Who they are
Bookmark Reading Charity was established in 2018 with a clear and simple vision: that every child should be able to read. In England, one in four children leave primary school unable to read at the expected standard. Bookmark works to improve children’s literacy by fostering a culture of reading for pleasure in primary schools, with a particular focus on supporting children in the most disadvantaged communities.
The role
Bookmark Reading Charity exists to change children’s life stories through the joy of reading.
In a typical year, one in four children in an average class will leave primary school unable to read well. These children often struggle throughout their education and later in life and are at risk of becoming part of the seven million adults in the UK who face daily challenges with basic reading. Literacy extends far beyond books: it affects the ability to read road signs, safety instructions, job applications, medical prescriptions, and everyday communications. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are disproportionately affected; four in ten children eligible for free school meals are unable to read well by the age of 11. Poor literacy is closely linked to reduced employment opportunities, poorer health outcomes, low self-esteem, and even reduced life expectancy.
Bookmark’s ambition is for every child to read.
As a leading reading charity for primary school children, Bookmark partners with schools to develop whole-school reading cultures and deliver one-to-one reading support. Through a flexible, volunteer-led programme, children gain the reading skills and confidence they need to have a fair chance in life. Bookmark has delivered the first year of its three-year strategy and is working towards partnering with 1,000 primary schools, enabling 500,000 children to benefit from a Bookmark literacy programme. Through the support of its Trustees, the charity aims to change the stories of the children who need it most.

Bookmark Reading Charity is seeking three new Trustees to join its Board:

Trustees play a vital role in ensuring Glasgow South West Foodbank meets its core purpose by overseeing the management and administration of the charity and ensuring that the foodbank has a clear strategy in line with our vision and goals.
What will you be doing?
We are seeking new trustees to become members of our board. Trustees ensure that the food bank acts in conformity with its purpose and with charity legislation, and that good governance, best practice policies and rigorous financial supervision are in place. They will be required to work collaboratively, with other trustees and with the staff and volunteers of the foodbank, and other external agencies.
What are we looking for?
Our ideal candidates would demonstrate:
- Clear commitment to supporting the delivery of the best possible compassionate and non-judgmental service to some of the most disadvantaged people in Glasgow.
- Some understanding of issues around poverty, even if not in depth, and willingness to extend that.
- Experience at a management, senior or professional level within the third, public or private sectors.
-
(Ideally, but not essentially) experience of involvement in non-executive boards in the third, public or private sector.
By supporting the governance of the food bank, you are part of a team providing a vital holistic support function in your local community, ensuring a dignified experience to anyone visiting or anyone who comes into contact with Glasgow South West Foodbank.
Please apply through CharityJobs, providing a CV and cover letter detailing why you are interested in this role and your relevant experience. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an informal interview with members of the Board of Trustees at Glasgow SW Foodbank.
You must be 18 or over to apply for this role, and you must not be disqualified from acting as a trustee and declare any conflict of interest whilst carrying out the duties of a trustee.
Applicants must be primarily resident in the UK when applying for this post. This is to enable successful applicants to fulfil the duties of this post and have access to any systems or programs required for the role in line with the charity’s data protection policies.

We are looking for someone keen to move into the area of advising small charities on management and governance issues and working with them on other services we provide.
We are a very ambitious local grant-making charity that also offers various training, support and consultancy services to small charities and community groups in West London. Our broad-ranging plans are now beginning to bear fruit and so we need volunteers to help us in the following areas as demand for our services continues to grow:
· Supporting small groups and start-ups with basic governance and management issues
· Facilitating coordination between groups including organising events linking those with common interests
· Monitoring our grant holders and assessing the impact of our services on groups
· Outreach to new groups
· General admin support
· Possibly helping out with grant application assessments when needed
Our ideal candidates would have a good all-round management or professional background gained over a number of years, but they need not be experienced in the areas mentioned above. You'd be given full training, with the opportunity to shadow the people already working in these areas. Far more important is adaptability, initiative, an ability to get on well with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and good organisational and writing skills. Most crucially you would have a demonstrable commitment to our ideals of promoting a strong and influential civil society in West London. You will thrive on challenges and find rewards in seeing our objectives achieved.
You would ideally be able to commit an average of 1 day a week and the work would involve dealing with our clients during office hours, so you will probably be someone who is working part-time, or is perhaps retired or semi-retired, or is otherwise not in full-time employment. We would also be prepared to consider applicants only able to commit a few hours a week for some of the duties mentioned above.
Much of the work would be taking place from home, but it will also involve some face to face contact with clients, so living in or around the Ealing, Hounslow or Hillingdon boroughs would be a definite advantage.
All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed and refreshments provided where suitable.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

