For many years, WOFM has built trusted relationships within local communities across East London, working alongside churches, frontline organisations and partner agencies to provide compassionate, non-judgemental support to women facing complex challenges.
We are now seeking a values-driven and collaborative Volunteer Charity Manager to help lead the organisation into its next season of growth, sustainability and impact.
About the Role
The Volunteer Charity Manager will provide overall leadership, coordination and operational oversight for the charity, working closely with the Board of Trustees, staff team and volunteers to strengthen the delivery of WOFM’s mission and future development.
This is a varied leadership role combining strategic coordination, relationship management, community engagement and operational oversight within a grassroots charity environment.
The successful candidate will not be working alone. The organisation currently includes:
• a part-time Women’s Support Worker
• a part-time Social Media Lead
• a dedicated team of volunteer Outreach Assistants
• an active and supportive Board of Trustees committed to working closely alongside the Manager
The Board is seeking a self-starting individual who works well independently and is committed to supporting the successful candidate with a sustainable organisational structure as the charity continues to grow and develop.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Operational Coordination
• Provide overall coordination and day-to-day leadership across the charity’s outreach programmes and activities
• Oversee the effective delivery of operational priorities, outreach services and community engagement initiatives
• Maintain and strengthen effective systems, administration and organisational processes
• Work collaboratively with staff, volunteers and trustees to ensure services are delivered safely, compassionately and effectively

• Build strong working relationships with local organisations, churches and support agencies
• Contribute to advocacy, signposting and practical support activities where appropriate
Partnerships & Representation
• Build and maintain positive relationships with community partners, churches, local organisations and stakeholders
• Represent WOFM at meetings, networking opportunities and community events
• Champion awareness of the charity’s mission, impact and future vision
Governance, Sustainability & Development
• Work closely with the Chair and Board of Trustees to support the strategic direction of the organisation
• Prepare updates and reports for trustee meetings where required
• Contribute to fundraising activities, funding applications and sustainability planning
• Help strengthen the long-term development and operational capacity of the charity
About You
We are looking for someone who is compassionate, organised and able to lead with empathy, wisdom and good judgement.
You may have experience within:
• charity leadership or voluntary sector management
• community outreach or social impact work
• ministry or faith-based leadership
• safeguarding or support services
• operations, programme or project coordination
• volunteer management or partnership working
We also welcome applications from individuals with transferable leadership experience and a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable women and strengthening communities.
Note: This role is open to female applicants only, as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010. The successful candidate is required to complete an enhanced DBS check.
Skills & Qualities
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to lead, coordinate and motivate others
• Organised with strong administrative and leadership abilities
• Emotionally resilient with sound judgement and professional boundaries
• Collaborative and able to work independently when required
• Comfortable using email, spreadsheets and online communication platforms
• Understanding of confidentiality and safeguarding principles
• Alignment with the values and compassionate ethos of the organisation
Time Commitment & Availability
This is a flexible volunteer leadership role of approximately 20 hours per week, which we are happy to shape around the right person’s other commitments. We would suggest thinking of it as roughly 4 hours a day across a typical working week but how those hours are arranged is genuinely negotiable, and we are open to discussing an arrangement that works for you.
The role is hybrid, combining:
• remote and flexible working from home
• attendance at outreach activities, particularly on Wednesday afternoons for daytime drop-in sessions and Friday evenings for evening outreach
• meetings and occasional events in East London (typically evenings and occasional weekends)
• trustee and board meetings on a regular scheduled cycle
Reasonable, pre-agreed out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in carrying out the role (for example, travel) will be reimbursed. Ideally, we are seeking someone able to commit to the role for a minimum of 6 months to support continuity and sustainable growth.
Support & Future Development
The successful candidate will work alongside a committed Board of Trustees, staff team and volunteers who are passionate about the mission of the charity.
While this is currently a voluntary role, the Board is actively working to secure funding with the aim of creating paid leadership and operational roles in the future. We cannot guarantee if or when such funding will be confirmed, and any future paid appointment would be made through a fair and open recruitment process. That said, someone who grows with WOFM and comes to know the organisation well would be well placed to be considered as those opportunities arise.
The organisation is continuing to strengthen its operational foundations and develop sustainable structures to support long-term impact within the community.
Why Join WOFM?
This is an opportunity to:
• make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable women
• help shape the future direction of a growing grassroots charity
• work alongside a passionate and committed team
• contribute to a mission rooted in compassion, dignity, faith and hope
• build sustainable impact within local communities
• grow with an organisation that is actively working towards funded leadership roles

