We are seeking to recruit a Trustee with expertise in major donor fundraising to join our Board.
This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of a global charity working to improve diagnosis, treatment, support and research for people affected by encephalitis.
The Role
As a Trustee you will share collective responsibility for the governance, strategic direction and sustainability of Encephalitis International.
We are particularly seeking someone who can bring experience and insight in major donor recruitment, retention and stewardship to support the charity’s development and fundraising ambitions.
You will:
- Provide strategic guidance on major donor and philanthropic fundraising
- Help strengthen our approach to donor engagement, stewardship and long-term relationships
- Support the development of sustainable income streams and fundraising strategy
- Act as an ambassador for Encephalitis International and its mission
- Contribute to Board discussions and decision-making

What We Are Looking For
We would particularly welcome candidates with experience in:
- Major donor fundraising or philanthropy
- High-value relationship management
- Philanthropic giving within the charity, corporate or private sectors
- Developing or advising on major gift strategies
You may have gained this experience through work in the non-profit sector, philanthropy, corporate leadership, wealth advisory, or as a major donor yourself.
We are also particularly keen to welcome candidates from under-represented groups.
Previous trustee experience is not essential.
Time Commitment
- Approximately 4–6 Board meetings per year (usually virtual) and one in-person away-weekend.
- Occasional participation in committee meetings or events
- Preparation time for meetings
This is a voluntary role, though reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
Why Join Us?
By joining the Board of Encephalitis International you will play a vital role in helping the organisation expand its impact globally. Strengthening philanthropic support will allow us to reach more people affected by encephalitis, accelerate research and increase awareness of this often misunderstood condition.
You will be joining a passionate and committed Board helping to drive forward meaningful change for patients, survivors and families worldwide.

The London Foundation for Banking & Finance’s (LFBF) is a registered charity incorporated by Royal Charter. Our charitable purpose ‘is the advancement of knowledge of and education in financial services and to carry out research and publish the results for the benefit of the public.’
LFBF also recognises the highest level of professional competence by awarding chartered status to individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to continued education and professional excellence within Financial Services.
Our Story
The London Foundation for Banking & Finance (LFBF) started life back in March 1879, when a group of bank workers came together to establish leadership and professional practice principles for the industry. They created the first Institute of Bankers in England and Wales to offer educational resources to those in the sector.
Over the years, the organisation developed its own industry leading qualifications to create a gold standard of banking and financial education. It also established itself as a leading voice in the banking world, providing invaluable insights into all areas of the industry and promoting the highest standards of professional competency.
Today, we exist to support the advancement of knowledge and education in financial services. Previously, we were called The London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF), and we were renamed following the sale of our education and training activities in March 2023.
Today, our focus is on:

JOB PURPOSE:
This Role Transforms Volunteer Activity Into Structured, Ethical, High-Impact Operations
At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., our work is powered by people. Volunteer contribution is not just support, it is community, capacity and impact. The Volunteer Operations Analyst ensures that this contribution is organised, visible and aligned with the organisation’s mission, safeguarding responsibilities and growth.
You will play a key role in connecting people, systems and structure—ensuring that volunteer engagement is consistent, well-managed and sustainable as the C.I.C grows.
This is not a purely administrative role. It is insight-driven, systems-focused and central to how the organisation operates effectively behind the scenes.
Role Summary
The Operations Analyst is responsible for measuring, analyzing, and optimizing the organization’s
internal operations to improve efficiency, accountability, and overall performance. This role focuses on operational systems development, process evaluation, workflow optimization, and organizational effectiveness, enabling leadership to make informed decisions and ensuring that the organization’s activities are structured, scalable, and effective.
While analytical skills are essential, this is not a traditional Data Analyst role. The emphasis is on understanding how systems, teams, and workflows function, and using insight to design and improve operational structures, not just analyze datasets.
The Operations Analyst does not execute or enforce tasks, but plays a critical role in diagnosing
operational challenges and recommending actionable, system-level solutions.
REQUIRED SKILLS AND COMPETENCIES:
Technical Skills
Strong proficiency in:
- Google Sheets / Microsoft Excel
- Data tracking and reporting tools
- Ability to organize and interpret large sets of data

