Crime volunteer roles
At Hampton Trust, our vision is for everyone to live free from violence and abuse – and we need you to help us achieve this. Whether you are an experienced Trustee or wanting to take your first step at Board level, we want to hear from you!
What will you be doing?
As a Trustee of Hampton Trust, you will play a vital role in shaping the future of a bold and innovative charity that works to break the cycle of abuse. Your contribution will directly support our mission to create safe, trauma-informed spaces, hold perpetrators to account, and help rebuild lives.
Trustees help steer our long-term strategy and provide critical oversight to ensure our resources are used effectively and ethically. You’ll bring your skills and experience to scrutinise board papers, guide decisions, support internal governance, and help evaluate our impact. Whether you bring expertise in criminal justice, income generation, policy, marketing, digital, or connections to the NHS, education or youth sectors, your input will be instrumental in helping us meet challenges and seize opportunities.
You will also influence how we develop sustainable organisational growth, ensure compliance with charity law, and uphold our values across every aspect of our work. Drawing on your networks and insight, you will help advocate for the charity and support wider engagement with our partners, funders, and the public.
This is a chance to use your voice and leadership to shape innovative interventions and influence real change—both in systems and in the lives of individuals. You will be joining a passionate, diverse, and forward-thinking board committed to building safer communities and driving long-lasting, transformative change.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for Trustees who bring strategic insight, sound judgement, and a strong commitment to social justice. To help us meet current challenges and realise new opportunities, we are particularly seeking individuals with skills or experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Criminal justice and/or domestic abuse
- Commissioning, grant funding or income generation
- Policy and public affairs
- Marketing, communications and public relations
- Digital transformation
- NHS, education, or youth sector knowledge and networks
- Sustainable organisational growth
We welcome applications from people with strong governance, leadership, and financial oversight experience, as well as those with lived experience of domestic abuse.
We value empathy, innovation, and the ability to think independently while working collaboratively. We are especially keen to increase the diversity of our Board and encourage applications from people in their 20s and 30s, and from underrepresented ethnic, religious and socio-economic backgrounds.
What difference will you make?
As a Trustee of Hampton Trust, your impact will be both strategic and deeply human. You will help shape the future of a charity committed to supporting people affected by harm, abuse and adversity—ensuring our work remains effective, sustainable, and aligned with our mission.
By contributing your knowledge and expertise, you'll help us make informed, ethical decisions and strengthen our long-term vision. Trustees play a vital role in developing and steering our strategy, overseeing finances, evaluating performance, and identifying risk and opportunity. You’ll guide our leadership, ensuring we stay focused on achieving real, lasting change for the communities we serve.
You will help safeguard the charity’s values and credibility—ensuring compliance with relevant laws and regulations, and that resources are used efficiently and responsibly. Drawing on your own networks, you’ll help extend our reach and influence.
The role is hands-on and rewarding: you’ll review and scrutinise board papers, actively participate in quarterly (hybrid) meetings, and may offer training, mentoring, or tools that strengthen our internal capacity. Whether it's through sharing specialist knowledge, offering critical oversight, or simply supporting our team with empathy and integrity, your presence on the board will help ensure we remain a resilient, forward-thinking organisation.
Your impact will be felt not only in our governance, but in the lives we help change.
Before you apply
We hope you’ll consider becoming a Trustee with us.
To express interest, please email our CEO, Chantal Hughes, with your CV and a supporting statement outlining who you are, why you're interested in the role, and what skills or expertise you’d bring.
After reviewing your application, we’ll arrange an informal chat with the Chair, followed by an interview with the Chair, Trustees, and CEO within four weeks.
If you’d like an informal chat before applying, please email Chantal.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Thank you!

Shannon Trust fulfils an unmet need around adult learning, supporting people who’ve fallen through the cracks in formal education.
We know a lot of people have had negative learning experiences in the past, so our programme is designed to be different, with no exams and no classrooms. Our unique, evidence-based Turning Pages reading manuals and Count Me In numeracy manuals are used by thousands of learners in prisons and the community to improve reading and numeracy skills.
Prison volunteers live near to their local prison so that they can visit about once a month during the working week to nurture the growth of the Shannon Trust in their prison. They help unlock the power of reading by offering advice, guidance, training and support to prison staff and prisoner mentors who help other prisoners to improve their skills 1 to 1.
We are looking for volunteers who are able to give a regular, reliable commitment for ideally two years and able to deliver engaging training to groups of people in prisons. Volunteers do not need to be teachers or qualified traininers, full training will be given. Due to the nature of the role, prison security vetting will be required.
We provide training for the role via e-learning and 4 training sessions which are a mix of live, online and group training.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
