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.

Unlock YOUR Potential is here to break those barriers.

We are building a new charity dedicated to careers coaching, employability skills, personal development, wellness, life coaching, mentoring and more — all designed to help adults transform their futures.

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.

Why This Role Matters

We are at the very beginning of our journey — and the decisions we make now will define the charity for years to come.

As a member of our Volunteer Charity Management Team, you will help:

• Shape strategy, operations, programmes and culture

• Support the Founder in key decisions and organisational development

• Programme Development — helping design coaching, employability and personal development programmes

• 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

This is the kind of experience that builds confidence, skills and future opportunities — while helping others do the same.

Who You Are

You’re someone who:

• Is passionate about social impact, equality and opportunity

• Enjoys collaborating, problem‑solving and building new ideas

• Is proactive, organised and excited by the challenge of starting something new

• 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.

Your Impact

Your contribution will help create:

• A strong, values‑driven charity with solid foundations

• Programmes that help adults gain confidence, skills and direction

• A supportive volunteer community

• A culture rooted in empowerment, inclusion and personal growth

• A long‑lasting organisation capable of delivering life‑changing support

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Oversight: Developing and managing the legal department’s roadmap to support Quilombo UK’s social justice initiatives.

• Team Supervision: Overseeing the work of legal graduates, many of whom are working towards their LLM (Master of Laws), ensuring their contributions are technically sound and ethically grounded.

• Departmental Leadership: Coaching the legal team to maintain 100% project visibility and ensuring all work meets the rigorous standards required for future SRA accreditation.

• Social Justice Advocacy: Managing caseloads and research projects that tackle systemic inequalities and discrimination within the community.

• Operational Control: Maintaining 100% visibility of all legal tasks via project management tools and providing weekly reports to Directors on risks, progress, and Work in Progress (WIP).

Additional Professional Benefits

• Career Development: A full CV and profile review conducted by our Talent Acquisition and Learning & Development teams.

• Operational Support: Access to the services of the Legal, Graphic Design, PR, and Production teams for up to 10 hours per month for professional or departmental support.

• Proactive Recruitment: Use of the Talent Acquisition team to actively search out new roles and opportunities via industry portals and LinkedIn.

• 10% Business Development: An additional commission if new work or clients are brought into the organisation independently by the Ops Mgr.

Requirements

• Experience in a supervisory or management role, ideally overseeing paralegals or junior legal researchers.

• A clear understanding of the SRA regulatory framework and the requirements for Qualifying Work Experience (QWE).
