Volunteer volunteer roles in Barnet, greater london

Our vision for volunteering

Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.

The difference you will make to cats and people

Unfortunately, thousands of cats each year are abandoned or have strayed and rely on charities like Cats Protection for help. Becoming a trap, neuter and return (TNR) volunteer is one way you can make a real difference to cats in your local area. Our TNR volunteers help reduce the number of feral cats by raising awareness of our TNR programmes, setting humane traps to safely capture cats, taking them to local vets to be neutered, and hopefully returning them back to their territory. Local TNR programmes are crucial, as feral and abandoned cats present a huge challenge for communities across the UK.

You can expect us to 

• Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
• Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
• Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
• Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities

Community Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers (CARAS) is a registered charity that has been supporting refugees and asylum-seekers since 2002 empowering them to integrate and engage in the local community.

• Justice: CARAS will strive for social justice following a rights-based approach in all our work and challenging instances when rights are not upheld in wider society. 

• Empowerment: CARAS works alongside people, recognising and respecting their skills and strengths and striving together for better outcomes. 

• ‘With’ not ‘for’: CARAS will put the voices, opinions, experiences and needs of its beneficiaries at the heart of all that we do.

If you’re ready to help us develop the people who drive change, we’d love to hear from you.

Unlock YOUR Potential:

Help us build a future where no one is left behind.

We Need Your Help!

Demand for our support is rising rapidly, and Unlock YOUR Potential is growing faster than our systems can keep up. We’re ready to scale — but we cannot build a strong, sustainable, high‑impact organisation without someone who can bring structure, strategy, and operational excellence to our mission.

We urgently need a leader who believes in empowerment, community, and the power of well‑designed systems to change lives.

Become Our Volunteer Head of Operations / COO and Help Build the Engine of Unlock YOUR Potential

Unlock YOUR Potential supports NEET adults (18+) across East London to rebuild confidence, access coaching, improve wellbeing, and reconnect with their ambitions. As a start‑up preparing for charity registration, we are building everything from scratch — and we need someone who can turn our vision into a well‑run, well‑organised, high‑quality organisation.

This is not just an operational role. This is your chance to build the entire operational backbone of a future charity.

Your Impact

As our Head of Operations / COO, you will be the architect of how Unlock YOUR Potential functions day to day. Your leadership will shape the systems, processes, and structures that allow us to deliver safe, effective, and life‑changing support.

You will help us:

• Build the operational infrastructure needed for charity registration

• Create systems that support volunteers, coaches, mentors, and programme leads

• Develop processes that ensure smooth, consistent service delivery

• Strengthen safeguarding, data protection, and quality assurance

• Support the Founder and Board with strategic planning and organisational development

• Ensure we grow sustainably, ethically, and with long‑term impact in mind

Your work will directly influence how many adults we can support — and how well we support them.

What You’ll Lead On

• Operational Strategy: Designing the systems and processes that underpin all programmes and services.

• Day‑to‑Day Management: Ensuring the organisation runs smoothly, efficiently, and safely.

• Safeguarding & Compliance: Working with the Safeguarding Lead and Company Secretary to maintain best practice.

• Volunteer & Team Support: Helping the team stay organised, aligned, and supported.

• Risk Management: Identifying challenges early and building solutions that keep participants safe.

• Organisational Growth: Supporting the Founder in scaling programmes, partnerships, and operations.

This is a strategic and hands‑on leadership role — ideal for someone who loves building structure, solving problems, and making things work.

What You Bring

You don’t need to have worked in a charity before — what matters most is leadership, organisation, and a passion for social impact.

You may be:

• Experienced in operations, project management, service delivery, or organisational development

• Skilled at building systems, processes, and workflows

• A natural problem‑solver who thrives in start‑up environments

• Someone who understands the challenges faced by NEET adults or brings lived experience

• A leader who wants to use their skills to build something meaningful for East London

Above all, you bring integrity, clarity, and a commitment to helping people unlock their potential.

What You Gain

• A senior leadership role in a growing social impact start‑up

• The chance to build the operational foundations of a future charity

• Real influence over how adults in East London access life‑changing support

• Experience in organisational strategy, operations, and charity development

• A meaningful legacy — your work will shape how we function for years to come

This is an opportunity to build the engine of an organisation with purpose.