- Detail-oriented with a structured approach to analysis
Communication Skills

- Ability to think in systems, not just tasks

- (Experience working in remote or volunteer-based organizations is an advantage)

- Recommend practical, system-level improvements (not just data observations)
- Support leadership with structured insights that drive operational decisions
- Strengthen accountability, clarity, and scalability across the organization’s operations
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Data Tracking & Performance Monitoring
- Develop and maintain centralized tracking systems (e.g., Google Sheets, Airtable) to support operational visibility
- Monitor key operational metrics across departments, including:
- Volunteer recruitment and onboarding timelines
- Task completion rates across teams
- Program and project delivery timelines
- Ensure data is accurate, relevant, and structured to inform operational decisions (not just reporting)
2. Reporting & Operational Insights
- Prepare weekly or bi-weekly operational reports for leadership
- Go beyond reporting by clearly highlighting:
- Root causes of inefficiencies
- System and workflow gaps
- Operational risks
- Translate data and observations into clear, actionable, system-focused recommendations
3. Process Analysis & Workflow Design
- Document and map existing workflows across functions (HR, Programs, Operations, etc.)
- Analyze how work actually flows across teams—not just what is recorded in data
- Identify bottlenecks
✅ The Operations Analyst WILL:
❌ The Operations Analyst WILL NOT:
○ Redundant or unclear steps

4. Risk Identification & Escalation
● Proactively identify and flag:

5. Systems & Process Optimization
● Lead efforts in operational systems improvement, including:

SCOPE AND BOUNDARIES FOR THE ROLE:
To ensure clarity and proper role alignment:
- Analyze workflows, systems, and operational performance
- Design and recommend process and system improvements
- Provide structured insights that inform operational decisions
- Function as a Data Analyst focused solely on datasets and reporting
- Be limited to producing reports without contributing to process improvement and system design
- Manage or supervise team members
- Enforce task completion or handle administrative coordination
WORKING RELATIONSHIP:
The Operations Analyst will:
- Report directly to the Director of Central Operations & Executive Coordination
- Support decision-making but will not replace leadership authority
- Work collaboratively across all teams while maintaining objectivity and independence
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs)
Success in this role will be measured by:
- Quality and impact of operational insights and recommendations
- Measurable improvements in workflow efficiency and system effectiveness
- Reduction in process bottlenecks and delays

The Bevan Foundation is seeking new trustees to join its Board.
Could you support the Bevan Foundation in its mission to end poverty and inequality in Wales?
About the Bevan Foundation
The Bevan Foundation is Wales's most influential think tank. We create insights, ideas and impact that help to end poverty and inequality. Over recent years the Foundation has helped secure real and lasting change for people across Wales, from universal free school meals for primary pupils to increases in Education Maintenance Allowance. We’ve built a reputation for trusted, evidence-based insights and ideas that influence decision-makers and improve lives.
About this role
We are looking for new trustees to join our board to fill vacancies.
This is an exciting opportunity to get involved with our high impact team. You’ll help the organisation to increase understanding of the challenges facing people in Wales, help to develop effective solutions and keep the charity on course.
The usual term of office of trustees is four years, with the possibility of another four-year term thereafter.
Trustees do not get paid, although reasonable expenses for travel may be claimed.
About you
We are looking for people who are passionate about improving the lives of the people of Wales, and who want to make a difference by generating insights that help to change public policy and practice.
Trustees come from all walks of life – there are no specific qualifications or experiences we require. However, applications from people with fundraising or senior leadership experience, or from people fluent in the Welsh language, would be particularly welcome.
We want our board to reflect the breadth of Wales’ population. We welcome applications from everyone, but would particularly like to hear from younger people, people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and people in north and west Wales. We’d also welcome applications from people working in front-line roles with people on low-incomes.
Don’t worry if you haven’t had experience of being a trustee or board member before. We will offer you support and training to help you to undertake your role, and in addition we’re aiming to partner with external board training programmes.

