Our building is a space that’s open, welcoming and full of life throughout the week (including evenings and weekends).

No two days will be the same. You’ll make sure our building runs smoothly and safely for everyone who comes through our doors. Some days you’ll roll up your sleeves to tackle practical tasks yourself; other days you’ll manage and coordinate others. This is a great opportunity to work in a state-of-the-art, purpose-build community centre, helping to care for and steward our building so that it is always ready for use by our community.

In this hands-on role, you’ll be at the heart of our community’s daily life. From overseeing maintenance and coordinating the caretaking and cleaning teams, to ensuring M&E systems run at their best, you’ll make sure our building is a safe, well-functioning, and inviting place for everyone who comes through its doors.

If you’re organised, dependable, and motivated by making spaces work well for people, we’d love to hear from you.

Ready to lead bold, place-based change in Bradford?
This is your chance to shape one of the UK’s most ambitious community-powered initiatives—Act Locally.

We’re looking for a dynamic leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and grassroots action. You’ll connect schools, services, and communities to co-create solutions that improve life chances for children and families.

This role requires someone who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and brings a ‘start-up’ mindset to working in a small but ambitious team. You’ll be equally comfortable facilitating strategic conversations with senior leaders and rolling up your sleeves to support grassroots initiatives in local neighbourhoods. 

Why Join Us? 

Because you want to be part of something bigger. We are a collective impact charity driving long-term change across Bradford by focusing on what matters most—children’s education, health, and future opportunities. 
 
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of a growing charity at the heart of one of the UK’s most ambitious place-based partnerships. You’ll bring your skills and personality into a close-knit team with big ambitions and a powerful network of partners. 
 
As we move to scale-up, this role offers the chance to influence strategy, build deep relationships across sectors, and be part of a story that’s bigger than any single programme. If you're energised by complexity, creativity, and community, we’d love to hear from you. 

Are you looking to launch your career in events and administration? Do you want to work for a values-driven organisation and make a difference in the world?

We are seeking an enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our team as Alumni & Events Administrator. This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside experienced events professionals at the heart of an influential charity dedicated to developing leaders across the public, for-profit, and not-for-profit sectors.

In this role, you will engage directly with alumni (many of whom hold significant national or international positions), ensure our digital records are accurate and up-to-date, and play a key part in organising logistics for our events, both online and in person at Windsor Castle and Cumberland Lodge, Windsor Great Park.

This is the perfect chance to develop your organisational and communication skills, gain hands-on experience running events in prestigious settings, and become part of a friendly, supportive team.

If you have a keen eye for detail, a can-do attitude, and strong digital skills – and if this role excites you - we would love to hear from you.

Join an amazing charity that makes a difference for the 110,000 adults and children in the UK with a muscle-wasting condition. This is a role where you can really make a difference.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation that reflects the communities we serve. We actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those from underrepresented groups including people from ethnic minority backgrounds, LGBTQ+ individuals, and those with lived experience of conditions we represent. We believe that diversity strengthens our work and helps us better support our beneficiaries.

Background

We bring together people affected by more than 60 rare and very rare progressive muscle-weakening and wasting conditions. Volunteering at Muscular Dystrophy UK plays a vital role in driving forward the charity’s mission to support individuals and families affected by muscle-wasting conditions. Volunteers are at the heart of MDUK’s work, contributing their time, skills, and passion to raise awareness, fundraise, and deliver community-based support. Supporting and empowering volunteers is essential not only to enhance their experience and wellbeing but also to strengthen the charity’s impact across the UK. By fostering inclusive, meaningful, and well-structured volunteering opportunities, the Volunteering and Support Group Officer will help ensure that every volunteer feels valued and equipped to make a real difference in the lives of the community that MDUK supports.

In this role you’ll work with the Volunteer Engagement Manager to ensure that volunteers across the organisation are recruited, trained and managed effectively, so our volunteers feel supported in their roles, and get the most they can from their volunteering.

You’ll additionally support the organisation of in person and online activities which provide a supportive, welcoming space for people affected by muscle-wasting and weakening conditions to meet with others – both in their local area and online across the UK. You’ll provide support to the volunteers who chair and coordinate these events, ensuring throughout that meetings and events meet the needs of our community.  

Benefits:

We appreciate the range of skills and experience our staff have to offer. In return for your enthusiasm and commitment we commit to actively developing and supporting you. We also offer a range of benefits including pension, life assurance, cycle scheme, health cash plan, financial wellbeing and an employee assistance programme.

Location: We operate a hybrid model (home and office, London SE1). 

Closing date: Wednesday 15th October 

NB Interviews likely to be held on 22nd & 23rd of October
