Lead the Creation of a Life‑Changing Employability Programme

Unlock YOUR Potential is a new, ambitious adult social mobility charity dedicated to supporting people from deprived communities to gain the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to transform their lives. Through programmes in employability, personal development, wellbeing, and life skills, we empower adults to break cycles of disadvantage and step into brighter futures.

We are now building our flagship Employability Programme — and we are seeking a passionate, organised, and visionary Employability Manager to lead its creation, launch, and ongoing delivery.

Your leadership will directly shape the journeys of adults striving for a better future.

The Role: Volunteer Employability Manager

This is a hands‑on, strategic, and deeply meaningful role. You will design, develop, and manage our employability programme from the ground up — ensuring it is impactful, empowering, and accessible to adults who need it most.

You will work closely with the Founder to build a programme that supports participants into employment, training, and long‑term progression.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the full set‑up of our employability programme, from design to delivery.

• Develop a curriculum that includes job‑search skills, CV building, interview preparation, workplace confidence, and career planning.

• Build partnerships with employers, training providers, and community organisations.

• Recruit, support, and coordinate volunteers and facilitators involved in programme delivery.

• Oversee participant onboarding, engagement, and progression tracking.

• Ensure the programme is inclusive, empowering, and aligned with our mission of social mobility.

• Monitor outcomes and continuously improve the programme based on feedback and data.

• Represent the charity in external meetings, events, and partnership discussions.

• Work closely with the Founder to shape long‑term employability strategy and growth.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in employability, careers guidance, adult education, training, or programme management.

• Strong organisational and leadership skills.

• A passion for social mobility, equality, and empowering adults to succeed.

• The ability to design structured, engaging, and practical learning experiences.

• Confidence building relationships with employers and partners.

• A supportive, compassionate, and participant‑centred approach.

• Creativity, initiative, and a commitment to building something meaningful from the ground up.

What You’ll Gain

• A leadership role shaping a flagship programme for a national charity.

• The opportunity to design a service that will change lives, families, and communities.

• A meaningful addition to your professional portfolio and leadership experience.

• Flexible volunteering that fits around your life and commitments.

• The fulfilment of knowing your work directly helps adults overcome barriers and unlock their potential.
