Build the operational engine of a movement transforming lives across England.
Unlock YOUR Potential is a passionate, volunteer‑run social mobility charity supporting adults from working‑class, low‑income, and underserved communities. We break down barriers, open doors, and equip people with the skills, tools, networks, and confidence to thrive.
We are now seeking a strategic, organised, and mission‑driven Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead the operational heartbeat of the charity. This is a defining leadership role for a movement with national ambition — perfect for someone who wants to build systems, structures, and processes that empower real, lasting change.
About the Role
As our Chief Operating Officer, you will oversee the day‑to‑day running of the charity, ensuring our programmes, people, and operations work seamlessly together.

Safeguarding Panel Member
Volunteer role
3-year term
Location - The post-holder will be expected to participate in regular Panel meetings, held on a quarterly basis. Some meetings will be online, while others may be held at the Provincial Office at Callaghan Square, Cardiff or another suitable venue to facilitate travel by Panel members from across Wales. Expenses will be reimbursed to cover the cost of travel.
Hours - Meetings are normally scheduled for 2 to 3 hours. In addition, a further 2 to 4 hours reading time may be required to peruse meeting papers and casework in advance of discussion. Papers are circulated a week in advance of meetings.
The Representative Body of the Church in Wales is the national administrative body of the Church in Wales. We have an exciting opportunity for a Safeguarding Panel Member to provide independent scrutiny and expert advice in relation to Provincial safeguarding casework, including responses to concerns relating to clergy, church officers and employees of the Church in Wales, support for survivors, safeguarding risk assessment and offender management.
Additionally, the Panel Member will be required to review and make recommendations to Bishops made by Provincial Safeguarding Officers in respect of casework and safeguarding risk management. (The committee does not hold decision-making responsibility for safeguarding concerns and risk management but exists to provide quality assurance of the response to safeguarding casework within the Church in Wales).
We believe that safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility, and that good safeguarding must be at the heart of all that the Church in Wales does.
The successful candidate will provide strong, and informed advice to our organisation and bring a breadth of experience and specialist knowledge that helps protect our staff and congregation. We are therefore looking to recruit a person with experience within statutory safeguarding organisations.
If you can think at a strategic level, quickly absorb complex information, and be decisive in your decision making, why not apply to be a panel member.
The successful candidate will be required to complete a satisfactory Basic DBS check.
