About the role
As our monday.com Training & Systems Volunteer, you'll help our Marketing, Communications and Fundraising team get the most from the project management platform at the heart of how we work. You'll assess current knowledge and confidence levels, then design and deliver practical, engaging training that builds real capability — from first-time users to those ready to go deeper. You'll also create simple, clear reference materials that people can return to independently, respond to ad hoc queries, and keep everything up to date as monday.com is implemented. By making technology feel approachable, you'll free up our team to focus on what matters most: helping millions of separated children get Back to Family.
 
About you
We're looking for a volunteer with confident, hands-on knowledge of monday.com (day-to-day use and administration experience are both welcome), alongside experience delivering training or coaching in a workplace setting, whether formal or informal. You'll be able to explain technical concepts clearly and patiently to people with varying levels of confidence, and you'll bring a warm, encouraging style to every interaction. You'll be self-motivated and comfortable working independently with light-touch coordination from the team. Familiarity with monday.com automations and integrations, or experience with charity or NGO operations, would be a bonus, but neither is essential. Most importantly, you'll share our belief that every child belongs in a family, and you'll be excited to play your part in making that happen.
 
About Hope and Homes for Children
Orphanages don't protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them. Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of abuse and extreme neglect. Today, over 5.4 million children are confined to orphanages worldwide, and more than 80% of them are not orphans at all. Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.
 
Time commitment: Flexible: estimated 3–4 days per month initially, reducing to ad hoc as staff become more confident. Minimum commitment of 6 months.
 
Location: Remote/hybrid - training delivered online via video call, with optional in-person sessions. Access to a PC/laptop and internet connection is required.
 
Expenses: Reasonable expenses reimbursed.
 
Closing Date: The final date for applications is 5pm on Wednesday 22nd July 2026.
 
Provisional date for interviews: Thursday 30th July 2026.

Please contact us directly if you have any questions.
 
Written references will be required as part of the selection process.
 
Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages diversity, equity and inclusion, and we look to recruit a diverse range of people to reflect the communities in which we live, as we believe this will strengthen our ability to deliver our mission of eliminating orphanages.

Could you help shape the future of our Charity?

We are recruiting new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the strategic direction, governance, and long-term success of ECI.

• Child safeguarding and/or adult safeguarding
• Human resources (especially employee relations or employment law)
• Legal services or law

We also welcome anyone with different lived experience, professional skills, or perspectives that could help us improve and develop our services.

• Help shape ECI’s strategic direction and priorities
• Contribute to the governance and long-term development of the charity
• Ensure ECI meets legal, regulatory and financial responsibilities
• Champion ECI’s work and its impact in the community
• Use your experience, skills or networks to support and strengthen the organisation

The Board meets every two months, in person and online (usually weekday evenings). Between meetings, you may be asked to support areas linked to your skills or interests.
