• A current practicing certificate;
• Ability to work remotely with adequate internet access and a private space;
• Good communication skills;

• An empathetic, non-judgemental and non-discriminatory manner;

About Rights of Women

Rights of Women’s vision is to achieve equality, justice and safety in the law for all women. 2025 saw our 50th anniversary!

Our mission is to advise, educate and empower women by:

• Providing women with free, confidential legal advice by specialist women solicitors and barristers
• Enabling women to understand and benefit from their legal rights through accessible and timely publications and training
• Campaigning to ensure that women’s voices are heard and law and policy meets all women’s needs.

What difference will you make?
For decades, our volunteers have been at the heart of Rights of Women’s advice lines. They provide trusted legal guidance, compassionate support and reassurance to women navigating complex and distressing legal situations, often during some of the most difficult periods of their working and family lives.

“I have been a volunteer with Rights of Women since September 2003, which possibly makes me one of the longest-serving telephone advisors on the evening helpline; in a way this speaks for itself! The helpline is an indispensable service and many women have told me that they consider it a lifeline.”

“Dealing with the legal system is often a source of great anxiety, uncertainty and confusion. I have spoken with many women in very difficult situations. It is important that they know that we are here for the and it is rewarding to help.”

Ready to design the face of a movement?

At MINDSET, we’re building a brand-new start-up for men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth across England and Wales. We’re ditching the "grey and clinical" look for something bold, modern, and high-impact. Now, we need a Volunteer Graphic Designer to give MINDSET the visual edge it deserves.

We’re looking for a creative powerhouse to take our brand and turn it into something men actually want to be part of—from digital campaigns to physical event gear.

The Mission:

• The Visual Storyteller: Create high-impact social media posts, info-graphics, and motion graphics that cut through the noise and tell the MINDSET story.
• The Campaign Builder: Design the assets for our Kickstart MINDSET fundraiser and our volunteer recruitment drives.
• The Physical Presence: Create the "real world" stuff—banners, posters, and flyers that make us stand out at events across the country.
• The Brand Guardian: Help us maintain a consistent, positive, and direct visual identity that screams growth and resilience.

The Vibe:
No boring corporate templates. No stock photos of people looking sad. We want fresh, energetic, and professional design that reflects the strength of the men we support. You’ll have a huge amount of creative freedom to shape how the world sees us from day one.

Sound like you?
If you’ve got a killer portfolio, a sharp eye for detail, and a passion for using your skills to make a massive difference, we want you in the studio.

Volunteer Graphic Designer

Create the visual identity for a new charity on a mission to unlock potential

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We are building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to break barriers, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.

We are preparing to launch — and now we need a talented creative who can help us bring our brand to life.

Your Mission: Design a Brand That Inspires Change

We are looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer who can create a powerful, meaningful and memorable logo and brand identity that captures the heart of our mission.

This is a chance to shape the visual identity of a charity from day one. Your work will become the face of our movement — appearing across our website, social media, programmes, campaigns and future impact.

You will:

• Design a bold, inspiring logo that reflects unlocking potential, opportunity and transformation

• Develop a simple but impactful brand identity (colours, typography, visual style)

• Create initial brand assets for use across digital platforms

• Work closely with the Founder to understand our mission, values and audience

• Help translate our purpose into a visual language that resonates with the communities we serve

Your creativity will help us communicate hope, empowerment and possibility to people who need it most.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• A creative thinker with experience in graphic design or brand development

• Someone who can turn ideas and values into compelling visual concepts

• Passionate about social mobility, fairness and creating positive change

• Able to commit a short burst of time over the coming weeks to help us prepare for launch

• Excited by the idea of shaping the identity of a brand‑new charity

Whether you’re an experienced designer or an emerging creative looking to build your portfolio, your work will have real purpose and real impact.

Why this role matters

A brand is more than a logo — it’s a promise. A signal of trust. A spark of recognition. A symbol of hope.

Your designs will help us reach people who have been overlooked, underestimated or held back by circumstance. You will help us communicate possibility to adults who deserve the chance to thrive.

• If you want to use your creativity to make a meaningful difference…
• If you want to help build something powerful from the ground up…
• If you want your work to inspire thousands…

We’d love to hear from you.
