Education support volunteer roles
Citrus Arts, a circus and outdoor arts organisation in Pontypridd in the South Wales valleys, is looking for new trustees to join our small yet mighty board.
Who are Citrus?
We’re an arts charity with a vision of a flourishing creative community rooted in the ethos of the travelling circus
Citrus’ mission is to use the hands-on skills of circus and outdoor arts life to nurture citizenship and kindness in our neighbourhood, and to ignite creativity, connecting our community to self, to each other and to the land through hosting spectacular shared experiences.
What do we do?
Paid training in outdoor arts technical skills for young people not in education, employment or training (ArtWorkers scheme) see short film
Outdoor arts and circus installations with and in our community see Ty Unnos film
Circus classes for children and adults at our base at Hopkinstown Hall
Rage Rage | Oes Oes a rebellious cultural programme for people who left school before 1990
Creative community events eg NT Live screenings, gigs, performances and community days
Who are we looking for?
We are seeking new members to join our board and help us drive the company, ensuring that we work with determination and flair in everything we do.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from people who live in Hopkinstown or the local area, who are Welsh speakers and/ or who feel their lived experience is underrepresented in the arts or on charity boards.We are also interested in hearing from folks with experience in environmental sustainability, safeguarding, marketingor relationship building, staff management, data protection and/ or venue management. The most important thing, however, is that you are interested in the arts and have a desire and enthusiasm for helping our community and our young people to embrace creativity, citizenship and kindness.
A trustee is a person who takes care of the work of a charity, making sure it meets its charitable aims and carries out everything it does in a legal and professional way. Trustees have meetings every few months to check on, plan and discuss the work of the charity. Trustees do not get paid for being trustees, but they do get expenses for any travel etc.
Citrus’ board meetings are held around 4 times a year, usually on Zoom, and there are other Citrus creative events we love our board members to attend where possible. These can include screenings, gigs, performances, festival, workshops and much more. We aim to support our board with training and development needs as well as social opportunities.
Currently, Citrus Arts has 4 trustees and we’re looking for 3 or 4 more.
To apply, send us an application in any format you would like. You can send a CV if you have one with a covering letter, and audio file or a video. You can apply in English or Welsh. Currently, our board meetings happen in English with some Welsh, and we’re really keen to increase the amount of Welsh spoken. We’d also be happy to support BSL interpretation of meetings if required.
If you would like to have an informal chat with one of our current board, or if you have any questions get in touch with our Executive Director Beth.
Deadline for applications: 31st July 2025 5pm

Design the Pathway to Connection, Healing & Joy
SUNSHINE is a brand-new, all-volunteer start-up charity with a simple yet powerful mission: to combat loneliness through uplifting services that bring joy, connection, and community to every person we reach. As we prepare for launch, we’re looking for someone extraordinary to lead on one of our most vital areas — service design and development.
This role isn’t just about creating programmes. It’s about creating possibilities.
We’re seeking a purpose-driven Service & Programme Development Manager to turn vision into reality — crafting support systems that make people feel seen, valued, and included.
What You’ll Do
As our lead architect of services, you’ll shape and develop what SUNSHINE actually does. You’ll be the bridge between big ideas and everyday impact. Your role includes:
-
Designing services from scratch — whether that’s befriending, wellbeing programmes, events, or community partnerships.
-
Understanding community needs — using feedback and insight to ensure relevance and reach.
-
Embedding compassion in delivery — creating programmes that are human, hopeful, and healing.
-
Collaborating with other leads — ensuring services align with our values, branding, and volunteer capacity.
-
Planning for scalability — building models that grow with the charity.
Whether it’s a one-to-one connection or a city-wide initiative, you’ll be guiding how SUNSHINE delivers its magic.
Who We’re Looking For
We welcome change-makers who blend strategic thinking with emotional intelligence. Ideal qualities include:
- Service Design & Development: Build impactful offerings from the ground up.
- Community Engagement: Ensure our services reflect real needs and lived experiences.
- Project Planning: Create scalable models that can grow and evolve.
- Collaboration & Communication: Work across teams to shape our delivery approach.
- Creativity & Empathy: Infuse every programme with warmth, relevance, and joy.
No formal qualifications needed — just vision, dedication, and a heart for healing.
Why Join Now?
Because SUNSHINE is still forming — and your leadership will define its soul. You’ll:
-
Help launch a movement that transforms lives through practical care.
-
Shape the programmes that people will remember, rely on, and talk about.
-
Lead with freedom and impact, putting your mark on something meaningful.
Ready to Build Something Beautiful?
If you believe services should feel like sanctuary... If you’re passionate about changing lives through design, empathy, and action... If you’re ready to help bring SUNSHINE’s mission into the everyday...
Then we need your light.
