Mavar is currently seeking a seasoned networker to join the Mavar Trustee Board as a Trustee with special responsibilities for strengthening our fundraising practice and broadening the charity’s donor base. Working with our Board and CEO, you’ll bring experience, insight and strategic guidance to help develop our fundraising capacity in support of the strategic development of the charity.

Mavar’s Mission

Founded on the belief that everyone has the right to choose their own path in life, Mavar’s central mission is to empower individuals who choose to explore opportunities beyond the strictly orthodox community to fulfil personal goals. Mavar supports our members’ efforts to achieve independence, live authentically and cope with the obstacles they may encounter as they explore options to live, work or study in the secular world – whether or not they choose to leave the Charedi community.

Mavar’s Service Users

Some men and women who have grown up in the closed world of the Charedi community hold personal and religious values that are not in line with the rest of the community. Attempts to follow their own path often bring them into direct confrontation with family, friends and neighbours who regard expressions of individualism or self-determination as heresy. These individuals fear that the community will ostracise them, leaving them feeling trapped, isolated and helpless.

Some may simply wish to explore options for obtaining a general education or improving their access to employment opportunities whilst wishing to remain within the ultra-orthodox community; others may look to divest themselves of the strictures of ultra-orthodoxy and to lead a more mainstream lifestyle. They all typically lack the everyday life skills to cope with the challenges of the secular world, which appears to them as a confusing, frightening and alien planet. Any effort to integrate with the outside, secular world is hampered by limited English language skills, cultural disorientation, lack of basic education or qualifications and negligible skills for employment.

Trustee Role Details

The day-to-day operations of Mavar are conducted by staff and volunteers under the leadership of our CEO and with the overall oversight of the Trustee Board.

Main Duties of the Fundraising Trustee:

• Contribute to the overall governance of the charity as a member of the Board of Trustees.
• Provide advice and support on fundraising strategy, ensuring income generation is planned and executed in alignment with Mavar’s budget framework and objectives.
• Act as a fundraising champion on Mavar’s board, working with the CEO and supporting other trustees to explore fundraising possibilities.
• If you have personal networks with fundraising potential, utilise them to support the work of the charity.
• Support the development of diverse fundraising streams (e.g. individual giving, trusts and foundations, community fundraising, corporate support) and advise and support with appeals and major fundraising events/campaigns.
• Act as an ambassador for the charity, promoting its work and helping to raise its profile.
• Ensure compliance with fundraising regulation and best practice, as well as Mavar’s policies and procedures.

You are expected to give at least one day per month to your role. Board meetings take place four times a year in London, with a mixture of online and in-person meetings and are complemented by occasional online or in-person feedback meetings with the CEO and the Treasurer.

Person Specification

Essential

• Commitment to the charity’s mission and values
• Understanding of the legal duties and responsibilities of charity trusteeship
• Knowledge and experience of fundraising (e.g. trusts, corporates, major donors, community fundraising, or digital campaigns)
• Strategic thinker, able to balance long-term planning with practical advice
• Strong communication and networking skills

Desirable

• Experience of charity fundraising
• Existing networks that could support the charity’s fundraising efforts
• Understanding of charity finance and/or marketing
• Familiarity with Jewish cultural context

REMIX IS CALLING. ARE YOU READY TO PAINT THE CITY?

London is moving. The culture is shifting. At REMIX, we’re launching a movement that is built on creativity, culture, and community. We aren’t just a charity; we’re a vibe. Based in the heart of Shoreditch, we’re here to smash barriers and empower young voices across the capital.

But to make an impact, we need to be seen. We need a squad of Graphic Designers to help us get recognised, build our brand, and show the world what a trendy, positive, youth-powered movement looks like.

CREATE THE HYPE, CAPTURE THE MAGIC

This isn't about making boring posters. This is about energy, pulse, and visual storytelling. You’ll be the creative engine that makes REMIX the most talked-about name in London.

• Shoreditch to the World: Use your skills to promote our mission across social media, the streets, and beyond. You’ll be helping us reach our goals by making sure our message is impossible to ignore.

• The "Feels": There’s nothing like the buzz of seeing your work on a screen or a street corner and knowing it’s inspiring a young person to take their next big step.

We are especially in need of guides and booklets, social media posts, visual images, business stationery, posters, flyers, info graphics, motion graphics, pull-up banners, branded website images, social media headers/avatars, and other needed items to help us REMIX become a positive change for good.