Our partner works globally to support local communities to safely document human rights abuses. Through its network and tools, the organisation enables citizen journalists to gather and share evidence that can drive accountability and change.
The Treasurer will sit on the Board as a Trustee and play a key role in overseeing the financial health of the organisation. Working closely with the Chair, CEO, Operations Director and finance lead, the Treasurer will support strong financial governance, provide strategic oversight, and help guide decision-making through clear financial insight. The role also involves chairing the Finance Committee, reviewing budgets and management accounts, advising on financial risks, and overseeing the audit process.
The ideal candidate will be a qualified accountant or an experienced finance professional, with a good understanding of charity finance and governance. You will be comfortable operating at board level, able to provide constructive challenge, and confident explaining financial matters to non-financial stakeholders. A collaborative approach, sound judgement, and a genuine interest in the organisation’s mission are key.
This is a rewarding trustee opportunity with an estimated time commitment of around 5 to 6 hours per quarter, alongside some ad hoc support as needed, offering flexibility around when that time is given.

Registered in 1999, Daybreak is a charity whose foundations are in growing the practice of Family Group Conferences in the UK. From this, we have seen the positive impact that occurs when families and communities are empowered to take action when faced with challenging situations.
People and communities often feel disempowered - especially those whose lives are influenced by the systems around them. However, we know that people can take action to support each other and choose what action to take when given the right opportunity to have their voice heard.
This is why we believe in a world where families, people’s wider social networks, and communities work together to make decisions and proactively solve the problems affecting their lives.
Now, utilising a range of family led decision making approaches and working alongside partner organisations and within the community, we bring people together to create opportunities for them to communicate, work together, and choose what actions to take, in order to move forward, be safe, and thrive.
Throughout our various programs, our work centres around the principles of voluntary participation, transparency and openness for all, advocacy for those who need it, and for our contribution to be facilitative not prescriptive.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking to welcome two new members to our Board of Trustees.
To serve as one of Daybreak’s trustees is to play a fundamental role in enabling our charity to pursue its vision, mission, and values. Your contribution to discussions and decision-making at the highest level of our organisation will ensure that we can continue to provide our services to those in need of our support.
The role is more focused on strategy than detail. You will offer crucial guidance and support to management in developing a growth strategy that will allow Daybreak to reach more people and touch more lives.
There is no requirement for you to have experience as a Trustee. All we need is a willingness to use your skills and expertise to support Daybreak, a desire to make a difference for our service users, and a commitment to active participation in the role.
We would especially welcome applications from those with experience in Data, Digital and either Children or Adult Social Services.
The time commitment involved is around thirty hours per year, though a wide range of opportunities to get involved in the Board’s work will be provided. Board meetings are usually held quarterly in Hampshire or online.
What we offer
As a trustee you will be given:
-
Induction and ongoing support.
-
Board-level experience in a friendly environment, with the opportunity to exercise your existing skills and develop new ones. Our Board contains a diverse range of individuals from various backgrounds, including business and family services, and you will be able to tap into and learn from the breadth of knowledge that they possess.
-
Scope to drive a growth strategy designed to expand our services and allow us to give more families and communities the chance to take control of their circumstances. Your experience and insight will be vital in enabling us to channel the power of families and communities coming together to strengthen the bonds between them.
-
A comprehensive insight into the charitable sector, the challenges it faces, and how these challenges can be overcome.
-
The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children, young people, and their families. Your strategic input will help spur positive change and empower families and communities to overcome their unique challenges, and you will see the beneficial impact of your decision-making play out across our services.
-
The knowledge that your contribution has helped secure the best possible results for service users and navigate the challenges our charity faces. By helping us, you will help families to find more workable solutions to their problems, while avoiding plans being imposed upon them.
