Starfish Project Coordinator

Working with Treasure Seekers

The ideal person for this role will have a passion to see people develop skills and change their lives for the better. You will need strong people skills, and be able to show patience and understanding whilst maintaining good professional boundaries. You’ll be part of a team, so good communication is key. You’ll also need to be self-motivated and confident working independently. Having a flexible and adaptable attitude is crucial, because the needs of those we work with can change quickly. A good level of emotional resilience is definitely an asset, and a non-judgemental approach to mental health, recovery, and relapse. In all of our roles, either an Enhanced or basic DBS check and two references will be required before you can start working for us. That’s just part of making sure everyone stays safe.

You’ll thrive at Treasure Seekers if you:

  • Really like people
  • Care about building real community
  • Feel like our vision and values resonate with you
  • Work in a person-centred way
  • Are passionate about both individual and system-level change
  • Understand that all behaviour happens for a reason
  • Can deliver service of the highest level to all kinds of people
  • Work well as part of a team
  • Can stay calm and not take things personally when someone’s having a tough day
  • Don’t mind things getting messy sometimes

What you’ll get from Treasure Seekers:

  • A team that actually cares about people’s lives improving
  • Leaders who are hands-on and grounded in the day-to-day as much as possible
  • A culture where feedback is welcomed. We listen, reflect, and act where appropriate
  • A creative, forward-thinking approach. We are always evolving to meet people’s real needs
  • Loads of opportunities to learn and grow
  • Flexible hours (within business needs)
  • Supportive team culture that embraces neurodivergence and mental health
  • Clear policies and procedures to keep everyone safe and treated fairly
  • Casual dress code
  • Clear accountability – we work to high standards, with oversight and contracts from the NHS and local council

Support you’ll get with us:

  • Access to our HR and Health & Safety platform
  • Regular line management support
  • 24/7 access to The Wellbeing Line – free, confidential mental health and wellbeing support from qualified professionals, available to everyone, plus consultations for anyone managing others
  • An open-door culture. You’re encouraged to speak up and supported when you do
  • Reflection and debriefs after challenging situations
  • Flexibility and understanding when life happens or things get tough
  • Clear boundaries and escalation routes so you’re not carrying things on your own