ARE YOU PART OF THE CREATIVE SQUAD?

If you have heart and a hustle for social change, we want you. We’re looking for:

• Vibrant & Trendy: You understand London’s creative scene. You know what’s "now" and you know how to make content that stops the scroll.

• Bold & Proactive: You don’t wait for a brief; you see a moment and you capture it. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get stuck into our new adventure.

• Authentic: You love the youth culture of this city and you’re passionate about using your talent to make a real difference.

"The world doesn't need more of the same. It needs a Remix."

We’re building something legendary in East London. The question is: Do you want your work to be the face of the revolution?

READY TO START CREATING?

We’re launching NOW and we need our creative frontline. If you’ve got the skills to make REMIX look as amazing as our mission is, let’s talk.

REMIX | EMPOWER. INSPIRE. TRANSFORM.

As we approach our 30th anniversary in 2028, we are looking for committed new trustees with energy, passion and time who will continue to drive us forward.

Musical talent is everywhere but opportunity isn't: family finances and other obstacles too often get in the way. Young Sounds is here to change this.

For nearly 30 years we've supported talented young people from low-income families, helping them to overcome financial and social barriers. Whether they're making or creating music our programmes help young musicians from across the UK to fulfil their musical potential.

Trustees are expected to engage with and support all aspects of the charity, helping to foster stakeholder relationships, representing the organisation regionally and nationally and ensuring compliance and safeguarding. 

Principal responsibilities are:

• Strategy - contributing actively to the formation of strategy, the Young Sounds business plan, and evaluating the performance of the organisation against the plan.
• Oversight - ensuring that the charity is well run, efficient and compliant with the charity's Articles of Association, its policies, including safeguarding and EDI, governance codes of practice, legal responsibilities and upholding the organisation's reputation and values.
• Advocacy - advocating for the charity at all times, supporting fundraising efforts and promoting the work of the charity in the trustee's daily life.

Requirements:

Previous trustee experience is not necessary, and we welcome trustees who can bring a diversity of life experiences, cultural knowledge and expertise.

As a national charity we are keen to attract trustees from all parts of the UK, and particularly those who are based outside London and the South East.

For this round, we particularly welcome expertise in the following areas:

• EDI and CSR programmes in the creative industries
• Youth culture and content creation
• Music Hub and/or National Curriculum expertise
• Fundraising
• Contemporary music performance and production

Above all we are looking for trustees who are passionate about, and willing to advocate strongly for, giving all young people the opportunity to have a musical life, particularly those facing the most barriers. We also expect trustees to have an overarching commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

Please see the Role Information Pack for full details including how to apply.

WANTED: THE ENGINE ROOM LEAD & CULTURE KEEPER.

REMIX IS CALLING. ARE YOU READY TO BUILD THE HUB?

London is moving. The culture is shifting. At REMIX, we’re not just building a charity; we’re building a movement from the heart of East London. To keep our pulse racing and our mission on track, we need a powerhouse Office Manager & Company Secretary.

This is the role for the ultimate organiser—the person who loves the "start-up" energy and wants to be the backbone of a brand-new adventure. We’re remixing the rules, and we need you to help us build the playground where it all happens.

THE HEART OF THE OPERATION

This isn't your average "sit-behind-a-desk" admin role. This is about structure, flow, and purpose. You are the glue that holds our youth-powered movement together.

• Founder-Member Energy: You’ll be setting up our first systems, finding our rhythm, and making sure our East London HQ is the most inspiring space in the city.

• The Governance Guru (Co-Sec): You’ll be the right hand to our Board of Trustees, making sure we’re not just making noise, but making a lasting impact that’s built on solid foundations.

• Get Stuck In: We are a start-up. One day you might be streamlining our tech, the next you’re helping a young person navigate their first day at the REMIX hub.

• The "Feels": You’ll be the person who creates the environment where young Londoners feel safe, heard, and empowered to lead.

ARE YOU THE SQUAD’S COORDINATOR?

We need a role model who is positive, proactive, and ready to roll up their sleeves. We’re looking for someone:

• Vibrant & Organised: You love a system, but you love people more. You keep the office buzzing and the paperwork perfect.

• Bold & Reliable: You aren’t afraid to take charge of the "nitty-gritty" to make sure the big vision succeeds.

• Authentic: You "get" the London vibe. You’re as comfortable chatting with our young members as you are managing a boardroom agenda.

"The world doesn't need more of the same. It needs a Remix."

