So far, we’ve already reached 19,000 students in-person and are connected with a third of all Welsh state secondary schools and colleges. In 2025, we’re aiming to reach 13,000 more young people — and we’re looking for a passionate colleague to help us make that happen.

- Connecting volunteers with schools and colleges, ensuring young people benefit from inspiring talks and workshops.
- Developing and maintaining strong relationships with schools, employers, and volunteers.
- Listening and adapting to the needs of young people, ensuring our programme creates real value for them and the stakeholders we work with.
You’ll be part of a flexible, entrepreneurial, and collaborative team that works remotely across Wales but comes together for events, volunteer training, school meetings, and team meet-ups. We set high expectations for ourselves and each other, value individual contributions, and celebrate shared success.
We’re seeking someone who is:
- Passionate about helping young people succeed.
- Fully committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Self-motivated and proactive, with a “can-do” attitude.
- Highly organised, able to juggle multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
- Skilled at building strong relationships, particularly with schools and colleges.
- Resilient, tenacious, and excited by new opportunities.
- Creative and open to trying new ideas.
- Ambitious for themselves and the charity.
- Confident with technology and has strong computer literacy.
Desirable:
- Experience within educational settings or working with young people in Wales.
- The ability to communicate in the medium of Welsh.
Essential:
- Based in North Wales, or locations within England that are near to the border (e.g. Liverpool, Chester, Manchester)
- While not required, we particularly welcome applications from people who have experienced some of the challenges young people across Wales face today.
At Working Options, we believe in:
- Empowering volunteers to deliver high-quality talks and workshops.
- Providing a first-class service for schools that trust us with their students.
- Supporting each other to innovate, grow, and make real impact.
You’ll be joining a team that’s already changing lives — but we’re just getting started. With your help, we can reach even more young people and open up new opportunities for their future.
If this sounds like the right environment for you, we’d love to hear from you.

About Action for ME
Action for ME is the only charity in the UK providing support, including healthcare, to people of all ages affected by ME. The charity was founded by Sue Finlay in 1987 and since then has been taking holistic approach so we can make an impact on multiple fronts - from amplifying the voices of people affected by ME in Government and leading on breakthrough research, to providing "lifeline" support and unique healthcare services on a daily basis.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), sometimes referred to and diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), is a chronic, fluctuating disease, causing symptoms such as post-exertional malaise (PEM), sleep problems, problems with thinking and memory (brain fog), pain and crushing fatigue. There are an estimated 1.3 million people living with ME or ME-like symptoms, including PEM, in the UK alone.
Even in its so-called mildest form, ME can have a significant impact on an individual’s life, and not just on their health. A lack of understanding and awareness about ME means patients can experience disbelief, and even discrimination, from friends, family, health and social care professionals, employers and teachers.
For the first time there is an increased awareness of post viral illness because of the Covid -19 pandemic. After decades of neglect this offers Action for ME an opportunity to accelerate our work for people with ME in a way we have never been able to do before. The intent of everything we do is to pursue positive impact for the lives, rights, and futures of people affected by ME.
