Approx. 20 hours per week (flexible) | Min 6 month commitment preferred
Lead with compassion. Shape the future. Help transform lives.
Women on the Frontline Ministries (WOFM) is a Christian charity supporting women affected by sexual exploitation, trauma, isolation, abuse and vulnerability through outreach, advocacy, practical support and relationship-based care.
For many years, WOFM has built trusted relationships within local communities across East London, working alongside churches, frontline organisations and partner agencies to provide compassionate, non-judgemental support to women facing complex challenges.
We are now seeking a values-driven and collaborative Volunteer Charity Manager to help lead the organisation into its next season of growth, sustainability and impact.
About the Role
The Volunteer Charity Manager will provide overall leadership, coordination and operational oversight for the charity, working closely with the Board of Trustees, staff team and volunteers to strengthen the delivery of WOFM’s mission and future development.
This is a varied leadership role combining strategic coordination, relationship management, community engagement and operational oversight within a grassroots charity environment.
The successful candidate will not be working alone. The organisation currently includes:
• a part-time Women’s Support Worker
• a part-time Social Media Lead
• a dedicated team of volunteer Outreach Assistants
• an active and supportive Board of Trustees committed to working closely alongside the Manager
The Board is seeking a self-starting individual who works well independently and is committed to supporting the successful candidate with a sustainable organisational structure as the charity continues to grow and develop.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership & Operational Coordination
• Provide overall coordination and day-to-day leadership across the charity’s outreach programmes and activities
• Oversee the effective delivery of operational priorities, outreach services and community engagement initiatives
• Maintain and strengthen effective systems, administration and organisational processes
• Work collaboratively with staff, volunteers and trustees to ensure services are delivered safely, compassionately and effectively
Team Leadership & Volunteer Coordination
• Encourage, coordinate and develop staff and volunteers across the organisation
• Oversee volunteer communication, engagement and rota coordination
• Contribute to recruitment, onboarding and ongoing team development
• Foster a collaborative, values-led and supportive organisational culture
Safeguarding & Community Engagement
• Promote good safeguarding practice and help ensure safeguarding responsibilities are managed appropriately
• Build strong working relationships with local organisations, churches and support agencies
• Contribute to advocacy, signposting and practical support activities where appropriate
Partnerships & Representation
• Build and maintain positive relationships with community partners, churches, local organisations and stakeholders
• Represent WOFM at meetings, networking opportunities and community events
• Champion awareness of the charity’s mission, impact and future vision
Governance, Sustainability & Development
• Work closely with the Chair and Board of Trustees to support the strategic direction of the organisation
• Prepare updates and reports for trustee meetings where required
• Contribute to fundraising activities, funding applications and sustainability planning
• Help strengthen the long-term development and operational capacity of the charity
About You
We are looking for someone who is compassionate, organised and able to lead with empathy, wisdom and good judgement.
You may have experience within:
• charity leadership or voluntary sector management
• community outreach or social impact work
• ministry or faith-based leadership
• safeguarding or support services
• operations, programme or project coordination
• volunteer management or partnership working
We also welcome applications from individuals with transferable leadership experience and a genuine passion for supporting vulnerable women and strengthening communities.
Note: This role is open to female applicants only, as being female is deemed to be a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010. The successful candidate is required to complete an enhanced DBS check.
Skills & Qualities
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Ability to lead, coordinate and motivate others
• Organised with strong administrative and leadership abilities
• Emotionally resilient with sound judgement and professional boundaries
• Collaborative and able to work independently when required
• Comfortable using email, spreadsheets and online communication platforms
• Understanding of confidentiality and safeguarding principles
• Alignment with the values and compassionate ethos of the organisation
Time Commitment & Availability
This is a flexible volunteer leadership role of approximately 20 hours per week, which we are happy to shape around the right person’s other commitments. We would suggest thinking of it as roughly 4 hours a day across a typical working week but how those hours are arranged is genuinely negotiable, and we are open to discussing an arrangement that works for you.
The role is hybrid, combining:
• remote and flexible working from home
• attendance at outreach activities, particularly on Wednesday afternoons for daytime drop-in sessions and Friday evenings for evening outreach
• meetings and occasional events in East London (typically evenings and occasional weekends)
• trustee and board meetings on a regular scheduled cycle
Reasonable, pre-agreed out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in carrying out the role (for example, travel) will be reimbursed. Ideally, we are seeking someone able to commit to the role for a minimum of 6 months to support continuity and sustainable growth.
Support & Future Development
The successful candidate will work alongside a committed Board of Trustees, staff team and volunteers who are passionate about the mission of the charity.
While this is currently a voluntary role, the Board is actively working to secure funding with the aim of creating paid leadership and operational roles in the future. We cannot guarantee if or when such funding will be confirmed, and any future paid appointment would be made through a fair and open recruitment process. That said, someone who grows with WOFM and comes to know the organisation well would be well placed to be considered as those opportunities arise.
The organisation is continuing to strengthen its operational foundations and develop sustainable structures to support long-term impact within the community.
Why Join WOFM?
This is an opportunity to:
• make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable women
• help shape the future direction of a growing grassroots charity
• work alongside a passionate and committed team
• contribute to a mission rooted in compassion, dignity, faith and hope
• build sustainable impact within local communities
• grow with an organisation that is actively working towards funded leadership roles

