Role: Volunteer Project Manager
Commitment: ~8–12 hours per month (Flexible / Remote with local Ealing presence)
Status: Startup Phase (Pre-Launch)
The Mission
We have the vision. We have the Founding Board. Now, we need the Architect.
YCAS (Youth Counselling and Advice Service) is currently a concept in development. We are looking for a volunteer Project Manager to lead the charge in taking us from "big idea" to a "live service" that supports young people aged 11–25 in Ealing.
Your Startup Mandate
In this "Day Zero" role, you won't just be managing a project; you’ll be building the project’s engine. You will work directly with our Founder and Founding Trustees to:
- Design the Launch Roadmap: Create and lead the master project plan, including timelines, milestones, and resource needs for a successful launch.
- Coordinate the Founding Team: Act as the "central hub," keeping our Founder, Trustees, and early volunteers aligned and motivated.
- Drive Tactical Execution: Bridge the gap between the Board’s high-level strategy and the day-to-day tasks needed to open our doors.
- Manage Risks: Identify potential "startup bumps" early—like funding gaps or legal hurdles—and develop creative solutions.
- Streamline Systems: Introduce simple, effective tools (like Trello or Slack) to keep our communication lean and efficient.
Who We’re Looking For
- The "Startup Mindset": You thrive in the "blank page" stage and enjoy creating order out of chaos.
- The Organiser: You have professional or volunteer experience in project management (Prince2, Agile, or Lean experience is a bonus but not essential).
- The Communicator: You can translate a founder’s dream into a checklist that volunteers can actually follow.
- Local Passion: You care about Ealing and want to be a part of its youth-support legacy.
Volunteer-Proofing: Our Commitment to You
- Scope Clarity: We won't expect 40 hours of work. We need focused leadership, not "busywork".
- Empowerment: You will have the authority to run the project on a day-to-day basis within agreed board tolerances.
- Support: You’ll have direct access to the Founder and a Board of Trustees ready to back your decisions.
- Flexibility: We work around your professional and personal life.
What’s In It For You?
- Founding Credit: You will be the person who "launched" YCAS—a powerful addition to any professional portfolio.
- Leadership Growth: Rare experience managing a charity from its literal inception.
- Impact: Seeing a service open its doors because of the roadmap you built.
How to Apply
Please send your CV and a Covering Letter (max 1 page) explaining why you are the right "Architect" to help YCAS take flight in Ealing.

This is an exciting time for Working Chance as we start developing our new three-year strategy which will come into effect from 1 September.
