Through our residential, community, and day services, we empower people to lead fulfilling lives, maintain independence, and engage meaningfully with their communities.
Our person-centered approach ensures that every individual we support is treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. We are committed to building an inclusive society where barriers to independence are removed and where every person’s potential is recognised.

- Contribute to the development and monitoring of Focus Birmingham’s strategic direction and operational plans.
- Act in the best interests, avoiding conflicts of interest and maintaining confidentiality.
- Uphold and champion the charity’s values, mission, and policies including those related to safeguarding, equality, and inclusion.
- Attend and participate actively in Board meetings (typically held quarterly), relevant sub-committees, and strategic events.
- Maintain effective oversight of financial performance, risk, and governance quality.
- Serve as a critical friend to the executive team, providing support, challenge, and encouragement.
Legal Trustee-Specific Responsibilities
- Act as the Board’s primary source of legal expertise, offering high-level advice on legal, regulatory, and contractual matters.
- Advise the Board on its responsibilities under charity, company, employment, data protection, and safeguarding law, among others.
- Support the scrutiny of key contracts, leases, service agreements, and policies to ensure legal compliance and mitigate risks.
- Guide the Board in managing disputes, liabilities, or potential legal actions, working with external counsel when needed.
- Assist with drafting and reviewing governance policies, board terms of reference, delegated authorities, and codes of conduct.

Mavar is currently seeking a seasoned networker to join the Mavar Trustee Board as a Trustee with special responsibilities for strengthening our fundraising practice and broadening the charity’s donor base. Working with our Board and CEO, you’ll bring experience, insight and strategic guidance to help develop our fundraising capacity in support of the strategic development of the charity.
Mavar’s Mission
Founded on the belief that everyone has the right to choose their own path in life, Mavar’s central mission is to empower individuals who choose to explore opportunities beyond the strictly orthodox community to fulfil personal goals. Mavar supports our members’ efforts to achieve independence, live authentically and cope with the obstacles they may encounter as they explore options to live, work or study in the secular world – whether or not they choose to leave the Charedi community.
Mavar’s Service Users
Some men and women who have grown up in the closed world of the Charedi community hold personal and religious values that are not in line with the rest of the community. Attempts to follow their own path often bring them into direct confrontation with family, friends and neighbours who regard expressions of individualism or self-determination as heresy. These individuals fear that the community will ostracise them, leaving them feeling trapped, isolated and helpless.
Some may simply wish to explore options for obtaining a general education or improving their access to employment opportunities whilst wishing to remain within the ultra-orthodox community; others may look to divest themselves of the strictures of ultra-orthodoxy and to lead a more mainstream lifestyle. They all typically lack the everyday life skills to cope with the challenges of the secular world, which appears to them as a confusing, frightening and alien planet. Any effort to integrate with the outside, secular world is hampered by limited English language skills, cultural disorientation, lack of basic education or qualifications and negligible skills for employment.
Trustee Role Details
The day-to-day operations of Mavar are conducted by staff and volunteers under the leadership of our CEO and with the overall oversight of the Trustee Board.
Main Duties of the Fundraising Trustee:
- Contribute to the overall governance of the charity as a member of the Board of Trustees.
- Provide advice and support on fundraising strategy, ensuring income generation is planned and executed in alignment with Mavar’s budget framework and objectives.
- Act as a fundraising champion on Mavar’s board, working with the CEO and supporting other trustees to explore fundraising possibilities.
- If you have personal networks with fundraising potential, utilise them to support the work of the charity.
- Support the development of diverse fundraising streams (e.g. individual giving, trusts and foundations, community fundraising, corporate support) and advise and support with appeals and major fundraising events/campaigns.
- Act as an ambassador for the charity, promoting its work and helping to raise its profile.
- Ensure compliance with fundraising regulation and best practice, as well as Mavar’s policies and procedures.
You are expected to give at least one day per month to your role. Board meetings take place four times a year in London, with a mixture of online and in-person meetings and are complemented by occasional online or in-person feedback meetings with the CEO and the Treasurer.
Person Specification
Essential
- Commitment to the charity’s mission and values
- Understanding of the legal duties and responsibilities of charity trusteeship
- Knowledge and experience of fundraising (e.g. trusts, corporates, major donors, community fundraising, or digital campaigns)
- Strategic thinker, able to balance long-term planning with practical advice
- Strong communication and networking skills
Desirable
- Experience of charity fundraising
- Existing networks that could support the charity’s fundraising efforts
- Understanding of charity finance and/or marketing
- Familiarity with Jewish cultural context
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

