Programmes Coordinator

  • Full-time
  • 18-month Contract
  • 28,875 -29,552
  • UK Hybrid, this role is expected to travel around the UK, a minimum of once a month

About Stemettes
We’re Stemettes. An award-winning social enterprise working to engage, inform and connect the next generation of girls, young women and non-binary people into Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM). We run a variety of programmes, workshops, and events that are designed to make STEAM accessible and relatable to young people who are typically underrepresented in these fields.

You’d be working within a fully hybrid organisation located across the UK, including freelancers and admins who ensure the smooth running of Stemettes interventions and outreach work.

 

About the Role

As the Programmes Coordinator, you will handle end-to-end mentor support across recruitment, onboarding, matching, ongoing check-ins, issue resolution, and offboarding. There are no line management responsibilities in this role; this is a delivery-focused position working closely with our existing Programmes Coordinator to ensure smooth programme operations, hit matching and completion targets, and maintain high feedback scores and our safeguarding protocol. This role will report into the Delivery Hub Director.

This role demands strong organisation to balance multiple priorities while delivering a welcoming, supportive experience for all participants. It is a hands-on, collaborative role for someone full of energy and highly accountable. You’ll thrive if you enjoy working autonomously and collaboratively, are detail-oriented, and are passionate about making a difference in young people’s lives. You can explore the key responsibilities for this role below.

✓ Serve as the main point of contact for mentor programme participants.
✓ Provide personalised support to mentors end-to-end: conducting interviews, leading onboarding/training sessions, completing DBS checks, matching mentors with mentees, running regular check-ins, organising mentor/mentee programme events, managing issues, mitigating risks, and handling offboarding and feedback.

Volunteer Coordination

✓ Serve as the main point of contact in Volunteer Management Systems for potential mentors.
✓ Provide personalised support to potential mentor volunteers: answering messages, having 1:1 calls with volunteers, offboarding mentors from the Volunteer Management System, and managing issues.
✓ Engage the volunteer community to maintain relationships.
✓ Outreach to volunteer networks to increase the mentor sign-ups.

Resource and Workshop Development

✓ Create and enhance resources to enrich mentoring sessions.
✓ Collaborate with the current Programmes Coordinator to develop new workshops based on feedback.

If this travel is not part of your working hours, you will receive your time back in the form of TOIL, which is to be taken within 1 month of receiving it.
