MANAGING DIRECTOR WANTED

BUILD THE MOVEMENT. LEAD THE SQUAD. CHANGE THE GAME.

URBAN YOUTH isn’t just a charity — it’s a startup youth movement built from raw energy, street culture, and the belief that young people deserve experiences that hit different. We’re small, scrappy, and unapologetically ambitious.

And now we’re searching for a Managing Director who’s ready to help us turn this spark into a wildfire.

This Is Not Your Typical MD Role

• No big budgets.
• No endless staff teams.
• No corporate safety nets.

Just vision, hustle, and the drive to build something powerful from almost nothing.

Urban Youth is a pop‑up youth work charity (like a streetwear drop), creative jams, community takeovers, and high‑impact experiences that feel more like culture than “services.” We’re building a youth movement that’s loud, urban, and real.

We need someone who can help us take this raw potential and scale it into something unforgettable.

What You’ll Lead

You’ll be the strategic force behind Urban Youth — shaping our direction, building our foundations, and helping us grow from a startup idea into a city‑wide movement.

You’ll help us:

• Build partnerships from scratch

• Create opportunities with minimal resources

• Turn creative chaos into sustainable impact

• Grow our squad, our reach, and our influence

• Make sure our pop‑ups hit hard and keep evolving

This is leadership in its purest form — no red tape, no grey areas, just vision, grit, and action.

Who You Are

1. You’re entrepreneurial.
2. You’re resourceful.
3. You’re the kind of person who sees a blank space and imagines a whole community event happening there.
4. You thrive in startup energy — fast decisions, big ideas, and making things happen with whatever you’ve got.
5. You don’t wait for permission.
6. You don’t need perfect conditions.
7. You build anyway.

If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll make it real,” you’re exactly who we want.

Why Urban Youth?

• Because we’re creating something new. Something bold. Something that doesn’t look like traditional youth work.
• We’re building a movement that feels like culture — not charity. A squad. A vibe. A community.

As Managing Director, you won’t just run an organisation. You’ll help create one.

You’ll shape the identity, the energy, and the future of Urban Youth from the ground up.

Ready to build something huge?

1. If you want to lead with purpose…
2. If you want to create impact without waiting for permission…
3. If you want to help build a youth movement that’s raw, urban, and unforgettable…

Urban Youth needs you.

Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build something massive.

Help the society make sure no one faces loneliness alone.

At Open Ear Foundation, we provide free, confidential companionship to anyone experiencing loneliness or isolation. Our service is powered entirely by warm, well-trained volunteers and we’d love you to become one of them.

• Make regular companionship remote calls to people facing loneliness
• Listen with warmth, patience, and without judgement
• Build genuine, trusted connections through ongoing conversations
• Help people feel heard, valued, and less alone
• Share simple feedback with our team so we can keep improving our support

Your time, your way, total flexibility:

• Work entirely from home: all you need is a laptop and a quiet space
• Very flexible commitment: even one hour a week makes a real difference
• Pause or adjust your hours whenever life gets busy, no pressure, ever

What you’ll gain:

• Full training provided: no prior experience needed; we’ll equip you with active listening and safeguarding skills
• Valuable experience for careers in counselling, social work, healthcare, psychology, HR, or the charity sector
• A reference for future employment or studies after your time with us
• New skills in communication, empathy, and emotional support
• The deep satisfaction of knowing your voice genuinely changed someone’s week
• Becoming part of a supportive, friendly volunteer community

About Us

St Basils works with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to enable them to find and keep a home, grow their confidence, develop their skills, increase opportunities and ultimately prevent homelessness.

We help just over 4,000 young people each year across the West Midlands, with services in Birmingham, Coventry, Sandwell, Solihull, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Our services range from providing supported accommodation to outreach, advice, support, employability and engagement services to help young people regain the stability they need to rebuild their lives, gain skills, confidence and employment and move on. The aim is to help them successfully break the ‘cycle of homelessness’ so that they can go on to experience a bright, fulfilling future and never return to a state where they are at risk of homelessness again.

About our Board

We are a registered provider of social housing, a charity and a company limited by guarantee, meaning our Board members are both Directors and Trustees.

To navigate our challenging regulatory landscape, we need to be tightly governed. At the heart of this is a Board with the right knowledge, values, skills and diversity, all whilst working towards our vision that homelessness should not be part of growing up.

As a member of St Basils’ Board, you will be a guardian of St Basils’ charitable purpose. You will be responsible for holding the Senior Leadership Team to account through constructive challenge and support, and for ensuring St Basils’ strategic priorities are met.

