Support group volunteer volunteer roles in united kingdom

Read Easy provides free, confidential, one to-one reading coaching for adults who struggle with reading, through a network of volunteer groups. Read Easy groups are changing the lives of individual adults across the country by providing them with the support they need to learn to read, and in turn opening doors for them to all sorts of new opportunities in life. You can read about the difference Read Easy makes here on our website.

Outline of the Coordinator role

The Coordinator is the first point of contact for those who want to learn to read. Using a simple assessment, the Coordinator will explain to a potential new ‘Reader’ how Read Easy may be able to help them. The Coordinator pairs up new Coaches with those who want to learn to read and provides ongoing support to these reading pairs. They visit reading sessions occasionally and maintain support through regular calls with both Reader and Coach to check all is going well, calling on the group’s Literacy Specialist to respond to any literacy related difficulties a pair may be having. Being a Read Easy Coordinator is very flexible. You decide how much time you have to offer, and this will determine the number of reading pairs you look after. The role provides lots of variety, is home-based and can work well around other commitments.

How we will support you

You will be provided with the Coordinator Handbook, training, induction, policies, resources and guidance specifically needed for this role, including access to support from a Read Easy UK Regional Adviser. In addition, the Coordinator Supporter will meet with you regularly to provide support and find out how your Reading Pairs are getting on. You will be invited to Read Easy UK’s volunteer forums and National Conference which gives volunteers an opportunity for networking with those from other groups.

What you will be doing:

● Help interview new Coaches when recruited and shortlisted by the Volunteer Recruiter.

● Enrol and assess new Readers, using the simple resources provided.

● Match Readers with Coaches, make introductions, and help them organise their reading sessions (which will take place in an approved venue or online).

● Visit your reading pairs to provide encouragement, presenting certificates on occasion.

● Work collaboratively with any other Coordinators in the group.

● Contribute to Coach meetings where volunteers discuss their experiences and receive further support. (Run by the Management Team typically every 8 weeks.)

● Attend Management Team meetings when invited, typically every 6-8 weeks either in person or remotely.

● Record progress of your reading pairs using resources provided, sharing these with the Management Team to keep them fully informed and submit expenses for payment egularly.

The skills you will need:

● A passion for supporting others achieve either their reading or coaching goals;

● A willingness to become familiar with the methods of the phonics based Turning Pages coaching manuals, so that you can confidently guide others;

● Good communication and people skills, with a commitment to maintaining confidentiality. Strong organisational, time management and record keeping skills;

● Self-awareness, personal responsibility and a professional approach;

● Reasonable confidence in using IT(accessing documents, completing electronic forms and records, email, Teams/Zoom meetings);

● The ability to use initiative and willingness to work independently and as part of a team;

● A willingness to abide by Read Easy policies and procedures;

● An open attitude that encourages two-way communication and willingness to ask for support from the Management Team;

● A non-judgemental attitude and respect for others, with a commitment to equality and diversity, so that you can make everyone feel valued and included;

● Energy and enthusiasm with an average of 2-3 hours a week to commit to the role.

What's in it for you? You will:

● receive outstanding Reading Coach Training;

● meet and work collaboratively with new people, and

● be active and engaged, adding value to your local community.

Could you be the person who helps a young man rewrite his future?
At Trailblazers, we believe in second chances. Since 1998, we’ve been mentoring young men in prison to reduce re-offending and inspire new futures. Through a programme of 1:1 mentoring and practical support, we support men aged 18–35 during the last 6 months of their sentence and for up to 12 months after release.

In London, our services run at HMP Brixton and HMPYOI Isis, and we’re looking for volunteer mentors who can commit half a day per week to help someone change their life.

What You’ll Do

• The criminal justice system
• Underrepresented communities (including BAME groups)

• Comfortable using basic IT and taking guidance from staff
• Willing to travel and undertake visits for mentoring sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis
• Committed to supporting one young man for up to a year

• Aged 21+
• British citizen (due to prison security checks)
• Live within 30 miles of the prison at which you want to volunteer
• Good level of fitness (prison visits may involve stairs and fast-paced movement)
• Not barred from working with vulnerable adults or children
• If you have lived experience of the criminal justice system, you must be off licence for at least 12 months and not in crisis

Are you passionate about improving children’s literacy and life chances? Schoolreaders is a leading children’s literacy charity and we’re seeking new Trustees to join our Board. This is a fantastic opportunity to use your expertise to help shape the overall direction and vision of our innovative and impactful charity.

