Become the Volunteer Who Helps Launch a Movement
Join Unlock YOUR Potential and help build a charity that breaks barriers and transforms futures
At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never define a person’s destiny. Talent is everywhere — opportunity is not. We exist to change that.
We’re building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Through holistic employability, wellbeing and mentoring programmes, we’re here to break cycles, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.
We’re focusing our work in areas ranked among the top 10% most deprived in the UK for employment and skills. The need is urgent. The barriers are real. But the opportunity for impact is extraordinary.
And this is where you come in......
Volunteer Project Manager (Short‑Term, High‑Impact Role)
Help us build a charity from the ground up
We’re looking for a proactive, organised and mission‑driven Volunteer Project Manager to help us set up and launch our new charity. This is a rare chance to be the first operational volunteer joining the Founder and a small team of designers at the earliest, most exciting stage of our journey.
This is not just a role — it’s a chance to shape the foundations of an organisation that will support thousands of adults across the UK.
You will work directly with the Founder to:
-
Build clear project plans, timelines and action lists for our launch
-
Create simple, effective early systems, workflows and operational processes
-
Track progress, identify risks and keep the Founder focused on what matters most
-
Coordinate tasks across design, operations, service development and early marketing
-
Support the recruitment of our wider volunteer team
-
Influence the structure, strategy and foundations of a brand‑new social‑mobility charity
Your work will directly determine how quickly we can begin delivering life‑changing support to adults who face the highest barriers to employment and skills.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
Experienced in project management, operations or organisational planning
-
Someone who brings structure, clarity and calm to fast‑moving environments
-
A builder — someone who enjoys creating order from ambiguity
-
Deeply passionate about fairness, opportunity and social mobility
-
Able to commit time over the next few weeks or months to help us reach launch
If you choose to stay on after the launch, we’d love that — but this particular project is focused on the start‑up phase.
Why this role matters
This is your chance to be part of something at the moment it begins. You won’t just be managing tasks — you’ll be shaping a charity designed to unlock potential for people who have been overlooked for far too long.
- If you want to use your skills to create real, lasting social impact…
- If you want to help build something meaningful from the ground up…
- If you believe that where someone starts should never limit where they can go…
We’d love to hear from you.
