We’re recruiting a Befriending Co-ordinator (Hearing Loss and BSL Services).

Thanks to extended National Lottery funding, we’re able to grow our befriending service supporting Deaf people, BSL users, and people with hearing loss who may be experiencing loneliness or social isolation.

This is a people-focused role working closely with volunteers and service users to help build meaningful, supportive connections that make a real difference.

You don’t need to know BSL already. We’re looking for someone who is organised, compassionate, and passionate about inclusion, and we’ll support you to learn and develop in the role.

The post is full-time, based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire.

To apply, please email your CV and a supporting statement to [email protected] and