Schoolreaders is a UK-based charity that provides one-to-one reading support to children in primary schools by matching them with local volunteers. We became the largest in-school reading support Charity in England in the 2024/25 academic year, supporting over 35,800 children each week. A significant portion of the children we support (45%) are eligible for Pupil Premium funding, and over 50% of partner schools are in disadvantaged areas.

As a Trustee, you will work with the executive team and other Trustees to ensure the charity remains mission-drive, financially resilient, and effective in delivering its high-impact literacy support. The role involves shaping and challenging our strategy, championing evidence-based interventions, and acting as an ambassador for the charity. We are looking for candidates with expertise in two key areas: IT and digital marketing, and education.

Specific experience desired includes:

IT and Digital Marketing
The Board would benefit from stronger insight into organisational IT systems and efficiencies in operational processes, particularly the management of cyber security risks and the strategic adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Broader experience in overseeing IT strategy and infrastructure would also be highly valuable. If candidates also bring digital media experience — such as online recruitment, fundraising campaigns, or strengthening web presence — this would be an asset, but it is not the primary focus. This expertise could come from any sector, and candidates may have held senior leadership roles such as Chief Information Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Digital Officer, or similar positions with responsibility for IT strategy, systems, or security.

Education
The Board welcomes applications from those with current experience as a primary school practitioner, ideally within the state sector. Insight into challenges linked to deprivation and the use of educational technology would be particularly valuable in shaping policy, practice and partnership development. Candidates may have held leadership roles such as Head of Department, Assistant Head, Deputy Head, Headteacher, Chief Executive, or Director of Education. Appointees will also join the Education Safeguarding Consultation Group (meets three times per year).

Above all, successful candidates will be motivated by the mission of Schoolreaders and committed to supporting children’s literacy and life chances.

This is a voluntary role, though reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses will be reimbursed. The commitment includes six virtual Board meetings per year, one in-person annual meeting, and an annual strategy day. The initial term is three years, with the possibility of renewal.

The deadline to apply is Midnight on 29th October 2025. The recruitment process is being administered in partnership with Nurole.

About CAAS

CAAS provides an Autism and ADHD Support Service across the 8 boroughs of NW London from our base in Eastcote and offices around London. We offer information, advice, and support to ADHD/Autistic people, their families, and professionals, with the aim of improving quality of life and building neurodivergent-aware communities.

We are incredibly fortunate to be in a sound financial position, with income of around £1.7m per year, and around 40 staff.  We offer 60 different services, including personalised one2one support, social groups, psycho-education courses and specialist workshops.  We also have a thriving training and awareness raising service, providing ADHD and autism training to statutory services, schools and voluntary sector organisations across NW London.

We’ve grown steadily over the last 25 years, and last year we supported more than 9,000 people, across 18,000 attendances.  Looking ahead, our priority is making sure everyone who could benefit from CAAS knows we’re here for them. We’re investing in outreach, inclusivity, and accessibility - breaking down barriers so our support reaches every corner of our community.

In this role, you will be leading the established (and lovely) Board of Trustees, who provide operational governance for the charity, determine its strategic direction, and help shape a positive, sustainable future for CAAS and the communities we serve.

Most importantly, you will be contributing towards our impact intention, which is that ADHD and autistic individuals, and those who support them, have improved mental wellbeing, are better able to engage with home-life, school, or work, and need less support from NHS/statutory services.  Ultimately, we want to help people to thrive.

To Apply

Please submit your CV and a Supporting Statement of no more than 2 sides of A4.  Your supporting statement should cover why you are interested in applying for the role, and how you fit the role and person specification.

About The Role

Charities like CAAS can only exist with the help of Trustees, and we are hugely grateful to everyone that volunteers to take on this role.  The Chair plays a unique role in guiding the Board, leading strategic discussions, supporting and challenging the CEO, and fostering a culture of inclusion, transparency, and good governance. 

We work hard to ensure the Chair is supported effectively to discharge their responsibilities and feel a sense of pride – and of enjoyment – in leading the Board of CAAS.

As Chair, you will work closely with fellow Trustees to ensure the Board fulfils its responsibilities, and with the CEO to provide support, oversight, and thought partnership. This is a rewarding opportunity to help shape the future of a thriving, impactful organisation, and to champion the rights and wellbeing of neurodivergent people across NW London.

