Employability volunteer roles

Hello there, we're Unlock YOUR Potential a micro/small social mobility charitable organisation providing employability services to adults across the UK.

We're in need of a volunteer who can give up some time to help us out by creating a logo and brand guide for our new social mobility charity, helping us raise our profile and reach more people who need our help and support.

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe an “accident of birth” should never determine a person’s destination. We are a new UK‑based social mobility charity committed to breaking cycles of deprivation through holistic employability, wellbeing, and mentoring programmes that empower adults to thrive.

We are prioritising delivery in areas that rank among the top 10 most deprived areas nationally for employment and skills. The need here is real. The talent is abundant. The opportunity for impact is extraordinary.

We are looking for a creative, thoughtful, and mission‑driven volunteer designer who can craft a logo that:

• Captures our purpose — breaking down barriers and unlocking potential

• Communicates growth and transformation

• Feels modern, bold, and full of possibility

• Resonates with adults from working‑class and underserved communities

• Works across digital, print, and social platforms

Your design will become the visual foundation of our charity — a symbol of hope, ambition, and opportunity for the communities we serve.

You will work closely with the Founder to design a modern, meaningful, and impactful logo that reflects our mission of growth, development, empowerment, and change.

Youth engagement is a core part of our how we function. We have a network of paid Young Associates as well as 2 Young Trustees (under 25 years old). We are now looking to strengthen our Governance with the appointment of another Young Trustee, ideally someone with relevant lived experience and/or has participated in Youth Careers Collective programmes.

Essential criteria

- A commitment to realising Youth Careers Collective’s mission

- Experience of effective, fair and impartial decision-making

- A willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the duties of effective Trusteeship

Desirable criteria

- Experience of operating at Board or Committee level, either executive or non-executive

- Experience of strategic development and implementation

- Some experience, knowledge and understanding of the charity sector

- Some experience, knowledge and understanding of state schools and colleges

- Experience of income generation, policy, marketing and communication, or digital

We do not expect applicants to have all the above experience, and welcome first-time Trustees and will provide training and support on the role. We also welcome candidates with links to our priority area of west London, those from ethnic minority and black backgrounds, reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve, and from candidates with disabilities.

Hello there - we’re Unlock YOUR Potential, a micro/small social‑mobility charity providing employability support to adults across the UK.

We’re looking for a proactive, organised and mission‑driven Volunteer Project Manager who can volunteer their time to help us set up and launch our new charity. This is a short‑term, high‑impact role supporting the Founder directly — and you will be the first operational volunteer to join the organisation, alongside a small team of graphic designers.

About Unlock YOUR Potential

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe an “accident of birth” should never determine a person’s destination. We are committed to breaking cycles of deprivation through holistic employability, wellbeing, and mentoring programmes that empower adults to thrive.

We are prioritising delivery in areas that rank among the top 10% most deprived nationally for employment and skills. The need is real. The talent is abundant. The opportunity for impact is extraordinary.

What this role involves

We need a volunteer Project Manager who can take the lead on planning, coordinating and driving forward the essential tasks required to get us launch‑ready.

You will work closely with the Founder to:

• Develop clear project plans, timelines and action lists for the charity’s set‑up and launch

• Establish early operational processes, workflows and simple systems

• Track progress, identify risks, and keep the Founder focused on priorities

• Coordinate tasks across design, operations, service development and early marketing

• Support the Founder with recruiting the wider volunteer team needed to deliver our services

• Help shape the structure and foundations of a brand‑new social‑mobility charity

Your work will directly influence how quickly and effectively we can begin supporting adults who face the highest barriers to employment and skills.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in project management, operations, or organisational planning

• Someone who is structured, reliable, and comfortable creating order from ambiguity

• A collaborator who enjoys building things from scratch

• A person who cares deeply about social mobility, fairness, and opportunity

• Someone who can commit time over the next few weeks/months to help us reach launch

Why this role matters

Your contribution will shape the charity at its earliest and most critical stage. You won’t just be managing tasks — you’ll be helping build the foundations of an organisation designed to unlock potential for thousands of adults across the UK.

If after you have supported us and want to continue to volunteer with us, that option is available to you but for this particular project we need a short-term volunteer to help us in the start-up/launch phase).

Our admin and reception volunteers are the backbone of our service - without them we couldn't run.

Based at our office in Ponders End (EN3) our volunteers welcome all clients and other visitors, updating them on any waiting times and getting preparatory forms completed.  They manage incoming and outgoing post and send out appointment reminders. One of their crucial roles is to support advisers and the staff team with client registration, photocopying and scanning documents and updating internal spreadsheets and databases as required. To help keep the office running smoothly volunteers also restock stationery and ensure posters and display information is up-to-date. They follow up on letters sent to clients and monitor our client mailbox - recording actions taken, setting reminders and tasks.

So, you see, we really can't do without them.

Being an admin and reception volunteer you would gain experience of an office environment and build on skills such as communication, admin, IT and working within a team.  This in turn would increase employability. However, we do welcome volunteers of all ages - some of our longest serving volunteers are retired and make a terrific contribution to our service.

You will need to:

• be friendly and approachable
• respect views, values and cultures that are different to your own
• have good IT skills
• be willing to learn about and follow the Citizens Advice aims, principles and policies, including confidentiality and data protection
• be willing to undertake training

Social Support Volunteer (Mentor)

This role offers one-to-one support to people experiencing issues with housing, healthcare, benefits, and employment. You will support individuals, helping them to access accommodation, secure financial support, improve their health and wellbeing, and develop employability skills.

What will you be doing?

You will support individuals to navigate complex systems such as housing, benefits and healthcare, offering practical help with forms and appointments in a respectful and confidential way. Work closely with partners including SIFA Fireside, Room Match, Tabor House and Street Link, and support people with CVs, job applications and work experience. You will also be involved in community engagement, raising awareness of homelessness and maintaining accurate, confidential records.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone with strong interpersonal skills who communicates respectfully and has a genuine commitment to supporting vulnerable people. You’ll be organised and able to manage time, records and appointments effectively, while working well as part of a team to provide joined-up support. Patience, emotional intelligence and a solutions-focused mindset are essential. Knowledge of benefits, housing or local support systems is beneficial but not essential.

What difference will you make?

Your input will have a direct impact on people’s lives and help reduce homelessness in Birmingham. You’ll support individuals to build confidence, resilience and self-worth, helping them regain control by removing barriers that can hold people back and supporting them towards a more secure and hopeful future.