Introduction
Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) is a UK-registered charity dedicated to reducing global malnutrition through knowledge exchange, research, and advocacy. Since its founding, ENN has worked at the forefront of nutrition thought leadership, enabling evidence-based programming and policy development to improve nutrition outcomes in low- and middle-income countries and crisis settings.
We work in close partnership with national governments, UN bodies, NGOs, academic institutions, and funders to strengthen the design and delivery of nutrition interventions. Our areas of expertise include infant and young child feeding in emergencies, the management of wasting and stunting, adolescent nutrition, and maternal and infant care for at-risk groups, including through our MAMI initiative. ENN also publishes Field Exchange, a globally recognised technical publication in humanitarian nutrition.
Our vision is a world where ‘Every individual confronted by malnutrition has access to the knowledge, tools, services and resources they require to meet their needs’.
ENN is governed by a diverse and skilled Board of Trustees, who provide strategic direction and ensure that the organisation operates in line with its charitable objectives and legal obligations. Our trustees play a vital role in upholding ENN’s values: independence, integrity, collaboration, and field-driven insight.
We are now seeking a Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees, oversee financial governance, and support ENN’s strategic direction as we enter our next phase of growth and impact.
For more information about ENN, visit our website.
The Treasurer Role
Being an ENN Trustee is an important, influential and valuable role and as well as ensuring that we are an accountable and well governed organisation you will make an important contribution to our current work and future direction.
The Treasurer plays a vital role in overseeing the charity’s financial performance and sustainability; leading the Finance sub-committee (FSC) to inform the board in its decision making.
Specific responsibilities include:
· Attend quarterly Board and finance sub-committee meetings and contribute to strategic development
· Safeguard, respect and demonstrate ENNs values, policies and reputation
Required Knowledge and Skills
· Extensive senior management experience in finance, with relevant qualifications (AAT / ACCA or
· equivalent)
· Experience in overseeing annual audits, identifying and managing auditors
· Understanding of the role of a Trustee and how Trustees can interact with ENN’s Management Team to best
· effect.
· Experience of multiple income/project organisations.
· Experience in the not-for-profit sector is desirable.
· Prior experience of working with or on a board is desirable.
· Strong inter-personal and relationship-building skills
Time Commitment – And our Commitment to You
Your commitment in an average year is likely to be 3 pre-fixed board meetings, each of half a day. Each of these are preceded by sub-committee meetings, usually of ninety-minutes, and each trustee is expected to allocate time to prepare for all meeting and participate in one sub-committee. The Treasurer chairs the Finance sub-committee. Other committee and ad hoc meetings and additional support will be arranged as agreed. We encourage active participation and engagement, and Trustees often give more time outside of this, on their own terms.
Trustees serve a four-year term, renewable once.
Board meetings are held virtually, with an intention to hold one facilitated face to face meeting at, or near, the ENN office in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, every two years. Sub-committee meetings are convened remotely.
Ideally you will join the Board in 2026, though we can show some flexibility for the right candidate, and in your first few months you should allow for additional time for induction and orientation (including meeting a number of the Leadership Team).
Remuneration
This is an unpaid, voluntary position. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed for attendance at Board meetings and other Trustee activities in line with ENN’s policies. Some employers encourage and enable trusteeship as part of wider career development and corporate social responsibility; please check with your organisation and their relevant policies.
Our Values and Commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
ENN is committed to diversity and inclusion, and to building a culture where every staff member and volunteer is recognised and valued as an individual. We actively encourage applications from a broad range of experiences and backgrounds and are particularly interested in improving representation of younger people and minority ethnic groups on our Board.

If you already have a transferrable enhanced DBS, please state this in your application.

