensure that the project is understood and valued by all staff members, who will contribute to the project to ensure it achieves its aims.
The programme will develop peer support groups and a volunteer supporters network. We believe that peer support can be used as a tool not only to aid in an individual’s mental health journey but to support people to build their own skills, confidence and resilience while working with diverse groups including those with learning or physical disabilities, dementia, older people, carers, children and young people and those with poor mental health.
