Why Join?
-
Your experience will drive real change — in Living Reasons and in wider society.
-
You’ll be part of a community where lived experience is valued, respected, and heard.#

The Role
As an Innovations Officer, you’ll take the lead on a unique innovation project—overseeing it from idea to reality. Each project is designed to keep our charity current, exciting, and impactful, whether that’s through new activities, resources, or systems that improve how we operate.
You’ll work with and manage a dedicated Innovations Subcommittee, guiding the project through planning, testing, reviewing, and rolling out across chapters. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, project management, and bringing creative ideas to life.
The Innovations Officer will:
-
Create a clear project outline (aims, budget, timeline, required skills, and success criteria).
-
Recruit and manage a subcommittee, ensuring the right mix of skills to make the project a success.
-
Oversee project administration, including risk assessments, task logs, and reflection templates.
-
Design, test, and pilot the project, gathering feedback from volunteers and chapters.
-
Evaluate and improve the project through multiple testing rounds before rollout.
-
Support full implementation, ensuring it becomes embedded into the charity’s work.
-
Keep trustees updated with regular progress reports and updates at leadership meetings.
What We’re Looking For
-
Strong organisational and project management skills.
-
Creativity and a problem-solving mindset.
-
Ability to lead and support a team of volunteers.
-
Willingness to adapt, reflect, and improve upon feedback.
-
An interest in developing new ideas and approaches.
-
No specific technical background is required—just enthusiasm and commitment!
What You’ll Gain
-
Hands-on experience managing a project from start to finish.
-
Skills in leadership, delegation, and innovation.
-
The chance to bring your ideas to life and see them make a real difference.
-
A collaborative, supportive environment with other volunteers.
