Charity operations manager volunteer roles

Join Our Board - Help shape the future of Merton’s vibrant voluntary, community and social enterprise sector.

Merton Connected is seeking two to three new trustees to join us at an exciting time of growth.

Merton's voluntary, community, social enterprise and faith sector is full of energy, ideas and people determined to make a difference. As the borough's infrastructure charity, Merton Connected sits right at the heart of it: connecting, supporting and championing the organisations that support local people every day.

Now we want you to help shape what comes next.

Who we're looking for

We're seeking people who bring curiosity, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to inclusive community development. Whether this would be your first governance role or you've supported other boards before, what matters most is your perspective and your willingness to engage.

We're particularly keen to hear from people with insight or experience in:

• Charity management
• Public health, health and social care integration, or partnership working between statutory and VCS organisations
• Marketing and communications
• Digital and AI operations
• Income generation and fundraising
• Impact and performance measurement

We also warmly welcome applicants with diverse lived experience, fresh perspectives, and a strong connection to Merton. There's no single profile we're looking for, and different viewpoints make us stronger.

What you'll be doing

As a trustee, you'll help shape our strategy, strengthen good governance, and champion the voices of local organisations and residents. You'll join a collaborative, supportive board that works closely with our leadership team to ensure Merton's voluntary, community and faith sector continues to thrive.

What you'll gain

• The chance to influence local priorities and make a meaningful difference to people's lives
• Insight into how a well-connected, values-driven infrastructure charity works from the inside
• Opportunities to share your knowledge and develop your own strategic and leadership skills
• A place on a welcoming, inclusive board committed to learning and collective impact

The practical bit

Time commitment: 4–6 meetings per year (including strategy days), with occasional subgroups or events
Support offered: A full induction is provided, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed.

We are actively seeking to expand our board and hope to make at least two trustee appointments over the next two months.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we may appoint additional trustees where their skills and experience complement the board.

• 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.

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.

VOLUNTEER OPERATIONS DIRECTOR WANTED — Help Us Build, Launch & Run SUNSHINE Charity!

Start‑up Charity  •  Fighting Loneliness  •  Launching 2026  •  Shape Our Systems, Structure & Day‑to‑Day Operations

Lockdown reminded us how deeply people need connection, joy and community.

SUNSHINE Charity was created to bring that feeling back — to reduce loneliness, spark joy and help people feel part of something again.

We’re preparing to launch in 2026, and we’re building a small but mighty leadership team to guide us through our start‑up phase. Now we’re looking for a brilliant, organised, people‑focused Operations Director to help us turn our mission into a smooth, well‑run reality.

If you love making things work, keeping things moving and building strong foundations, this role has your name on it.

Volunteer Operations Director

As our Operations Director, you’ll work closely with our CEO/Executive Director to support the day‑to‑day running of SUNSHINE Charity. You’ll help us set up the systems, processes and structures we need to launch confidently — and then help us grow.

This is a rare chance to shape the operational heartbeat of a brand‑new charity.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the CEO/Executive Director with day‑to‑day management

• Helping set up the operational systems and processes needed for launch

• Coordinating across our Working Groups to keep everything running smoothly

• Supporting governance, planning and organisational development

• Helping us build a charity that feels warm, organised and people‑centred

• Playing a key role in our launch phase and early growth

You don’t need to have been an Operations Director before — just someone who’s organised, proactive and excited to help build something meaningful from scratch.

Who You Are

Someone who:

• Loves organising, planning and making things run smoothly

• Enjoys supporting others and keeping projects on track

• Is excited by the idea of helping a start‑up charity grow

• Can think practically, strategically and with heart

• Believes in reducing loneliness and building community

• Can give time each month to help us get launch‑ready

What You’ll Get Out of It

• The chance to shape the operational foundations of a brand‑new charity

• Experience in charity operations, leadership and organisational development

• A close working relationship with our CEO/Executive Director

• A friendly, positive team who care deeply about connection and joy

• The satisfaction of knowing your work helps bring sunshine into people’s lives

If you’re ready to help us build a strong, joyful and well‑run charity from the ground up, we’d love to welcome you into the team.

Apply today and help us bring sunshine back into people’s lives.