You will form part of St Basils’ governance framework, providing oversight of key business areas, such as business planning, safeguarding, risk, finance, health and safety, EDI and business development. 

Our Board is made up of 14 members, 2 of which are designated for young people who have lived experience of homelessness and / or St Basils’ services.

St Basils has adopted the RACE Equality Code and is actively seeking applications from those from Black communities to ensure our Board is reflective of both the young people that we serve and our dedicated workforce.

· Work closely with the Director of Income Generation & Value Capture to ensure St Basils’ marketing and communications strategies are being implemented effectively.

• Contribute to trustee discussions and decisions on broader charity strategy, risk management and financial oversight.

Our new Director / Trustee will sit on our Business Support & Audit Committee which oversees central functions, including Finance, HR, Fundraising and Marketing. This committee meets virtually, one a quarter.

Although the role is voluntary, reasonable expenses will be paid for costs incurred in undertaking the role.

About You

You will be an experienced professional in marketing, communications, PR or brand strategy, ideally with experience in the youth or homelessness sectors.

You will demonstrate sound judgement and be able to challenge confidently and constructively, although you do not need to have Board experience.

Understanding of governance and the responsibilities of a charity trustee is desirable, but training will be provided.

You will work within the principles of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion and understand the needs of the diverse young people we serve.

You will put the needs of young people first, be passionate about ending youth homelessness and share our mission, vision and principles.

Time Commitment

You will need to be able to attend the majority of Board and Committee meetings, one of each is held each quarter (8 meetings total per year). Each meeting will last around 2 hours and will normally be held late afternoon/early evening (usually 4pm – 6pm). Board meetings are held in person at St Basils’ Head Office in Birmingham, and Committee meetings are held virtually via Microsoft Teams. The dates for meetings are set by calendar year, towards the end of the previous year.

Meeting papers will be shared via an online portal one week in advance of the meeting to allow for sufficient preparation time.

A Board away day is held each year, usually October, and every other year this includes an overnight stay. This will be fully paid for by St Basils.

We encourage Board members to visit our accommodation services to deepen understanding of our work and support effective governance and decision-making. We would like all Board members to make 2 visits a year if possible.

What’s in it for you?

We offer a series of essential online training courses (for example GDPR, Cyber Security, EDI, Safeguarding, Risk Management) and the opportunity to do additional online or in-person training, such as Psychologically Informed Environment training. As part of our commitment to race equality, we provide mandatory Anti-Racism training for all staff and Board members.

You will be part of a knowledgeable and supportive Board and have the opportunity to work alongside young people with lived experience.

You will have the guidance of a knowledgeable Chair to support your development as a Director / Trustee, and you will have access to St Basils’ Senior Leadership Team to help you fulfil your role.

St Basils is a learning organisation and therefore we are able to support and develop Board members who are new to the role. In addition, St Basils has membership with the Board Development Agency, which provides our Board Members with access to webinars and development tools specific to housing sector Boards.

Volunteer Role: MINDSET Charity Steering Group Committee

Location: Remote (London connections highly beneficial)

Commitment: Minimum 4 hours per month

Help Us Build MINDSET Charity From the Ground Up

Poor mental health can affect anyone — but men and boys are often less likely to talk about how they feel. Many struggle alone, not because they want to, but because they’ve never had a space where opening up feels safe, comfortable or understood.

MINDSET Charity is here to change that.

We’re a London‑based start‑up charity in our concept and set‑up stage, building a movement that empowers men and boys to develop stronger mindsets, healthier habits and positive futures through action‑based wellbeing. No therapy. Just growth, reflection and real‑world tools that help men become the best version of themselves.

To get MINDSET ready for launch — and prepare for our first Trustee recruitment — we’re building a Steering Group Committee of passionate volunteers who want to help shape something meaningful from day one.

What You’ll Be Part Of

This is not a typical volunteer role. This is building a charity from scratch — its foundations, its programmes, its identity, its future.

You’ll help us:

• Shape our mission, values and early strategy

• Develop the core structure needed for charity registration

• Prepare for Trustee recruitment and governance setup

• Build partnerships, networks and community connections

• Contribute ideas, insight and lived experience to strengthen our work

• Support the creation of early programmes and wellbeing activities

If you have connections in London, that’s a huge bonus — but passion, commitment and belief in our mission matter most.

Who We’re Looking For

People who:

• Believe men’s mental health deserves real attention

• Want to help create safe, empowering spaces for men and boys

• Are excited by start‑up energy, creativity and building from the ground up

• Can give at least 4 hours per month (more if you can)

• Bring ideas, initiative and a willingness to get stuck in

• Value growth, resilience and positive male role models

You don’t need formal experience — just heart, drive and a desire to make a difference.