This Role Is the Backbone of the Content Ecosystem
Content creation without structure becomes chaos. Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is intentionally recruiting hundreds of content creators. That level of scale requires rigorous systems to ensure nothing is lost, duplicated, misused, or unsafe. The Content Librarian / Digital Asset Manager is the role that turns volume into value. This is not a passive admin role. This is infrastructure-building.
Purpose of the Role
The Content Librarian ensures that every piece of content created across the organisation is:
- Logged
- Tagged
- Categorised
- Approved
- Stored
- Accessible
- Reusable
This role protects:
Brand integrity
- Survivor dignity
- Safeguarding compliance
- Operational efficiency
Without this role, scale fails.
Experience Qualification and Requirements
Essential:
- Experience in digital asset management, content operations, knowledge management, archiving, or media library administration.
- Experience creating and maintaining structured systems (folders, naming rules, tags, metadata) at scale.
- Experience logging and tracking assets accurately, with strong attention to detail and consistency.
- Experience working across teams (creative, campaigns, operations, safeguarding) to coordinate content flow and accountability.
- Highly organised approach with strong file hygiene, documentation discipline, and ability to maintain standards consistently.
- Strong attention to detail, including version control, permissions, approval status tracking, and prevention of misuse.
- Ability to think in systems: designing processes that make content searchable, reusable, and scalable.
- Strong communication skills for clarifying requirements, flagging risks, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
- Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and maintain reliability in a high-volume environment.
Desirable experience
- Experience supporting creative teams with admin/ops or project coordination.
- Familiarity with content governance: approvals, safeguarding clearance markers, and usage rights tracking.
- Experience building content calendars or supporting distribution workflows.
Helpful tools (welcomed, not required)
- Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion, Airtable, or similar documentation / content systems.
- DAM platforms or structured media library tools.
- Familiarity with file naming conventions and metadata frameworks.
Training & qualifications
- Formal qualifications are not required.
- Qualifications in library studies, information management, or organisational management are desirable.
Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
- Build and maintain a central digital content library that supports scale, reuse, and consistent access across the CIC.
- Create and manage structured systems for content organisation, including naming conventions, folder structures, tagging rules, and metadata standards.
- Log and catalogue all incoming content from content creators, podcast teams, campaign teams, and ambassadors, ensuring every asset is captured and traceable.
- Track key content status fields, including approval status, usage rights/permissions, platform suitability, and safeguarding clearance.
- Ensure content is easy to find and easy to reuse by maintaining accurate tags, searchable metadata, clear versions, and consistent file hygiene.
- Manage version control and “single source of truth” practices, preventing confusion, loss of quality, duplicated assets, or incorrect public release.
- Coordinate with the Social Media Director, Safeguarding Officer, Campaign Managers, and Automation & Systems teams to align library structure with workflows and publishing needs.
- Flag risks, gaps, duplication, or misuse (e.g., missing consent, unclear rights, unapproved assets, outdated versions, incorrect tagging) and route issues to the right owners.
- Support content distribution readiness by ensuring assets are stored in the correct location, correctly named, correctly tagged, and marked for approved use.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by refining systems, templates, and guidance as volume increases and the C.I.C scales.
This role is not suitable if you:
- Dislike structure or admin
- Prefer fast-paced creative chaos
- Struggle with confidentiality
- Are uncomfortable working with sensitive content
- Need immediate paid work
Important to Be Clear
This is:
- A volunteer role within a Community Interest Company
- Unpaid during the build phase
- A critical infrastructure role
Paid opportunities will be introduced as the organisation becomes financially sustainable.
Next Steps
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:
- A systems-focused discussion
- A values and safeguarding conversation
If you are someone who understands that order creates safety, systems create scale, and structure creates longevity, this role is for you.
A Final Word
Content systems are about people, not files.
If you know that:
Order protects dignity and safety
Structure is a safeguarding issue
Consistency keeps systems trustworthy

Make a difference – become a school governor
You do not have to be a parent or member of staff to be a school governor – applications are appreciated from all with an interest in the local community. School governors come from all walks of life and specialist knowledge is not always needed. What IS essential is a desire to get involved in children’s education and make a difference to their lives.
We welcome applications from those with educational, health & safety and safeguarding experience but school governors are all volunteers and training and support is provided. The University of Chichester (Multi) Academy Trust partners new governors with a ‘buddy’ – a trusted and more experienced colleague on the governing body – who initially acts as their mentor.

Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
- Coordinate member travel logistics: Provide clear guidance on transport options, arrival and departure details, accommodation information, and local travel considerations. Support members to plan journeys confidently while balancing consistency, cost-awareness, and accessibility needs.
- Primary point of contact for members: Act as a calm, reliable, and approachable contact for participants attending retreats or in-person programmes. Respond to queries promptly, clearly, and sensitively, recognising that travel and participation can be stressful or unfamiliar for some members.
- Support retreat and programme planning: Work alongside programme leads to support retreat schedules, attendance tracking, check-in processes, and on-the-day coordination. Assist with practical arrangements that enable facilitators to focus on delivery and participant care.
- Liaison with venues and teams: Coordinate with venues, facilitators, and internal teams to ensure accommodation, access, catering, room set-up, and transport arrangements meet programme needs, safeguarding standards, and agreed expectations.
- Accessibility, wellbeing, and safeguarding: Proactively identify potential accessibility barriers, wellbeing needs, or safeguarding concerns shared by participants. Escalate issues promptly and appropriately to designated leads, following organisational safeguarding procedures.
- Data management and compliance: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of participant details, travel arrangements, access requirements, and communications. Ensure all information is handled confidentially and in full compliance with GDPR and data protection policies.
- Post-retreat follow-up and evaluation: Support post-programme processes, including follow-up communications, feedback collection, and contribution to evaluation activities. Help ensure participant experiences inform learning and continuous improvement.
- Systems and process development: Contribute to the creation and refinement of checklists, guides, templates, and systems that improve the consistency, care, and efficiency of future retreats and in-person programmes. Share learning and practical insights with the wider team.
What This Role Offers You:
- Practical leadership experience supporting impactful retreats and in-person programmes.
- Opportunity to contribute directly to transformative experiences for survivors and marginalised communities.
- Personal growth through service-led, community-centred work in a values-driven organisation.
- The satisfaction of helping members feel supported, informed, and safe as they engage in deep personal and collective development.
What This Role Is Not For:
- Individuals seeking hands-off or purely behind-the-scenes work with no member interaction.
- Those unwilling to work flexibly around programme timelines or respond to live operational needs.
- People expecting rigid structures or corporate event management environments—this role requires adaptability, care, and collaboration.
If you are ready to support powerful in-person experiences and ensure members can engage fully, safely, and confidently, we want to hear from you. Apply now and help us deliver retreats that foster healing, connection, and transformation.
