Become the Assistant for Recruitment of the Principality of Lys
A Call to Purpose. A Call to Craftsmanship. A Call to Shape the Future.
For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has been quietly building its cultural foundations, refining its identity, and preparing for a new era. In 2027, we step forward — publicly, proudly, and with purpose — to host events, open our doors to the world, and begin the long‑awaited journey toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.
To rise into this new chapter, we need builders. We need visionaries. We need those who can see potential in people and help them find their place in history.
This is where you come in.

ADMIN MANAGER & COMPANY SECRETARY (VOLUNTEER ROLE)
SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever
Do you remember lockdown?
- The stillness.
- The uncertainty.
- The feeling of being cut off from the world.
- The long days where connection felt far away.
Now imagine living like that every single day — not because of a pandemic, but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s whole life.
At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that be anyone’s reality. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.
We’re here to bring back joy, connection and human warmth — and we need someone organised, steady and compassionate to help keep our young charity running smoothly behind the scenes.
Who We Are
SUNSHINE is a brand‑new, grassroots, 100% volunteer‑powered charity on a mission to brighten the lives of people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We’re small, passionate, and building something hopeful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our mission is already alive, growing and ready to shine.
Now we need someone who can help us stay organised, compliant and confident as we grow.
Your Role: Admin Manager & Company Secretary
This is a vital role at the heart of our charity’s operations.
You will be the person who keeps us organised, compliant and functioning — the calm, reliable presence who ensures SUNSHINE runs smoothly as we build our services, our team and our impact.
You will:
-
Manage our core administration, ensuring documents, records and processes are kept up to date
-
Support the Board and CEO, helping prepare agendas, minutes and paperwork
-
Ensure good governance, keeping us aligned with legal and regulatory requirements
-
Maintain key policies, updating them as we grow
-
Oversee filing systems, digital organisation and internal communications
-
Support volunteer onboarding admin, helping us stay structured and efficient
-
Be the organisational backbone, helping SUNSHINE stay steady, safe and well‑run
Your work will help us build a charity that people can trust — one that is safe, organised and ready to support those who need us most.
Who You Are
- You’re someone who loves order, clarity and good organisation.
- You’re reliable, detail‑focused and calm under pressure.
- You care deeply about people and want to use your skills to make a real difference.
- Maybe you’ve worked in admin, office management, governance, compliance or PA roles.
- Maybe you’ve supported Boards or senior leaders before.
- Maybe you’re simply brilliant at keeping things running smoothly.
What matters most is your heart, your steadiness, and your belief that loneliness should never be a life sentence.
Why Join Us Now?
Because this is the moment everything begins.
You won’t just be joining a charity — you’ll be helping to build it. Your organisation will shape our foundations. Your attention to detail will shape our safety. Your presence will help us bring sunshine into lives that have been dark for far too long.
If you want to be part of something hopeful, human and life‑changing, this is your moment.
How to Apply
Send us your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you.
We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences and walks of life.
Let’s build a charity full of sunshine — together.

SUNSHINE is a small grassroots charity that works to reduce loneliness & help people feel more connected: through projects, partnerships & community
Thank you!
The Willats Trust is a grant-making, cross-denominational Christian charity with a vision to see our estates and most deprived communities around the UK transformed by the love of Jesus.
Our mission is to fund relational evangelism through local expressions of church, by working with like-hearted partners to share the good news of Jesus in the areas of greatest deprivation across the UK.
Since our establishment in 1858, sharing the Gospel in these communities has always been our priority. Thanks to the generosity of Mr Willats, who gifted a significant property portfolio to the charity at its inception, we have been able to use funds generated from this property portfolio to finance grant-making to support evangelists, church planters, or other activities related to evangelism and making disciples in the top 20% areas of deprivation across the UK.
Following a strategic review in 2025, we have an ambition to more than double the amount we award in grants from £500,000 to £1m a year. Over the next ten years, we want to see more thriving Jesus-centric churches planted in our areas of greatest deprivation and led by people who look like the communities they are serving. This means part of our grant-making supports immediate tactical needs, but part of our grant-making also seeks to influence the underlying factors which will enable the long-term fulfilment of our vision.
We believe the kingdom of God works best when we all bring what is in our hand and let God do the multiplication. Our posture is to come alongside like-hearted partners who share the same vision and work together in partnership to support and equip those God has called to these communities.
We are seeking to make two Trustee appointments. Individuals who bring expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Mission-related: someone with lived experience of planting, leading or supporting Jesus-centric churches in communities experiencing significant deprivation. You will probably also carry a sense of calling that is bigger than a single geographic area and will be able help us think strategically about how we use our resources to contribute to increased church planting and evangelism in our areas of greatest deprivation, alongside others, over the next decade and bring deep relationships with others already serving in this space.
- Commercial property: someone with professional property expertise relating to exiting portfolios of residential and non-purpose-built HMO properties, or property development, who can advise on asset optimisation and property exits over the coming years, which will enable us to give more money away.
- Legal, financial or HR: individuals with strategic leadership skills and a passion to see resources deployed for Kingdom-purpose.
The time commitment required of a Trustee is usually likely to equate to approximately 6-8 days per year.
It’s a crucial and exciting time in the history and further development of The Willats Trust. By being a Trustee you will be able to make a difference across the UK and get to have a ringside seat to see what God is doing, as we know his heart is always for the most overlooked and forgotten. We are full of expectancy for what God is going to do in this current season and want to play our small part in this, alongside others.
We appreciate the rich diversity of our Trustees and Staff and seek to create a culture where everyone develops and fulfils their potential. We recognise the immense value of different perspectives brought by those with varied backgrounds, characteristics and experiences. We particularly welcome applications from under-represented sections of the community (specifically in our context, women, individuals of Global Majority Heritage and those from non-Anglican church worshipping backgrounds).
Please note that this role has an Occupational Requirement to be a committed Christian as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010.
Closing date: 12 noon BST on Friday 8th May 2026.