We know that every Chair is unique, and bring their own range of skills, experience, and perspectives to support the organisation’s leadership and development.  We are therefore looking for someone who has a passion for what CAAS is trying to achieve and a willingness to commit to attending our meetings and leading our discussions.  You don’t need to have chaired a Board before. We’re looking for someone who can lead with integrity, listen well, and help us make thoughtful, inclusive decisions.

Having a Diverse Board

CAAS recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equity and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and we are particularly seeking applications from Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority communities, from disadvantage socio-economic backgrounds, and from people who identify as being autistic or having ADHD. 

We have recently completed a skills audit of the current Trustee board, and as well as looking to increase the diversity of our board, we would also particularly welcome applications from those who identify as having particular skills in the areas of HR & legal, digital & IT, statutory services provision, or marketing & communications. 

Please don’t be put off applying if you don’t have one of these skills or attributes or are worried that you don’t meet all of the points noted in this role description.  Every trustee who joins will receive a comprehensive induction and training package, and be supported by current trustees, so there will be lots of opportunity to learn ‘on the job’ for the right candidate.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership and Governance

· Provide leadership to the Board, ensuring effective governance and strategic oversight.

· Chair Board meetings effectively, ensuring all voices are heard and decisions are made collectively and transparently.

· Take urgent decisions between Board meetings where necessary, in line with delegated authority and in consultation with trustees

· Ensure the Board regularly reviews its own performance and effectiveness

· Champion equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of the charity’s governance and culture.

Support and Mentoring

· Act as a mentor and support to the CEO, providing guidance and challenge as appropriate.

· Facilitate strong working relationships between trustees and the senior leadership team.

· Act as Vice Chair during the transition period, supporting succession planning, continuity, and building relationships with the Board and CEO.

Representation and Advocacy

· Represent CAAS externally, where appropriate, including at events, meetings, and with key stakeholders.

· Act as an ambassador for the charity’s mission, values, and strategic priorities.

Board Development

· Lead on trustee recruitment, induction, and development, ensuring the Board has the necessary skills and diversity.

· Conduct annual Board performance reviews and support continuous improvement in governance practices.

Board Participation

· Attend and actively participate in quarterly Board meetings and relevant sub-committees or working groups.

· Prepare for meetings by reading papers and contributing to discussions.

· Participate in Board development activities, including training and annual reviews.

· Champion equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of the charity’s governance and culture.

Person Specification

Essential

· Demonstrable leadership experience, ideally within a governance or strategic context.

· Passion for CAAS work

· Capacity to attend meetings, and willingness to devote the time and commitment required.

· Strong understanding of charity governance and the role of trustees.

· Commitment to CAAS’s mission, values, and strategic pillars.

· Excellent communication and facilitation skills.

· Ability to build consensus and manage differing views constructively.

Desirable

· Lived or professional experience of ADHD or autism.

· Being from a disadvantaged socio-economic background, or from a minority ethnic background

· Previous experience as a trustee or Chair.

· Understanding of equity, diversity and inclusion principles and their application in governance.

Commitment

The Board meets 8 times a year, mostly by video call, and Board meetings are usually around 2hrs in length.  Once a year we meet for a longer session, in person, to consider strategic items in more depth.

All Trustees will be asked to read a few papers in advance of the meeting, which could take 1-2hrs each meeting. 

All Trustees are also encouraged to engage with the organisation between meetings, for example attending events, meeting staff, or supporting specific initiatives.

The Chair will need to take on additional responsibility for preparing for Board meetings, supporting through transition periods and strategic planning cycles, or representing CAAS at external events.  As such, the total time commitment for a Chair is around 1 day per month. 

The successful candidate will initially join as Vice Chair, working alongside our longstanding Chair, whose term ends in November 2026.  Appointment to Chair will be mutually agreed with the Board, on or before that date

Trustee Terms are ordinarily for 4 years, and Trustees can be appointed for a 2nd 4-year term if desired. Chairs will serve within their normal Trustee Terms.

Exclusions

Please note that Section 72(1) of the Charities Act 1993 disqualifies anyone who:

· has been convicted of an offence involving deception or dishonesty, unless the conviction is spent

· is an undischarged bankrupt

· has previously been removed from trusteeship of a charity by the court or the Charity Commissioners

· is under a disqualification order under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986

It is an offence to act as a charity trustee while disqualified unless the Charity Commission has given a waiver under section 72(4) of the Charities Act 1993.

CAAS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  The successful candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS disclosure.