Why Join Us?

1. Because this is your chance to help build a charity that will change lives.
2. Because men and boys need spaces where they can grow, reflect and feel supported.
3. Because your voice, your skills and your passion will shape the future of MINDSET Charity.

• This is purpose.
• This is impact.
• This is the beginning of something powerful.

Apply now and help us build MINDSET Charity — one mindset, one action, one future at a time.

MINDSET Charity

Men and Boys Mental Health and Wellbeing Charity

Would you like to support people who have served in the Armed Forces? You just need the ability to listen, strong IT skills and good written and spoken English. If you think this could be the role for you, we’d love to hear from you.

What is a Caseworker?

Caseworkers visit clients to work out what type of support they need. You will listen without judgement to assess and provide tailored support to help those serving, who have served and their families to navigate life in and beyond military service. Some examples of support are securing funding for special equipment for someone with a disability, adaptions to a property so an older client can remain at home or funds for a rental deposit. Caseworkers also sign-post clients onto specialist local services for advice on benefits, housing, mental health, debt, finding work etc.

Why do we need you?

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan. We’d love the general public to understand what we do and how they can help us.

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

Volunteer Caseworkers are the lifeblood of SSAFA, supporting a growing number of people in need of financial, practical, and emotional support. Clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like Iraq or Afghanistan.

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

The essential part of the role is visiting clients, so you will need access to a vehicle or another way to travel to meet clients at home or in a care home setting. As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but you can complete the administration part of the role from home as long as you have access to IT equipment and the internet.

What would you be doing?

• Contacting beneficiaries and arranging to meet them at a mutually convenient time.
• Meeting beneficiaries and completing a form to assess their circumstances, using good communication skills, empathy and understanding.
• Sign-posting clients onto local services providing specialist advice.
• Applying for funding on the behalf of the beneficiary through a specific process and system  
• Arranging for the purchase of goods and services
• Keeping the beneficiary informed of their case progress.
• Liaise with the branch and regional office, regarding your availability.
• Keeping up to date with training and SSAFA news so that you are best able to support clients.
• Being a positive ambassador for SSAFA remembering that anyone you meet could be a potential client, volunteer, or fundraiser.
• Volunteering within the standards and values of SSAFA
• Adhering to SSAFAs policies and procedures at all times, including safeguarding, volunteering policy, equality, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, data protection and confidentiality.  

What can you gain from this volunteering role?

• Use your skills, knowledge, and life experience to benefit others.

Would you like to support people who have served in the Armed Forces? You just need the ability to listen, strong IT skills and good written and spoken English. If you think this could be the role for you, we’d love to hear from you.

What is a Caseworker?

Caseworkers visit clients to work out what type of support they need. You will listen without judgement to assess and provide tailored support to help those serving, who have served and their families to navigate life in and beyond military service. Some examples of support are securing funding for special equipment for someone with a disability, adaptions to a property so an older client can remain at home or funds for a rental deposit. Caseworkers also sign-post clients onto specialist local services for advice on benefits, housing, mental health, debt, finding work etc.

Why do we need you?

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan. We’d love the general public to understand what we do and how they can help us.

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

Volunteer Caseworkers are the lifeblood of SSAFA, supporting a growing number of people in need of financial, practical, and emotional support. Clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like Iraq or Afghanistan.

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

The essential part of the role is visiting clients, so you will need access to a vehicle or another way to travel to meet clients at home or in a care home setting. As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but you can complete the administration part of the role from home as long as you have access to IT equipment and the internet.

What would you be doing?

• Contacting beneficiaries and arranging to meet them at a mutually convenient time.
• Meeting beneficiaries and completing a form to assess their circumstances, using good communication skills, empathy and understanding.
• Sign-posting clients onto local services providing specialist advice.
• Applying for funding on the behalf of the beneficiary through a specific process and system  
• Arranging for the purchase of goods and services
• Keeping the beneficiary informed of their case progress.
• Liaise with the branch and regional office, regarding your availability.
• Keeping up to date with training and SSAFA news so that you are best able to support clients.
• Being a positive ambassador for SSAFA remembering that anyone you meet could be a potential client, volunteer, or fundraiser.
• Volunteering within the standards and values of SSAFA
• Adhering to SSAFAs policies and procedures at all times, including safeguarding, volunteering policy, equality, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, data protection and confidentiality.  

What can you gain from this volunteering role?
