PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT PAID WORK

Fine Cell Work (FCW) is a UK-based rehabilitation charity and social enterprise. We are supported by an incredible team of prison volunteers who are the link between the charity and the stitchers we work with in prison. Our volunteers run fortnightly stitching groups in the prisons we work with to facilitate our stitchers’ production of high-quality needlework.

Our prison volunteers work in small teams to teach our stitchers’ embroidery and needlepoint, organise their group sessions, and liaise with the prison and FCW office.

What you will do as a prison volunteer:

• Teach people in prison how to stitch and support the completion of our premade kits in our cell groups, which consist of around 10-15 stitchers.
• Communicate with staff at our hub in Battersea to receive kits and supplies for your group and send back completed work for your stitchers to be paid.
• Encourage and help stitchers to complete our Open College Network certifications in creative needlework.
• Develop stitchers’ skills and confidence by encouraging them to take responsibility as peer mentors.
• Act as an ambassador for the charity and sharing our vision and values throughout your volunteering.

Who we are looking for:

• Skills in embroidery and/or needlepoint or a willingness to learn to stitch is essential for this role.
• Ideally some teaching experience or experience working with socially-excluded groups.
• Someone with a non-judgemental attitude and commitment to rehabilitation.
• Someone who is an excellent team worker.
• Someone who is good at observing personal boundaries.

Commitment: our stitching groups run for 2 hours every fortnight, so with travel time and some admin work after groups we ask prison volunteers to set aside a morning or afternoon every 2 weeks.

You must be over 18 for this role with the ability to travel to the prison. Travel expenses will be reimbursed by the charity.

Please take some time to read the role description to find out more details about the role and what we offer to our prison volunteers. 

At Fine Cell Work, we know diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong. We therefore particularly encourage applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented amongst FCW’s prison volunteers. This includes applicants from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+, and male identifying applicants.

Join The Space as a Non-Executive Director and bring your passion for arts, heritage and culture, professional expertise and shared belief in the power of digital technology to revolutionise access to the arts to help secure the future of digital innovation in arts and culture.

Applications close: Monday 19th May 2025

Location: UK-wide with a registered office in Birmingham

Time commitment: c.1 day per month

About The Space

The Space exists to enable the arts, culture and heritage sectors to engage audiences using digital and broadcast content and platforms.

Founded in 2013 by Arts Council England and the BBC, we are an independent not for profit community interest company. Our role is to fund the creation of new digital cultural content and provide free training, mentoring and online resources for organisations, artists and creative practitioners.

We believe embracing digital is essential to the future of cultural activity. Digital technologies have the power to open up new ways for people to access, participate in, and share, the rich diversity of UK culture. Applying these strategically enables new artistic forms, attracts new audiences and makes cultural experiences democratic and available to all. The Space prioritises creating new engagement opportunities for people who are currently under-represented in cultural content and across broadcast and digital media.

The Space is based in the West Midlands. Our team of ten employees are located throughout the UK and work predominantly from home. They are supported by a network of around 80 freelance associates enabling us to give those we support access to specialist digital and broadcast skills in their own regions.

About the roles

You will work with our new Chair, Ri Chakraborty, and other members of the Board to provide governance and oversight and ensure the effective delivery of The Space’s community interest objectives.

You will act as a critical friend, constructively challenging both the Board and the Executive team to develop the organisation’s capabilities.

You will enjoy advocating for our work and supporting our ambitious agenda to help cultural organisations across the UK and internationally to thrive through their use of cultural digital content.

Who we are looking for

For the finance specialist, you will provide oversight and review of relevant financial procedures, controls and policies, ensuring that the organisation is operating within a sound financial framework, managing risk appropriately, is compliant with its legal financial obligations and is accountable to the Board.

A strong familiarity with not for profit governance is beneficial, alongside experience overseeing public funding and a passion for arts, culture and technology.

For the generalist role, we are looking for a Non-Executive Director with senior experience and, ideally, previous board experience. You will be familiar with governance in the not for profit sector, alongside senior experience in either the arts, culture, and/or heritage sectors.

You will understand digital and/or broadcast content production and be an advocate for the benefits of using technology to increase equitable access to cultural content for audiences.

You will bring a creative, curious and entrepreneurial mindset, excited by The Space’s plans and committed to supporting its ambitions.

Please click 'Apply via website’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the candidate profile and register your interest to apply.

Applications for these roles close on Monday 19th May 2025.

Members are led by the Chair who is responsible for preparing an independent report on an annual basis that will be submitted to the Trustees and will form part of the Professional Standards Authority annual accreditation renewal reporting.

In 2021 the British Psychological Society launched a new voluntary register for certain roles within the psychological workforce currently without statutory or other registering bodies. This important work ensures that these roles (currently Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners, Clinical Associate in Psychology, Children’s Wellbeing Practitioner, Clinical Associates in Applied Psychology, Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner and Education Mental Health Practitioner with a view to expand to other roles) ensures public safety, registrant accountability and a framework of fitness to practice including handling and investigating complaints.

The Registration Advisory Panel are responsible for strategic oversight of the Wider Psychological Workforce Register and reports directly into the Board of Trustees. The panel aims to hold the society to account against standards set by the PSA and its own policies on areas such as complaints, register developments, audit and accountability and reporting.
