In the UK there are more than 11,000 deaths due to liver disease each year. British Liver Trust is determined to achieve real change in liver health and during our busiest period ever, we’re looking for volunteers to support our small, friendly Admin Team within the Operations Department.
You might be looking for a meaningful way to use your skills, stay professionally active, or gain hands-on experience in an office environment. Whether you're looking to build your CV, you're between roles, or you're looking to contribute your time to a cause that really matters, we’d love to hear from you.
The role
This is a varied, practical role supporting a busy office. You’ll be involved in the day-to-day administrative work that keeps things running smoothly, particularly when workloads are high. Examples of tasks include:
-
Order fulfilment; picking, packing patient booklets and materials, preparing to be posted
-
Supporting the team preparing for upcoming events; travel arrangements, accommodation, venues, catering
-
General admin; filing, stock taking, shredding, scanning

What you’ll gain
-
Valuable, current office experience in a national charity
-
The chance to work as part of a supportive, energetic team
-
A meaningful CV addition, whether you’re early-career or more experienced

Our Admin Team is small, friendly and collaborative. You’ll be joining us at a critical and exciting time, when extra hands genuinely make a difference.
What we’re looking for
-
Reliable people who can commit their time - as little as 2 hrs per week can be a big help to a national charity
-
Team-players who are happy to roll up their sleeves and help where needed
This is an unpaid volunteer role, and we’re hugely grateful for the time and energy our volunteers give.
We appreciate the interest and enthusiasm of our community. As our team is very busy and our resources are limited, we kindly ask that those reaching out consider whether they can offer a consistent time commitment.

We are looking for a Board Associate to join our team. This is a unique, developmental role designed to give you firsthand experience of how a charity board operates while you build the skills and confidence to become a Trustee in the future.
Who We are:
Citizens Advice LeicesterShire is an independent and local non-profit organisation. Our purpose is “Sharing knowledge to transform lives”.

- Skill development: Build your experience in leadership, strategy, and governance—a huge asset for your CV.

You might be a great fit if you have:
- Strong organisational and planning skills.
- An interest in how charities or businesses are run.
- The ability to exercise good judgment and act independently.
- A commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
We particularly welcome applications from disabled people, those with physical or mental health conditions, LGBT+ and non-binary people, and people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, as we want our leadership to reflect the diverse communities we serve.
