The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world's worst humanitarian crises, helping to restore health, safety, education, economic wellbeing, and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. Founded in 1933 at the call of Albert Einstein, the IRC is one of the world's largest international humanitarian non-governmental organisations, at work in more than 40 countries across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, the Americas and Europe, helping people to survive, reclaim control of their future and strengthen their communities. A force for humanity, IRC employees deliver lasting impact by restoring safety, dignity and hope to millions.

IRC UK is part of the IRC global network, which has its global headquarters in New York. Our team in the UK works to deliver funding, policy and practice change, and programming. We are dedicated to supporting people across the arc of crisis – from conflict to refuge to resettlement – and since 2021, IRC UK has also provided integration services directly to refugees in the UK. We aim to centre the voice of our clients in all our work, including by working with a Community Advisory Board of 12 refugees and asylum seekers in the UK to ensure their experience and expertise shapes our UK programmes.

IRC UK’s Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees are responsible for overall good governance of IRC UK and supporting us to deliver against our strategic plan in areas such as programmes, fundraising, policy and advocacy, communications, people and culture, finance and operations. As of May 2026, we have 11 Trustees with a broad range of experience and expertise across areas relevant to IRC UK’s work, ensuring as a collective they can perform their strategic, supervisory and governance duties well.

The roles

In 2025, we saw a dramatic collapse in international aid and a retreat from global cooperation, despite unprecedented levels of humanitarian need. This trend is continuing at pace in 2026 with rapidly escalating global conflict amplified by climate change and entrenched poverty. In the UK, we are working to protect the rights of refugees in an increasingly challenging media and political environment.

In this context, we are seeking two new Trustees to lend skills and expertise in areas which we have identified as critical to strengthening the Board’s capability for the years ahead. These will replace Trustees nearing the ends of their terms. The successful candidate(s) will have:

Essential experience:

· Senior leadership experience within a complex international and matrix-structured organisation (charity, NGO, public, private);

· Strong leadership skills, and the ability to support and challenge executive leadership (including the ability to think critically and ask the right questions);

· Strong cross-cultural awareness and a commitment to role-modelling and advancing diversity, equality and inclusion;

· High standards of integrity and accountability;

· Ability to understand and interpret complex information pertaining to IRC UK’s financial position, risk and performance;

· Ability to work collaboratively with others; and

· An interest and willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to successfully deliver this role.

Desirable experience:

· Experience in or understanding of the international development or UK charity sector;

· Experience operating at Board or equivalent strategic level;

· Strong networks and willingness to make connections which advance IRC UK’s charitable purpose, particularly in high-value fundraising.

We are particularly interested to hear from candidates who can demonstrate any of the following: 

• Strategic understanding of refugee issues in the UK, including asylum, resettlement and integration, to support IRC UK in deepening the impact and reach of its programmes and advocacy. 

• Digital expertise and networks, including an understanding of the rapidly evolving technology landscape and networks across technology, social media and digital marketing. 

• Philanthropy and partnerships experience, including strong connections across UK foundations, trusts and the wider philanthropic sector.

Help a not-for-profit reach more people who need affordable counselling. Run the outreach and listings that connect struggling adults to qualified, low-cost support.

What you will do.

Referral partnerships (the main task). Each week, email a small batch of relevant organisations (charities, social prescribers, advice services, housing providers, universities) to introduce Flourish as a referral option, using our ready-made templates and contact list. Follow up once and track responses. This is friendly relationship-building, not hard selling.

Reviews. Run our gentle, ethical review-request process and keep a simple record.

Drafting for the founder to approve. Draft short responses to journalist requests and occasional LinkedIn posts in the founder's voice, ready for her quick sign-off. We provide an expert toolkit, including bios and key messages, to make this easy.

Light reporting. Keep a simple tracker of activity and enquiries so we can see what is working.

You will not be asked to provide counselling, give clinical advice, or speak publicly as an expert yourself; the founder remains the named voice.

Who we are looking for.

Organised and reliable, comfortable working through a list methodically.

Confident, warm written English; able to write a friendly, professional email.

Comfortable with spreadsheets, web forms and email; quick to learn simple online tools.

Self-motivated and able to work independently and remotely.

FOUNDING GRAPHIC DESIGNER (VOLUNTEER)

Help Shape the Visual Identity of a Movement That Will Change Lives

Loneliness is one of the greatest challenges facing our communities today. Every day, people across London feel invisible, disconnected and alone — not because they have nobody around them, but because they don’t feel seen, valued or like they truly belong.

SUNSHINE was created to change that.

Born from a deeply personal promise that nobody should have to face loneliness alone, SUNSHINE is building a movement where connection becomes a lifeline and belonging becomes a right.

Now, we’re searching for a Founding Graphic Designer — a creative, imaginative, heart‑led volunteer who wants to help bring SUNSHINE’s identity to life.

This isn’t just a design role. This is the chance to visually shape a movement that will touch thousands of lives.

Your Mission

As our Founding Graphic Designer, you will help create the visual world of SUNSHINE — a world filled with warmth, hope and belonging.

You’ll design:

• Social media graphics that inspire connection.

• Booklets and brochures that tell our story.

• Banners and posters that welcome people into community.

• Merchandise that spreads joy and visibility.

• Brand identity elements that define who we are.

• And many more creative pieces as we grow.

Your work will become the face of SUNSHINE — the colours, shapes and visuals that make people feel seen, included and uplifted.

Who You Are

• You’re creative, compassionate and excited to use your skills for something meaningful.
• You don’t need decades of experience — just a passion for design and a belief that creativity can change the world.

You’re someone who:

• Loves visual storytelling
• Enjoys creating warm, welcoming designs
• Wants to use their talent for social good
• Believes in kindness, dignity and belonging
• Is excited to help build a brand from the ground up

Why This Matters

• Because every graphic you create…
• Every colour palette you shape…
• Every piece of visual storytelling you craft…

Will help someone feel less alone.

• Your designs will be the first thing people see.
• They will be the spark that draws someone in.
• They will be the invitation that says: “You belong here.”

This is your chance to leave a creative legacy that will impact lives for years to come.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

As a Founding Graphic Designer, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Help build a new charity from the very beginning.

• Shape the visual identity of a movement.

• Create meaningful work that brings people together.

• Collaborate with a passionate, kind leadership team.

• Use your creativity to make a genuine difference.

Most importantly… You’ll help ensure fewer people have to experience the pain of loneliness.

A Personal Message from the Founder

“I didn’t start SUNSHINE because I wanted to run a charity. I started it because I watched someone I love experience a loneliness that no one should ever have to endure.

SUNSHINE is my promise that we’ll keep creating places where people feel seen, valued and connected — but I can’t build that future alone.

If our vision speaks to you, I’d be honoured to welcome you as one of SUNSHINE’s Founding Creatives.

Together, we can build a future where nobody has to face loneliness alone.”

— Scott, Founder of SUNSHINE

Join Us

If you’re ready to use your creativity to build something truly meaningful, we’d love to hear from you.

• Together, we can create communities where everyone belongs.
• Together, we can bring SUNSHINE to those who need it most.