-
Workshop Lead: responsible for facilitating workshops that can be either thematic, reinforcing the vocabulary learned in English class to make it more practical and interactive, or focused on social and emotional learning, helping students develop their self-awareness through creative and mindful activities, or touch upon any scientific/mathematical knowledge the teacher might bring.
No matter the role(s) filled, team members are expected to help plan, prepare and participate in various community engagement activities such as: picnics, community excursions, sporting events, etc.
You should be able to:
-
Be consistent with your application of behaviour management techniques
-
Be honest and transparent; be able to give and receive feedback in the most straightforward way

After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, a small monthly expenses refund
In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Have experience leading a team of this type?
Consider applying to become a Youth Programme Coordinator. Whether your experience lies in the humanitarian sector or elsewhere, we are looking for people with expertise that can drive us forward as an organisation.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.
We challenge the biases that make us see refugees as “the other”. We change the way society perceives refugees, and refugees perceive society.

We are a brand new, dynamic youth work charity dedicated to cutting through the noise and reaching the young people who need us most in Inner London's deprived areas. Our mission is simple yet profound: to move beyond passive engagement and create active opportunities that inspire, connect, and empower.
Our Vision: Moving Beyond the Screen
Urban Youth is not waiting for young people to come to us; we are meeting them where they are. We are tearing down barriers to engagement by deploying innovative, flexible youth work:
-
The Youth Bus: A mobile hub transforming spaces into instant centres of positive activity.
-
Pop-Up Hubs: Breathing new life into unused community spaces or integrating within existing centres.
-
School & College Partnerships: Working directly within educational settings and collaborating with other youth organisations to ensure seamless support.
Our Impact: Building Skills, Confidence, and Community
We believe that every young person deserves a space to discover their authentic self. Our core focus is on diversionary positive activities—experiences designed to get young people out of their homes, away from their screens, and fully engaged with their peers and the world around them.
-
Social and Life Skills: We teach practical skills, from teamwork to conflict resolution.
-
Confidence Building: We champion self-belief, encouraging young people to take positive risks and celebrate their achievements.
-
Discovery and Connection: We provide a vital sense of belonging, fostering meaningful relationships in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
At Urban Youth, our staff are more than just youth workers; they are positive adult role models—here to nurture, guide, and support. We are lighting the fuse on potential, empowering today’s youth to become tomorrow’s confident, capable, and connected leaders.
Join us as we work to transform challenges into triumphs, one young person at a time.

CBM UK Trustee (x 2 positions)
Do you believe in an inclusive world where all people with disabilities can participate and thrive? Are you passionate about changing the structures and systems that keep people poor and marginalised?
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for two new trustees to play a vital role in shaping how we deliver our work most effectively. If you’ve got business acumen, accounting expertise, or an innovative approach to international development, we’d love to hear from you.
Your contribution
Join us as a trustee and you’ll help ensure the good governance of CBM UK. You’ll provide financial scrutiny of fund management and supervise the performance of the CEO. Ultimately, you will help ensure our resources are used as effectively as possible to serve people with disabilities in some of the world’s poorest countries.
You’ll join a Board of 11 directors who have experience across international development, education, law, financial services and management. We’re looking for two new trustees who bring skills in:
- business (particularly social enterprise and start up),
- accountancy (with understanding of UK SORP), or
- innovative approaches to international development, including alternative models of development financing.
We strongly encourage applications from women and people with lived experience of disability.
About us
For over 115 years, CBM has been transforming lives around the world. Part of a Global Federation, we work with local partners to ensure people with disabilities in some of the world’s poorest communities have access to healthcare, education and livelihoods. This is a truly exciting time to join us as we embark on an ambitious new strategy to end the cycle of poverty and disability.