Additional Information About ENN
A Letter from the Board of Trustees
At ENN we are truly passionate about what we do. Over the past 30 years ENN has become a powerful and recognised name in the nutrition sector, working with others to influence outcomes around the world. We produce highly regarded research and publications that inform and inspire practitioners worldwide and we convene technical interest groups and communities of practice who are the ‘go to’ networks for their specialisms. Our partners know and trust ENN for quality, rigour and impartiality. Our work makes a real difference in the lives of children in some of the most difficult parts of the world. The ENN-led Operational Guidance on Infant Feeding in Emergencies has become the key global policy guidance and has been endorsed by the World Health Assembly, and our technical leadership and convening has facilitated real change in awareness and a new narrative, challenging siloed approaches to Wasting and Stunting management.
Our work has never been more important. Nutritional challenges are growing across the world; undernutrition rates may be slowly decreasing but other forms of malnutrition are on the rise. The positive progress that is being made is unequal and many countries are now facing the double burden of both under and over nutrition. Crises around the world are increasingly protracted and the historical and artificial silos of ‘humanitarian’ and ‘development’ don’t reflect real needs which are much more fluid. Emerging threats, such as the broader impact on nutrition of the COVID-19 pandemic bring new challenges to address.
At present our annual turnover is around £1.5m, we employ 20+ staff and engage up to a dozen consultants. With our 2024-28 strategy, we are keen to drive even greater impact by exploring new and innovative approaches and increasing our reach further still. We do so with funding in place from a range of institutional partners and private foundations.
As an organisation working across numerous technical areas relevant for countries experiencing high burden of malnutrition, we look to the board, and those trustees with a more technical focus in particular, to discuss new opportunities and challenges to ensure we maintain a responsive and balanced portfolio. Trustees help us further develop our network, funding and connections, and help us navigate the important work we do to influence structural and impactful change in the sector, including advising in situations where there is potential for strategic risk. We are looking for a Finance professional to join the board, who can bring their knowledge and extensive experience to this role.
We hope the enclosed information helps you to explore ENN and the role.
With best wishes,
The ENN Board of Trustees
Vision
Our vision is: ‘Every individual confronted by malnutrition has access to the knowledge, tools, services and resources they require to meet their needs’
Our History
Founded in 1996 in Ireland, ENN has a long and rich history in global nutrition. Following an evaluation of the Great Lakes Emergency in 1995, implementing agencies identified an urgent need to establish a vehicle for capturing programming experiences and preserving institutional memory in the emergency food and nutrition sector. This gave rise to ENN’s publication, Field Exchange, which was first produced in 1996, designed to stimulate critical thinking and learning, influence research agendas and cross-fertilise information and exchange. ENN was generously hosted by Trinity College Dublin for its first eight years, before relocating to Oxfordshire in 2004 and is now a UK registered Charity.
"To me, ENN is one of the most long-standing focal points for emergency nutrition technical information and coordination." (ENN partner)
Who We Are Now
Our Strategy aims to enhance the effectiveness of nutrition policy and programming by improving knowledge, stimulating learning, building evidence and providing support and encouragement to practitioners and decision-makers involved in nutrition and related interventions. We take a particular lens on fragile and conflict affected, and high burden, states. We have three core principles guiding our work:
· Independent, neutral and impartial
ENN is not bound by the views or positions of any one institution and is not a nutrition implementing agency. Any opinions expressed are based on the available evidence and the experience of our rich and diverse network.
· Driven by our network
ENN’s network is made up of practitioners, decision-makers and academics working on nutrition and associated fields all over the world. By supporting their learning and sharing their knowledge, ENN is able to make a unique contribution to turning knowledge into practice.
· Based on experiential learning and evidence
ENN believes that policy and practice can, and should be, informed by evidence and experience. Where this exists, ENN seeks to share the learning from this evidence and experience; where it is missing, ENN advocates for it to be developed or directly supports, and often brokers, its development.
Our People
ENN’s team is made up of a range of technical experts in nutrition, with decades of collective experience, and a small operational team. ENN’s Management Team comprises of the CEO, 1 (of two) Technical Director, a Finance Manager, the HR Manager, the Communications and Digital Manager and a Projects Coordinator Lead. As well as our staff, we engage a significant number of experienced specialist consultants on our projects. ENN is highly committed to diversity and inclusion, to enabling and promoting flexible working for our staff, and to supporting continued professional development.

Although this is currently a volunteer position, Influential Stars is actively working to grow the platform with the long term aim of creating paid roles. While we are unable to provide a timeframe and future opportunities will depend on the organisation’s growth and incoming work, this role offers the chance to be part of that journey from an early stage.
As Influential Stars is a volunteer-led platform, we are looking for someone who can work proactively and independently, including sourcing content inspiration, planning posts, identifying trends, and helping build consistent social media momentum rather than relying solely on daily instruction.

