Help Build the Foundations of a New Charity Tackling Loneliness Across London

Location: Hybrid (London focus)

Time Commitment: Flexible, approx. 4–6 hours per week

Salary: Voluntary

Reports To: Founder & CEO

About SUNSHINE Charity

Loneliness is one of the most profound challenges facing our communities — but together, we can change that.

SUNSHINE Charity is a new, volunteer‑powered organisation dedicated to reducing loneliness and social isolation by creating warm, joyful, inclusive spaces where people can meet, connect, and feel part of something bigger.

• We believe that connection is a human need.
• We believe that joy is a form of care.
• We believe that community can change lives.

As we prepare to launch our first programmes across London, we are looking for a committed and capable Operations Director to help build the systems, processes, and structures that will allow SUNSHINE to grow — sustainably, safely, and with heart.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape the operational backbone of a brand‑new charity.

The VOLUNTEER Opportunity

As Operations Director, you will work closely with our Founder & CEO to ensure SUNSHINE runs smoothly, efficiently, and with care at every level.

1. You’ll help turn vision into reality.

Your leadership will help ensure that SUNSHINE can grow from a local initiative into a movement that reaches people across London — and eventually beyond.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is organised, proactive, and excited by the challenge of helping build a charity from the ground up.

You might have experience in operations, project management, HR, governance, charity management, or organisational leadership — but passion, reliability, and initiative matter just as much.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is passionate about community, connection, and reducing loneliness

• Is organised, structured, and able to bring clarity to complex tasks

• Enjoys building systems, processes, and ways of working

• Is comfortable supporting leadership and taking responsibility

• Communicates clearly, calmly, and with warmth

• Can work collaboratively with volunteers and trustees

• Is reliable, proactive, and able to take initiative

• Is comfortable using digital tools and managing information

• Shares SUNSHINE’s values of kindness, inclusion, and joy

Experience in charity operations, governance, HR, project management, or organisational leadership is helpful — but not essential if you bring strong transferable skills and a willingness to learn.

Why Volunteer With SUNSHINE?

This role offers the chance to:

• Help build a brand‑new charity from the ground up

• Shape the operational foundations that will define SUNSHINE’s future

• Gain experience in charity leadership, governance, and organisational development

As Operations Director, you will help build that organisation.

Your leadership will help ensure that SUNSHINE is safe, sustainable, and ready to grow — so that thousands of people can find warmth, belonging, and community.

Join Us

If you believe in the power of connection, kindness, and community — and you want to help build a charity that brings people together — we would love to hear from you.

Help us create the foundations of a movement that will change lives. Become SUNSHINE’s Operations Director and help build a future where no one feels alone.

Second Life

We partner with communities to collect, trace, and recycle plastic, creating jobs and preventing pollution.​

We're looking for a Business Development Associate to drive the next chapter of Second Life's growth.

As demand for credible, traceable plastic action accelerates, driven by Extended Producer Responsibility regulation, voluntary ESG commitments, and consumer expectations, companies are actively seeking partners like us. Your job is to find them, qualify them, and walk them through to signed partnerships.

You'll own the full commercial cycle: identifying corporate prospects (cosmetics, FMCG, food & beverage, retail, travel), running outreach and discovery, designing the right project proposal with the help of our CEO, negotiating commercial terms, and closing.

This is a high-autonomy role for someone who genuinely cares about environmental impact and knows how to translate that into a commercial conversation.

What you'll do:
- Build and manage a qualified pipeline of corporate partners across target sectors and geographies (Europe, North America, APAC)
- Run outbound outreach via LinkedIn, email, warm introductions, and partner referrals to sustainability, procurement, packaging, and CSR leaders.
- Lead discovery calls and partner workshops; understand each company's plastic footprint, regulatory exposure, and sustainability strategy.
- Work with our operations and technical team to scope tailored projects: collection volumes, geographies, traceability requirements, co-branding opportunities.
- Build commercial proposals, and contracts
- Stay sharp on the competitive landscape: plastic credits standards (Verra, others), EPR regulation in key markets, and emerging buyer expectations.

Why join us
- Sell something with real, verifiable impact: every contract translates directly into plastic removed and livelihoods supported
- Work with global brands and meet the sustainability decision-makers shaping the next decade of corporate climate action.
