Admin Manager (Volunteer Role)

SUNSHINE Charity – Ending Loneliness for Londoners and Beyond

Do you believe no one should feel alone?

At SUNSHINE Charity, we’re a grassroots, volunteer‑powered start‑up building something bold, hopeful, and deeply human — a movement to end loneliness for Londoners and, one day, far beyond. We’re at the very beginning of our journey, and what we build now will shape everything that comes next.

To keep our mission moving forward — to ensure our people, projects, and services run smoothly — we need someone extraordinary.

We need you!!!

Why This Role Matters

Loneliness is silent, but its impact is loud. It affects mental health, physical wellbeing, confidence, and hope. Every day, thousands of people in our city feel invisible — and SUNSHINE exists to change that.

But none of our work can happen without strong, reliable, organised support behind the scenes.

As our Admin Manager, you will be the steady hand that keeps everything running. You will create the structure that allows our volunteers, leaders, and services to thrive.

Your organisation will help someone feel supported. Your systems will help someone find connection. Your work will help someone feel less alone.

What You’ll Lead

This is not just a role — it’s a chance to build something meaningful from the ground up.

You will:

• Develop and manage SUNSHINE’s administrative systems, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently.

• Support the leadership team with scheduling, coordination, documentation, and internal communication.

• Create processes and tools that help volunteers and staff stay organised and informed.

• Oversee inboxes, enquiries, and internal workflows, ensuring nothing gets missed.

• Maintain accurate records, including volunteer information, project documentation, and organisational files.

• Help shape the operational backbone of a brand‑new charity.

• Champion clarity, organisation, and consistency, helping everyone work better together.

This is a role for someone who believes that good administration isn’t just paperwork — it’s the foundation that makes impact possible.

Who You Are

You’re someone who:

• Loves bringing order, clarity, and structure to busy environments.

• Believes deeply in kindness, connection, and purpose.

• Has experience in administration, coordination, operations, or office management.

• Thrives in start‑up environments where initiative and creativity matter.

• Wants to build something that will grow long after the first foundations are laid.

• Is motivated by purpose — by the chance to make a difference that truly matters.

Most importantly, you’re someone who wants to help people by supporting the people who support others.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

Because this is your chance to:

• Build the administrative backbone of a brand‑new charity.

• Create systems that help people connect, grow, and thrive.

• Work alongside passionate, hopeful, determined people.

• Know that your work directly helps end loneliness.

• Be part of something bigger than all of us.

Your organisation will help someone feel supported. Your clarity will help someone feel confident. Your leadership will help someone feel less alone.

We Need You — Now

We are at the beginning of our journey, and strong administration will be the lifeline that helps us grow. If you’ve ever wanted to use your skills to create real, lasting change, this is the moment.

If your heart is saying “yes,” then you have a heart of gold — and we want to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please submit your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you. We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life.

Come help us bring SUNSHINE into the lives of those who need it most.

Together, we can end loneliness.

Together, we can bring the sunshine back.
