GMYN is seeking to recruit new trustees with the passion and drive to move the charity forward with our recently updated strategy.

Since 2007, we have supported over 15,000 young people across Greater Manchester who face significant challenges, including those with experience of the care system, young refugees, and those with social or mental health needs. We don’t just deliver programmes; we provide a "family" and a platform for young people to have their voices heard.

Following our 2025 Trustee Skills Audit, we are entering an exciting period of new opportunities and are looking for three new trustees to join our passionate board. We are looking for individuals who share our values of compassion, creativity, courage, learning and fun.

We are specifically seeking expertise/experience in the following high-priority areas:

• Finance & Audit Trustee: To provide scrutiny of financial information, budgeting, and support our long-term financial resilience.
• Fundraising & Income Generation Trustee: To help shape our fundraising strategy, focusing on corporate partnerships, grants, and traded income.
• Digital & Communications Trustee: To lead our digital strategy, helping us amplify our brand and marketing efforts.
• Young Trustees - Please see section below on “lived experience”.

However, you do not need to be an expert in these areas to apply. We welcome applications from anyone who shares our values. We believe that a diverse board with a wide range of perspectives is what makes us strong.

The Value of Lived Experience

GMYN aims to create an inclusive welcoming environment for young people and all those who work or volunteer at GMYN or wish to join #TeamGMYN.

Whilst our staff and board of trustees are diverse in many ways, we recognise we are not fully representative of the communities that we serve, and we want to change this. We especially encourage applications from the Global Majority, people from working-class backgrounds, and disabled or neurodiverse individuals.

At GMYN, we believe young people shouldn't just be part of our programmes—they should help lead them. We are looking for new Trustees help shape our future. We strongly encourage applications from:

• Young leaders (18+) who want to make a difference in Greater Manchester.
• Experts by experience: the unique insights you have from navigating the care system, living with a disability, or being a young person in Greater Manchester today. Your first-hand knowledge helps us make better, fairer decisions.
• People who currently use, or have previously been involved in, GMYN programmes including beneficaries, volunteers or GMYN alumni.

Your personal insight and "youth voice" are just as valuable to us as professional qualifications and experience. We want our board to reflect the diverse communities and the resilient young people we serve.

Why join #TeamGMYN?

Our current trustees choose to be part of GMYN because they want to:

• Make a meaningful difference for young people facing disadvantage.
• Gain a deeper sense of purpose by contributing to a cause rooted in compassion.
• Connect with diverse people and new perspectives within the community.
• Share their own knowledge to help more young people thrive.

The commitment

We expect trustees to try and attend all meetings. We have around 5 to 6 evening trustee meetings each year (on-line and face-to-face) plus attendance at the annual strategic planning day.

In addition to this trustees are encouraged to visit our projects and participate in focused working groups as and when needed.

Person Specification

Experience of youth work is not required to be a GMYN Trustee. Neither is previous experience as a trustee.

The main qualities that we are looking for are:

• A demonstrable passion for supporting young people so that they can build a positive future for themselves.
• Commitment to regularly attend and fully engage in board meetings and be pro-active in-between meetings.
• The ability to think at a strategic level and leave the day-to-day operation of the charity to the Senior Leadership Team.
• The ability to work collaboratively with other Trustees and senior level staff.
• Curiosity and the ability to ask challenging questions when required.
• Skills and experiences that are relevant to the high-priority areas as shown above.

Guidance for applicants 

If having read this information you would like to apply, we would suggest you set up a short informal chat with our Chair, Liam McDaid Jones. He can provide you with a bit more background to GMYN; where we’ve come from, and where we are heading. He can also answer any other questions you may have about the trustee role.

Job description

Are you driven by purpose over profit, and motivated to use visual storytelling responsibly?

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is seeking a Founding Volunteer Creative Visual Producer / Ad Designer to help shape how our movement is experienced visually across digital spaces.

This is not commercial advertising work.
It is truth-led visual storytelling.

Our C.I.C. exists to confront and expose the realities of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), centre survivor truth and accountability, support young people into economic empowerment, and build community-owned, open-source systems that serve people rather than capital.

We are:

• Values-led

• Anti-capitalist

• Community-driven

• Decentralised by design

We are not here to produce promotional visuals for clicks alone. We are here to communicate truth responsibly — building trust, inviting participation, and ensuring survivor-centred work is represented with care, dignity, and cultural integrity.

This role offers the opportunity to help build the visual language of a movement.

About the Role

As our Founding Creative Visual Producer / Ad Designer, you will produce clear, accessible, and emotionally responsible visual content to support digital campaigns, fundraising appeals, podcast promotion, and community education during our build and early growth phase.

You will not inherit a finished brand system.
You will help shape and define it.

