Most importantly, you’re someone who wants to help people feel confident, capable, and connected.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

Because this is your chance to:

• Shape the entire learning and development approach of a brand‑new charity.

• Build training programmes that empower people to change lives.

• Work alongside passionate, hopeful, determined people.

• Know that your work directly helps end loneliness.

• Be part of something bigger than all of us.

Your learning pathways will help someone feel ready. Your training will help someone feel supported. Your leadership will help someone feel less alone.

Successful candidates will require a DBS/POLICE check and references prior to commencement.

Every day, LGBTQ+ young people across the UK wonder whether things will ever get better. Whether they are navigating school, family, identity, or simply trying to find their place in the world, too many of them are doing it without the visibility, support, or role models they deserve. We exist to change that - to tell them clearly and consistently that it gets better, and that their lives have value exactly as they are.

It Gets Better UK is part of the global It Gets Better movement, present in over 20 countries. Since launching here in 2018, we have reached over 2.5 million people across all four nations through digital content, storytelling, and a growing volunteer community. We show up at Prides, we tell real stories, and we keep finding new ways to reach the young people who need to hear from us - through projects like our volunteer-led podcast and Voices of Wales, for example.

We are at a genuinely exciting point in our development. With a largely volunteer-led model that is embedded and working, and new trustees joining us to help shape our direction, we are focused on building a strategy that allows us to grow sustainably and serve LGBTQ+ young people more effectively across the UK. The people joining our board now will not just oversee that work - they will help design it.

We are looking for three new trustees, each bringing specific expertise:

• Fundraising and income generation - We are looking to diversify and strengthen our income base, with particular focus on grants, trusts and foundations and community fundraising. If you have professional fundraising experience and know how to build financial resilience in a values-led organisation, we want to hear from you.
• Marketing and communications - Our work is fundamentally about reaching people, and social media is central to how we do that. We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of digital platforms, content strategy, and how to build and engage audiences - particularly young people.
• Finance - Sound financial governance is essential as we plan for the future. We are looking for someone with a professional finance background who can support the board in its financial oversight responsibilities and help us build long-term resilience.

Because we are a largely volunteer-led charity, our trustees tend to be more operationally involved than you might find at a larger organisation. This is a hands-on role, and one that offers a genuine opportunity to contribute your expertise to something that matters.

A Final Word
Fundraising is not just income.
It is stewardship.

If you know that:

• Ethical fundraising sustains communities
• Pressure should never compromise values
• Leadership means saying no when needed

We Need Your Help!

Demand for our support is rising rapidly, and our movement is growing — but we cannot deliver life‑changing programmes without the people who make it all possible: our volunteers. We urgently need a leader who believes in community, empowerment, and the power of people coming together for good.

Become Our Volunteer Head of Volunteering and Help Build the Heart of Unlock YOUR Potential

Unlock YOUR Potential supports NEET adults (18+) across East London to rebuild confidence, access coaching, improve wellbeing, and reconnect with their ambitions. As a start‑up, we are building everything from the ground up — and our volunteer team will be the engine that drives our mission forward.

We need someone who can design, grow, and lead a volunteer community that is compassionate, skilled, and ready to make a difference.

This is your chance to build the entire volunteering function of a future charity.

Your Impact

As our Head of Volunteering, you will shape the culture, structure, and experience of every volunteer who joins us. Your leadership will ensure that the adults we support are met by trained, motivated, and supported volunteers who can help them unlock their potential.

You will help us:

• Build a strong, inclusive volunteer programme from scratch

• Recruit, train, and support volunteers across coaching, mentoring, wellbeing, and community outreach

• Create a positive, empowering volunteer culture rooted in dignity and respect

• Develop policies, processes, and safeguarding frameworks that keep everyone safe

• Build the volunteer infrastructure needed for charity registration and future growth

Your work will directly influence the quality, reach, and impact of every service we deliver.

What You’ll Lead On

• Volunteer Recruitment: Attracting passionate people from East London and beyond.

• Training & Development: Creating onboarding, training, and upskilling pathways for all volunteer roles.

• Volunteer Experience: Ensuring volunteers feel valued, supported, and connected to our mission.

• Safeguarding & Quality: Implementing best‑practice policies and ensuring safe, ethical service delivery.

• Programme Support: Working closely with our Head of Programmes & Services to match volunteers to roles.

• Community Building: Creating a warm, inclusive volunteer community that reflects our values.

This is a strategic and hands‑on leadership role — perfect for someone who wants to build something meaningful from the ground up.

What You Bring

You don’t need to have worked in a charity before — what matters most is leadership, empathy, and a passion for people.

You may be:

• Experienced in volunteer management, HR, community organising, coaching, or people development

• Skilled at building relationships and inspiring others

• Organised, proactive, and able to create structure where none exists yet

• Someone who understands the challenges faced by NEET adults or who brings lived experience

• A believer in community, empowerment, and second chances

Above all, you bring heart, integrity, and a commitment to helping people help others.

What You Gain

• A senior leadership role in a growing social impact start‑up

• The chance to build a volunteer programme from the ground up

• Real influence over how adults in East London access support

• Experience in leadership, volunteer management, and charity development

• A meaningful legacy — your work will shape the volunteer culture for years to come

This is an opportunity to build the beating heart of our organisation.

If you’re ready to help us lead change, we’d love to hear from you.
