Become the Assistant for Recruitment of the Principality of Lys

A Call to Purpose. A Call to Craftsmanship. A Call to Shape the Future.

For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has been quietly building its cultural foundations, refining its identity, and preparing for a new era. In 2027, we step forward — publicly, proudly, and with purpose — to host events, open our doors to the world, and begin the long‑awaited journey toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.

To rise into this new chapter, we need builders. We need visionaries. We need those who can see potential in people and help them find their place in history.

This is where you come in.

Join the Heart of Our Growing Nation

Assistant for Recruitment

A volunteer role for those who believe in people, purpose, and possibility.

You will work closely with the Head and Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps to help shape the lifeblood of our future: our volunteers.

Your mission is simple yet profound — to help find, welcome, and guide the individuals who will build the next era of Lys.

This is not just administration. This is nation‑crafting.

Why This Role Matters

Every great movement begins with a handful of people who dared to step forward. Your work will help us find them.

As Assistant for Recruitment, you will:

• Help identify individuals with passion, creativity, and honour

• Reach out across the world to invite new volunteers

• Shape the first impressions future citizens will have of Lys

• Support the creation of a diverse, international volunteer community

• Help build the foundations of our hybrid and in‑person volunteer programmes

You will be one of the first voices people hear — a guide, a steward, a welcoming presence.

Your efforts will echo far into the future.

What You Will Do

In this role, you will:

• Assist in designing and posting recruitment campaigns

• Help review applications and connect with potential volunteers

• Support interviews, introductions, and onboarding

• Maintain communication with new recruits

• Work with the Volunteer Corps leadership to refine our recruitment strategy

• Promote the values of honour, service, and creativity that define Lys

You will help build the community that will one day stand on our land.

Who You Are

You don’t need experience in HR or recruitment. You need heart, curiosity, and a desire to help people find their place.

You are someone who:

• Enjoys meeting new people

• Has a warm, welcoming presence

• Is organised and reliable

• Believes in service and community

• Wants to be part of something meaningful

• Feels called to help shape a nation from the ground up

If you’ve ever wanted to help build a legacy — one person at a time — this is your moment.

Your Invitation to Step Forward

The Principality of Lys is ready to grow. We have the land. We have the vision. We have the foundations.

Now we seek those who will help bring others into the story.

• Will you help us find the pioneers, the dreamers, the builders of tomorrow?
• Will you take your place in the unfolding history of Lys?

Step Forward as Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps of the Principality of Lys

A Call to Service. A Call to Imagination. A Call to Build a Legacy.

For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has been quietly shaping its cultural foundations, preparing its identity, and laying the groundwork for a future unlike any other. In 2027, we begin a new era — one of public presence, international engagement, and the first steps toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.

To rise into that future, we need leaders. Not just one — but a pair of guiding lights.

And this is where you come in.

Become the Right Hand of the Volunteer Corps

Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps

A volunteer role for those who feel the pull of purpose.

This is your chance to stand at the heart of a growing nation — not as a politician, but as a guardian of community, creativity, and service.

You will work alongside the Head of the Volunteer Corps to build an international volunteer programme that spans:

• Remote roles

• Hybrid opportunities

• In‑person service on the land of Lys itself

Your leadership will help shape the culture of honour, chivalry, and civic spirit that will define the next era of our Principality.

Why This Role Matters

Every great nation is built not only by its leaders, but by those who stand beside them — the ones who carry the torch, steady the course, and help transform vision into reality.

As Deputy Head, you will be:

• A builder of systems

• A supporter of people

• A champion of creativity

• A steward of community

• A co‑architect of the future of Lys

Your work will help us grow faster, stronger, and with deeper purpose.

You will be part of the team that sows the foundations of a new chapter in our history.

What You Will Do

As Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps, you will:

• Support the creation and management of the volunteer programme

• Help recruit, train, and guide volunteers across the world

• Assist in designing hybrid and in‑person opportunities

• Strengthen community engagement and volunteer wellbeing

• Uphold the values of honour, service, and creativity

• Step into leadership when needed, ensuring continuity and stability

This is a role for someone who wants to build, not just follow.

Who You Are

You don’t need titles or credentials. You need heart.

You are someone who:

• Believes in service

• Thrives in teamwork

• Enjoys organising and supporting others

• Has a creative spark

• Wants to be part of something meaningful

• Feels called to help shape a nation from the ground up

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of history — not as a spectator, but as a builder — this is your moment.

Your Invitation to Step Forward

The Principality of Lys is ready to grow. We have the land. We have the vision. We have the foundations.

Now we need those who will help bring it all to life.

1. Will you stand with us?
2. Will you help shape the future?
3. Will you take your place in the story of Lys?

Become the First Head of the Volunteer Corps of the Principality of Lys

A Call to Honour. A Call to Creativity. A Call to History.

For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has quietly prepared its foundations — cultural, philosophical, and civic — for a moment that is now approaching. In 2027, we begin our next chapter: public events, international outreach, transparent nation‑building, and the first steps toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.

But before that chapter can be written, one role must be filled. A role for someone with courage, imagination, and a sense of destiny.

We Are Seeking a Beacon of Honour and Chivalry

Head of the Volunteer Corps

A volunteer role unlike any other.

This is not a desk job. This is not a title for vanity. This is a foundational role — one that will shape the future of an emerging nation.

You will be the architect of our international volunteer programme, building pathways for citizens and supporters across the world to contribute:

• Remotely

• In hybrid roles

• In person on the ground in Europe

You will help design the systems, culture, and spirit that future generations of Lysians will inherit.

Why This Role Matters

Micronations come and go. But the ones that endure — the ones that become legends — are built by people who step forward when the world least expects it.

The Principality of Lys is entering a new era. We have the land. We have the vision. We have the cultural foundations.

Now we need you — someone who can rally others, inspire service, and help weave the first threads of a living, breathing community.

Your leadership will help us:

• Grow faster

• Grow stronger

• Grow with purpose

• Grow with honour

You will be the spark that ignites a movement.

What You Will Do

As Head of the Volunteer Corps, you will:

• Build and lead our volunteer programme from the ground up

• Recruit, train, and support volunteers across the world

• Shape the culture of service and civic duty within Lys

• Coordinate remote, hybrid and in‑person opportunities

• Help prepare for our 2027 public expansion

• Serve as a guardian of our values: honour, chivalry, creativity, and community

This is a role for someone who wants to leave a mark, not just fill a position.

Who You Are

You don’t need formal qualifications. You don’t need decades of experience.

You need:

• A sense of honour

• A desire to build something meaningful

• A creative mind

• A steady hand

• A belief in community

• And the courage to step into a role no one has ever held before

If you’ve ever wanted to help shape a nation — truly shape it — this is your moment.

This Is Your Invitation

• Stand with us.
• Grow with us.
• Help us build the Principality of Lys into a beacon of culture, creativity, and community.

History remembers the first. Will it remember you?

· Committee volunteers need to be aged 18+

Our fundraising team leaders usually spend three to four hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.

The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