Stuart, Lead Volunteer at our North Shields Mind Shop
Why did you want to become a Lead Volunteer?
I chose to volunteer at Mind, specifically because of the cause – I support the charity in what they want to achieve. Mind also supported me through the lockdown period during the pandemic, which I found very isolating.
I’ve volunteered for Mind for 20 years - I started volunteering for Mind in 2005. At the time, I had a full-time job, but I wanted to try volunteering. I’ve volunteered in a number of Mind shops, including Wallsend, Whitley Bay, Gateshead (which was where I became a Lead Volunteer) and finally, North Shields.
I wanted to become a Lead Volunteer to gain more experience, which I can then pass onto others. I now undertake key holder duties in my current shop. It was a little scary to begin with, but there was plenty of support from the wider region and I feel really proud to now be doing the role.
What knowledge and skills have you gained or developed whilst being in the Lead Volunteer role?
I’ve developed my technology skills – I’ve learnt how to use the till, how to use the computer including emails and Microsoft Teams, how to complete eLearning and the new Gift Aid hub. I struggled a bit before with technology, so it’s really helped me to be exposed to it more. I’ve also developed cash handling skills and how to deal with external contractors. My confidence has really grown and I’m also now able to cover local stores too!
What do you enjoy most about being a Lead Volunteer?
I really enjoy giving amazing customer service and working with the team of staff and volunteers – we have lots of fun whilst we work! The shop has a great atmosphere. My Shop Manager has said she couldn’t do without me! I would really recommend for anyone to come and volunteer with Mind – it’s a great way to meet new people.
Lead Volunteer at our Turnham Green Mind Shop
Why did you want to become a Lead Volunteer?
I wanted to become a Lead Volunteer because I wanted to take on more responsibilities and keep myself as productive as possible. By taking on more responsibilities, I’m able to support the wider team with certain activities within the shop. It’s also helped me become less focused on my myself and my own problems. I suffer from low self-esteem and felt that by becoming a Lead Volunteer, it would help strengthen my self-worth.
What knowledge and skills have you gained or developed whilst being in the Lead Volunteer role?
As I have never worked in retail, becoming a Lead Volunteer has given me more insight into how the retail industry and how Mind Retail operates day-to-day. I have become more patient and not as isolated as before. My communication skills have improved too.
What do you enjoy most about being a Lead Volunteer?
Certain customers are confiding in me about their mental health. I find it great to be able to assist and provide some support. We all just need an ear to listen…
It’s also great to be able to make decisions too. The team I work with at the shop are very supportive and understanding – they look after me and I feel like a belong to a small family. The team really understand that our shops are not just shops! They’re a place where everyone, including those with mental health problems, can feel safe and listened to.
Mind Retail are a network of over 170 Mind charity shops across England and Wales.

Volunteer Charity Management Team Member
Lead the launch of a new London charity. Shape its strategy. Build its impact. Change lives.
London is full of potential — but too many adults from socio‑economically disadvantaged backgrounds never get the chance to realise theirs. Barriers like low confidence, limited networks, lack of guidance and systemic inequality keep talented people locked out of opportunity.

And now, at this defining moment, we’re searching for passionate, committed volunteers to join our Charity Management Team and help our Founder build this organisation from the ground up.
This isn’t just volunteering. It’s your chance to shape the direction, culture and impact of a charity from day one.

Volunteer Management — supporting recruitment, onboarding and community‑building
Partnerships & Outreach — helping build relationships with employers, community groups and supporters
Marketing & Communications — shaping our message, brand and public presence
Fundraising & Development — contributing ideas and support for future sustainability
You don’t need experience in all areas — just the willingness to contribute, collaborate and help build something meaningful.
What You’ll Gain
This is a rare opportunity to gain real leadership experience in the charity sector.
You’ll gain:
Hands‑on experience in charity management and organisational development
The chance to shape a new charity’s strategy, culture and impact
Experience working closely with the Founder
A leadership role that strengthens your CV and future career
The fulfilment of knowing your work directly changes lives

Enjoys collaborating, problem‑solving and building new ideas

Has experience or interest in management, operations, HR, coaching, employability, community work, marketing, fundraising or similar areas
Can give a few hours a week to help shape a charity with huge potential
Believes deeply in empowerment, dignity and inclusion
You don’t need to be an expert — just committed, thoughtful and ready to help build something transformative.