Every great movement needs a mission control. Are you ready to be the one who keeps us moving forward?

READY TO START THE ADVENTURE?

We’re launching NOW and we need our Office Manager & Company Secretary to help us take off. If you have the heart, the hustle, and the organisational magic to help us build the best youth charity in the country, we want you.

WANTED: THE VOICE OF THE GENERATION.

REMIX IS CALLING. ARE YOU THE ONE TO PASS THE MIC?

London is moving. The culture is shifting. At REMIX, we don’t just work for young people—we are led by them. We are a brand-new, youth-powered movement launching in East London, and we’re looking for a Youth Participation & Co-Production Manager to make sure the youth voice isn't just heard, but is actually in charge.

This is the role for the connector, the hype-person, and the advocate. If you believe that young Londoners should be the architects of their own future, we need you to help us build the blueprint.

CHAMPION THE SQUAD, DRIVE THE CHANGE

This isn't a "sit-back-and-watch" role. This is about action, influence, and empowerment. You will be the bridge between the street-level energy and the boardroom table.

• Build the Leadership: You’ll facilitate our Youth Committee and Young Leadership Programme, turning raw potential into the next generation of London’s power players.

• Lead the Ambassadors: You’ll recruit and nurture a squad of Youth Ambassadors—the face and heart of REMIX—ensuring they represent the real needs of young Londoners at events and meetings.

• Co-Production King/Queen: You’ll make sure young people are involved in everything—from sitting on recruitment panels and delivering training to shaping how the charity actually runs.

• The "Feels": Nothing beats the buzz of watching a young person find their voice and realize they have the power to change the city. You’ll be the one who gave them the platform.

ARE YOU THE ULTIMATE EMPOWERER?

We need a role model who is vibrant, authentic, and ready to roll up their sleeves. We’re looking for someone:

• Vibrant & Engaging: You know how to talk to young people in a way that’s real. You can walk into any community space in London and start a movement.

• Bold & Inclusive: You’re a champion for equity, making sure the "voices that usually get talked over" are the ones leading the conversation.

• A Connector: You’re organised enough to manage a committee but high-energy enough to keep a group of young leaders inspired and hungry for change.

"The world doesn't need more of the same. It needs a Remix."

We’re building something legendary. The question is: Are you ready to ensure that the youth of London are the ones holding the pen?

READY TO AMPLIFY THE YOUTH?

We’re launching NOW and we need our Youth Participation Lead to help us start with a bang. If you have the heart, the hustle, and the passion to put young people in the driving seat, let’s go.

WANTED: THE SQUAD BUILDER & CULTURE KEEPER.

REMIX IS CALLING. ARE YOU READY TO GROW THE FAMILY?

London is moving. The culture is shifting. At REMIX, we’re launching a movement fueled by energy, pulse, and purpose. But to change the game for young Londoners, we need a powerhouse team behind us. We are looking for a Volunteering Manager—the person who will hand-pick, nurture, and unite the squad that makes the magic happen.

This isn't just about managing a list of names; it’s about creating a close-knit family. We need a role model who can build a volunteering programme so inspiring that people don't just join—they belong.

BUILD THE CULTURE, LEAD THE SQUAD

This is a founding role for a natural leader who knows that a charity is only as strong as the people who power it. You’ll be the architect of the REMIX Volunteering Experience.

• Create the Blueprint: You’ll design and set up our brand-new Volunteering Programme from scratch—ensuring it’s a space where people feel valued, inspired, and ready to co-create.

• The Recruitment Hustle: You’ll lead on finding the disruptors, the mentors, and the creatives. From selection to onboarding, you’ll ensure every new recruit "gets" the vibe and hits the ground running.

• Cultivate the "Vibe": You are the heart of our team spirit. You’ll keep the REMIX family informed, motivated, and deeply connected to our common goals and the young people we serve.

ARE YOU OUR CHIEF CONNECTOR?

We need a role model who is positive, high-energy, and ready to roll up their sleeves to build a community. We’re looking for someone:

• Vibrant & People-Focused: You’re a "people person" in the truest sense. You know how to spot talent, nurture potential, and make everyone feel like a VIP.

• Organised & Bold: You can build the systems to manage a growing team, but you’re flexible enough to thrive in the "start-up" energy of a brand-new charity.

• A Culture Champion: You believe in the power of a "common goal" and know how to turn a group of individuals into a tight-knit, unstoppable force.