Your work will translate complex and sensitive themes into ethical visual communication. You will help ensure that how people see the organisation aligns with how we protect and respect those we serve.

This role blends creativity with responsibility. You must be comfortable designing for serious subject matter, collaborating across teams, and refining visuals based on feedback and performance insight.

  • Social media ads

  • Stories and carousels

  • Banners and posters

• Ability to design sensitively around serious and emotional subject matter.

• Willingness to work within trauma-informed, safeguarding, and ethical design frameworks.

Desirable / Can Be Developed

• Experience working in non-profit, CIC, or community-led organisations.

• Understanding of ethical communication and safeguarding principles.

• Ability to adapt design based on performance data or community feedback.

• Experience creating reusable templates or design systems.

Qualifications

Formal qualifications are not required.
Equivalent practical experience in creative visual production or design is highly valued.

Main Responsibilities / Key Duties

• Design visual assets for digital campaigns, including:

  • Social media graphics

  • Advertisements

  • Banners and posters

  • Carousels and campaign visuals

• Develop visual concepts for fundraising and awareness campaigns.

• Produce reusable layouts and templates for cross-team use.

• Adapt visuals for multiple formats including social media, email campaigns, websites, and presentations.

• Work closely with copywriters, analysts, and campaign leads to align visuals with messaging and strategy.

• Ensure all visual content follows safeguarding, ethical, and trauma-aware design guidelines.

• Maintain consistency with the C.I.C.’s brand identity and tone.

• Contribute creative ideas for campaigns, launches, and digital initiatives.

• Review and refine visuals based on performance insight and feedback.

• Prepare and organise files for storage, reuse, and distribution in shared systems.

• Flag safeguarding, ethical, or reputational risks within visual content.

• Support the development of scalable visual practices not dependent on single individuals.

What You Gain

• Founding-level experience in creative visual production and ethical design.

• Strategic insight into community-based creative systems.

• Leadership exposure in working with sensitive subject matter responsibly.

• Direct contribution to C.I.C. sustainability and long-term impact.

• Opportunity to build the visual language of a survivor-led movement.

• Priority consideration for future paid roles as the C.I.C. scales.

This Role Is Not Suitable If You:

• Prefer low-responsibility volunteer work.

• Prefer designing purely commercial or entertainment-focused content.

• Are uncomfortable engaging with serious or emotionally sensitive subject matter.

• Are seeking short-term or one-off creative tasks.

• Prefer working without collaboration, feedback, or safeguarding frameworks.

Important to Be Clear

• This is a volunteer role during the C.I.C.’s build phase.

• It carries real responsibility for ethical storytelling and public trust.

• Formal qualifications are not required, but equivalent experience is essential.

Next Steps

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:

• A practical discussion about visual storytelling, tone, and ethical communication

If you believe that design shapes perception — and that visual storytelling must protect as much as it persuades — we want to hear from you.

Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties

Membership Strategy & Structure

• Design and implement the CIC’s founding membership model, defining clear entry points, engagement pathways, and retention approaches rooted in participation rather than extraction.
• Shape intentional progression routes that support members to move from supporter → contributor → leader, ensuring growth in responsibility, agency, and influence over time.
• Align membership pathways with donor journeys, ambassador programmes, and volunteering routes, ensuring coherence across engagement, fundraising, and advocacy without conflating value with money.

Community Building

• Create a membership culture where people consistently feel seen, informed, included, and valued, regardless of role, status, or capacity.
• Establish sustainable rhythms of communication, updates, shared learning, and reflection that foster belonging, trust, and transparency.
• Enable decentralised participation by supporting member-led initiatives, peer leadership, and collective decision-making rather than top-down control.
• Act as a steward of healthy community dynamics, encouraging dialogue, accountability, and mutual care.

Systems & Data

• Oversee the setup and ongoing use of membership systems (e.g. CiviCRM or equivalent), ensuring they serve people rather than manage them.
• Track and interpret membership growth, engagement, and retention, using insight to strengthen participation and address disengagement early.
• Work collaboratively with Digital, Finance, and Social teams to maintain clean, accurate data and ensure ethical, transparent, and values-aligned data use.

Values & Culture

• Protect the integrity of the membership community by upholding CIC values in all structures, communications, and decisions.

What You Gain

• A founding leadership role in a growing CIC

The chance to help design:

• Future paid roles

• Income structures

• Working culture

• Deep personal transformation through meaningful work

• Real contribution to social and cultural change

• Collective success, not individual competition

As the CIC scales, this role is expected to evolve into a paid senior leadership position, shaped by those who built it.

A Final Word

We are not offering security.

We are offering possibility.

We are not promising ease.

We are building truth, structure, and collective power.

If you know the old world is ending —

and you want to help build what comes next —

This role is for you.