Heartwood House is a unique organisation, working to support and empower young people to engage with education and achieve their potential, free from mainstream system constraints. We are a small, values-driven community, and our trustees play a vital role in guiding our mission and ensuring the long-term sustainability of what we do.
At Heartwood House, we deliver full-time education for students experiencing emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA). Our, methodology places wellbeing at the core of students' education, focusing on mental health, personal growth, and positive social interactions alongside academic instruction.
Students have an inherent right to respectful and caring treatment, independent of behaviour or academic performance. As a trustee, you will help uphold and champion our policy of unconditional positive regard, the principle that everyone (staff or student) should always be treated with respect and dignity, no matter the situation.
Education takes place in small groups, with lessons tailored to each student's individual needs and interests. As a trustee, you will gain insight into a genuinely distinctive educational model, and your governance will directly support the staff who build meaningful relationships with every young person in our care.
All staff are invested in and actively participate in student wellbeing, integrating mental health support and personal growth throughout the day, not just in designated sessions. Trustees share responsibility for ensuring this holistic approach is protected and resourced appropriately.
We offer academic instruction from Entry Level to GCSE in subjects aligned with students' interests and future plans. Almost all students study English, Maths, Science, and Art at a minimum, with most pursuing additional subjects at the centre or online. As a trustee, you will help ensure the organisation remains financially and strategically positioned to continue delivering this flexible, student-centred curriculum.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

We are committed to building a Board that reflects the communities we serve and particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of financial insecurity and those from communities currently underrepresented at Board level.
This is an opportunity to contribute to an ambitious organisation tackling one of society’s most pressing challenges, working alongside an engaged Board and executive team to help ensure everyone has enough to live on.

About Kith & Kids
We provide activities, opportunities, information, and support for people with a learning disability or autism, their parents, and siblings.
For all our projects and activities we are dependent on volunteers.
Our Employability Project
10am to 3pm, Monday and/or Friday during term-time
Our Employment & Life Skills Project (ELSP) helps adults with learning disabilities or autism to access further education, work experience and visits to mainstream community opportunities.
What you’ll do
You’ll act as a mentor to the members of the group. You’ll be helping the group(s) develop a range of life skills, things that many of us take for granted. These include Maths and English skills, independent living, the use of public transport, social skills and even the sourcing of employment.
For the people in these groups, these things can be very difficult to develop and achieve without regular support. Through regular support and meetings, members and volunteers develop greater trust, skills, and confidence together.
Come along and get involved!
Requirements
What you need
You do not need experience. Full disability awareness training will be provided before you begin volunteering with us.
The only requirements we ask of you are enthusiasm, energy and to be open-minded.
Minimum age for volunteers is 20.
How much time?
The project runs from 10am to 3pm, Mondays and/or Fridays during term-time.
Everyone gets the most out of the project if you come every week for at least a term as you'll build a close relationship with the members you'll have been supporting and will create the most impact.
What we can offer you
ELSP represents a fantastic opportunity for you to share your knowledge and experience built up through a lifetime to a group that is continuing to develop and achieve their targets.
We’ll reimburse your travel expenses and will provide excellent training and lots of helpful support.
By volunteering on our project you'll also:
- Use and develop your skills: time-management, working within a team, problem-solving and adaptability.
- Learn something new, get involved in fun activities with others.
- Increase your confidence.
- Meet like-minded people and make friends.
- Gain experience for (other) work
- Give something back to the community.
- Do something fun and satisfying in your spare time
- Challenge yourself.
What about training?
Volunteers must attend training and complete a free DBS check before you begin volunteering.
This is a great opportunity to get to know everyone at Kith & Kids: your fellow volunteers, some of our members you will be working with, and also gives the opportunity to develop some new skills and expand your knowledge in our workshops.
Topics we cover include:
- Autism
- Safeguarding
- Creativity & Participation
- Negotiation & Boundaries
When do I need to come?
Volunteers must attend training and complete a DBS check before taking part.
We'll be running face-to-face training in north London starting on the 15th February with lots of other dates to choose from.
In the meantime, we'll be meeting volunteers online from mid-January.
Training will take place in North London – once we have met you online for a chat, we will send you confirmation of our training venue details.
Just sign up and you'll receive details of what to do next.
