Volunteer Role: Chief Operating Officer (COO)
Join a movement built on care, dignity, and community.
Unlock YOUR Potential is launching in Newham and Tower Hamlets — and we’re looking for a strategic, organised, values‑driven operational leader to help build the systems, structures, and delivery engine that will change lives.
We are a 100% volunteer‑led organisation supporting adults aged 18–67 who face barriers to employment, education, confidence, and wellbeing. Our programmes are trauma‑informed, community‑based, and rooted in human connection.
If you believe people deserve to be seen, heard, and supported — this role is for you.
What You’ll Do
As our Chief Operating Officer, you will:
-
Lead the operational setup and day‑to‑day running of the organisation.
-
Build and oversee systems for service delivery, safeguarding, quality assurance, and volunteer coordination.
-
Ensure our programmes run smoothly, safely, and consistently across Newham and Tower Hamlets.
-
Work closely with the CEO and Heads of Function to turn strategy into practical, reliable delivery.
-
Develop processes for scheduling, logistics, risk management, and participant flow.
-
Support volunteer teams to deliver high‑quality, trauma‑informed sessions.
-
Oversee monitoring, evaluation, and reporting systems to track impact and learning.
-
Ensure the organisation operates with care, dignity, and operational excellence.
This is a senior leadership role where your work will shape the rhythm, reliability, and long‑term sustainability of our movement.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
Highly organised, calm under pressure, and values‑driven.
-
Experienced in operations, service delivery, project management, or charity leadership.
-
Confident building systems, processes, and structures from scratch.
-
Skilled at coordinating people, programmes, and logistics.
-
Passionate about trauma‑informed, person‑centred practice.
-
Able to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on operational delivery.
-
Ready to help build something meaningful from the ground up.
Experience in employability, wellbeing, adult learning, or community development is helpful — but heart, care, and operational clarity matter most.
Why Join Us
-
Be part of a new, community‑powered movement.
-
Shape the operational backbone of the organisation from day one.
-
Work alongside people with lived experience, empathy, and heart.
-
Gain senior leadership experience in a growing charity.
-
Make a real difference to adults who feel unseen and unsupported.
Time Commitment
- 6–10 hours per week, flexible
- Based in London (with hybrid options)
We Welcome You
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, especially those with lived experience of the barriers our participants face.
