Work collaboratively with trustees and advisors to ensure community voices inform our work.
Dedicate approximately 4–8 hours per month, with full flexibility around schedule and involvement.
Bring empathy, creativity, and a passion for connecting people with art, culture, and heritage.

Our Vision
The Foundation seeks to preserve the elegance of the past, celebrate the creativity of the present, and inspire the artists of the future. Through exhibitions, learning initiatives, and public engagement, we aim to make classical beauty a shared public resource.
Your work as Head of Community will help ensure that this vision is not only seen, but felt—creating a sense of belonging, participation, and cultural enrichment.

We believe in the power of holidays to transform lives. Time away matters.

Outside of formal meetings, you’ll be warmly encouraged to get to know the staff team, and attend fundraising events
or other events to meet referrers, families, and supporters wherever possible.
Overall, you’ll need to be able to commit around 6 hours each month for a mix of meetings and events, contributing

Bright Connections exists to end social isolation for disabled people by creating spaces where friendships can grow, confidence can flourish, and every person feels seen, valued, and connected. We bring people together through joyful activities, shared experiences, and a community built on belonging, because together, we shine brighter.
Our story began with one simple truth: no one should feel alone.
Inspired by a sister whose world had become small, isolated, and painfully quiet, Bright Connections was created to bring light back into the lives of disabled people who often feel forgotten. Many rely on others for daily care, yet still lack the one thing every human needs: friendship.
What started as one family’s determination to bring joy and connection to a loved one has grown into a movement, a movement that believes friendship is a human right, that joy should be accessible, and that community can transform lives.
We are now building our founding Board of Trustees to help shape our future, strengthen our foundations, and ensure our mission reaches every person who needs us.

Collaborative and team‑focused working style, with the ability to build positive relationships.
A growth mindset, open to learning, adapting, and shaping something new.
Confidence to advocate and network on behalf of Bright Connections.
Commitment to driving the charity forward, ensuring we grow sustainably and with purpose.
Integrity, accountability, and a strong sense of social justice.
Hands on at our set up to launch stage.
In addition, each specialist role brings its own desirable experience, whether in finance, governance, safeguarding, fundraising, strategy, or service design, but we welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and lived experience.
What You’ll Contribute
Guiding the strategic direction and long‑term vision of Bright Connections.
Ensuring strong governance, transparency, and compliance.
Championing our mission within your networks and the wider community.
Supporting the development of safe, joyful, inclusive services.
