Voluntary Action Rotherham (VAR) is the lead body for supporting, developing and promoting the voluntary and community sector (VCS) in the Rotherham Borough.

Our role is to facilitate effective action to bring about positive change in the lives of individuals and communities in the local area.

The First Step programme aims to bridge the gap between engagement work within the VCS and formal employability offers available through key stakeholders.

As VCS Employability Co-ordinator, you will be responsible for engaging with VCS groups as well as beneficiaries to raise awareness of employability issues in order to promote offers and increase referrals to those offers.

As well as delivering a Supported Volunteering Program, working with those furthest away from the job market, you will also manage and deliver the commissioning of small contracts with the VCS and build an active and inclusive network for those groups interested in supporting employability outcomes.
