What will you be doing?

Our Board of Trustees is made up of 11 trustees from a range of backgrounds including, health, social care, education and the private sector. 

Demand for our services is higher than it has ever been. Cases are increasingly complex and resources stretched. Changes to the funding landscape, including the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and North East Combined Authority (NECA) present both challenges and opportunities for the organisation.  As the ICB looks to make savings, new regional opportunities are arising with NECA, which require collaboration across a number of carer organisations. 

We are one year into our 5 year strategic cycle, which sets out clear priorities and goals. To help us grow and thrive, and, deliver our Corporate Strategy, we need a Treasurer who can:

• Oversee our finances and keep us sustainable
   
• Ensure we meet charity requirements 
   
• Support the management team with budgets, reporting, and good financial practice.

The Treasurer will play a vital role in guiding our Trustees in overseeing our finances and helping us succeed. We’re looking for someone who is a qualified accountant and is willing to give a few hours a month to support the work we do.

This is a great opportunity to put your skills to use in a meaningful way, and work with a committed and motivated board of trustees and senior leadership team, to help meet the needs of unpaid carers and work towards a more sustainable future.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is a qualified accountant who can oversee the organisation's finances and provide sound financial advise to aid the board of trustee in their decision making. 

Ideally we are looking for a Treasurer who has lived experience as a unpaid carer, but this is not essential.

What difference will you make?

As Treasurer, this is a great opportunity to put your financial skills to use in a meaningful way, and work with a committed and motivated board of trustees and senior leadership team, to help meet the needs of unpaid carers and drive our strategic vision and priorities.

Unlock YOUR Potential – Adult Social Mobility Charity

Location: Remote

Hours: Flexible

Type: Volunteer

Help Us Re‑Imagine a Brand That Changes Lives

Unlock YOUR Potential is a new, ambitious adult social mobility charity dedicated to transforming the futures of people from deprived communities. We exist to equip adults with the skills, confidence, tools, and opportunities they need to learn, grow, and succeed in life.

Our programmes, spanning employability, personal development, wellbeing, and life skills—are designed to break cycles of disadvantage and open doors to brighter futures. We are building something powerful, hopeful, and life‑changing. Now we need a visual identity that reflects that mission.

That’s where you come in.

The Role: Volunteer Graphic Designer (Logo Re‑Brand)

We are looking for a creative, thoughtful, and mission‑driven Graphic Designer to help us re‑brand our charity logo and shape the visual identity that will carry our message across the UK.

You will take our existing concept and evolve it into a brand that feels:

• Bold and Empowering

• Warm and Human

• Professional and Trustworthy

• Rooted in hope and opportunity

Our signature vibrant orange must remain at the heart of the brand, symbolising energy, optimism, and transformation but we welcome your creative vision for how it can shine.

What You’ll Do

• Re‑design and modernise our charity logo while keeping the core vibrant orange colour.

• Develop a refreshed visual identity that reflects empowerment, growth, and social mobility.

• Create brand assets we can use across digital platforms, print materials, and fundraising campaigns.

• Collaborate with the Founder to ensure the brand aligns with our mission and values.

• Help shape the look and feel of a charity that will support thousands of adults to change their lives.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in graphic design, branding, or visual communication.

• A portfolio showcasing your creativity and design style.

• Passion for social impact, equality, and helping people reach their potential.

• Ability to translate mission and emotion into visual identity.

• A collaborative, open, and imaginative approach.

What You’ll Gain

• A chance to lead the visual identity of a national charity from the ground up.

• A meaningful project for your portfolio with real social impact.

• Flexible volunteering that fits around your life.

• The opportunity to contribute to a mission that changes lives, families, and communities.

• The satisfaction of knowing your work will inspire hope and opportunity for years to come.
