As Retreat Support & Member Travel Liaison, you will coordinate the logistical and communication aspects of member participation in retreats and events. You will act as a key point of contact for travel planning, accommodation coordination, accessibility needs, and member queries before, during, and after retreats.

• Ability to handle sensitive and personal information confidentially, in line with safeguarding and data protection policies
• Ability to work collaboratively with programme leads, facilitators, venues, and volunteers
• Proactive problem-solving skills and sound judgement when escalating concerns
• Reliability and responsiveness during pre-event and live delivery periods
• Alignment with values of care, respect, and participant-centred delivery

• Coordinate member travel logistics: Provide clear guidance on transport options, arrival and departure details, accommodation information, and local travel considerations. Support members to plan journeys confidently while balancing consistency, cost-awareness, and accessibility needs.
• Primary point of contact for members: Act as a calm, reliable, and approachable contact for participants attending retreats or in-person programmes. Respond to queries promptly, clearly, and sensitively, recognising that travel and participation can be stressful or unfamiliar for some members.
• Support retreat and programme planning: Work alongside programme leads to support retreat schedules, attendance tracking, check-in processes, and on-the-day coordination. Assist with practical arrangements that enable facilitators to focus on delivery and participant care.
• Liaison with venues and teams: Coordinate with venues, facilitators, and internal teams to ensure accommodation, access, catering, room set-up, and transport arrangements meet programme needs, safeguarding standards, and agreed expectations.
• Accessibility, wellbeing, and safeguarding: Proactively identify potential accessibility barriers, wellbeing needs, or safeguarding concerns shared by participants. Escalate issues promptly and appropriately to designated leads, following organisational safeguarding procedures.
• Data management and compliance: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of participant details, travel arrangements, access requirements, and communications. Ensure all information is handled confidentially and in full compliance with GDPR and data protection policies.
• Post-retreat follow-up and evaluation: Support post-programme processes, including follow-up communications, feedback collection, and contribution to evaluation activities. Help ensure participant experiences inform learning and continuous improvement.

What This Role Offers You:

• Practical leadership experience supporting impactful retreats and in-person programmes.
• Opportunity to contribute directly to transformative experiences for survivors and marginalised communities.
• Personal growth through service-led, community-centred work in a values-driven organisation.
• The satisfaction of helping members feel supported, informed, and safe as they engage in deep personal and collective development.

What This Role Is Not For:

• Individuals seeking hands-off or purely behind-the-scenes work with no member interaction.
• Those unwilling to work flexibly around programme timelines or respond to live operational needs.
• People expecting rigid structures or corporate event management environments—this role requires adaptability, care, and collaboration.

If you are ready to support powerful in-person experiences and ensure members can engage fully, safely, and confidently, we want to hear from you. Apply now and help us deliver retreats that foster healing, connection, and transformation.

A Final Word
Logistics are about people, not just plans.

If you know that:

• Trust is built through clear communication, care, and reliability
• Privacy and safeguarding are essential when supporting travel and participation
• Respectful, attentive support helps people feel safe and welcomed

…then you understand the heart of effective retreat support and member travel liaison.

We’re currently recruiting volunteers for schools in Spalding to strengthen their governing boards and enhance outcomes of pupils within your communities. If you feel, you want to make a difference within your community, read on for more details about the role of a governor and how to apply.

Governors make decisions that affect schools and their pupils for years to come; our recent impact survey found that our volunteers bring £9.9 million worth of value to schools each year, and 9/10 volunteers would recommend being a governor to a friend. Becoming a governor gives you ample opportunity for personal and professional development, including exposure to finance and budgeting, safeguarding, HR, strategic planning, and more.
As a governor, you can visit the school to gain an understanding of the culture and ethos and to get the most out of the role as well as have the opportunity to meet children, parents, and teachers, and see the impact of your work first-hand.

REMIX

We are currently looking to recruit an external trustee to join our Board of Trustees and also act as chair to the Finance and Audit Sub-Committee. We will also require the trustee to support our whistleblowing policy, acting as the nominated trustee contact for whistleblowing concerns.  You’ll champion openness and ensure the organisation has safe, fair, and effective processes for raising and handling concerns.

Your SU is overseen by our Board of Trustees, and our trading subsidiary (CUSU Services Ltd) is overseen by our Commercial Services Board . They are both made up of a collection of our elected Officers, students, university staff and external professionals that ensure the Charity and the Trading Subsidiary remain sustainable in terms of finance, legality and reputational status.

You will be expected to attend Board meetings 4 times per year – these will be a mix of in person and Teams meetings. You will also be expected to support at least one sub-committee of the Trustee Board (3-4 times per year) as well as complete training and induction. You will need some time to allow for prereading of reports and other documentation before meetings. 

Trustee meetings are typically held on a Friday afternoon 1pm-4pm. Most of the meetings are online, although you would be offered travel expenses for any face-to-face meetings (and hybrid meetings are usually offered if you do need to join remotely.) There is also a strategy day once a year as well as the occasional social activity!

For this trustee role, we are looking for an experienced professional ideally with third-sector governance experience. In addition to being a member of the Board of Trustees the trustee will be required to chair the Finance and Audit subcommittee and should possess a strong finance background with analytical skills and the ability to communicate complex financial information.

We are especially keen to encourage applications from people currently under-represented within the organisation, including but not limited to those from the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and those from a Global Majority background. We hope that by enhancing our diversity we can extend our organisational creativity and problem solving through the different perspectives and life experiences which diversity brings.

Please note that this is an unpaid voluntary role.
