Use your expertise to shape education, influence communities, and grow as a leader
Roles available at colleges across E10, London.
Are you a business leader or corporate professional looking to make a meaningful impact outside the boardroom?
By becoming a volunteer governor at a further education (FE) or sixth form college, you’ll help shape the strategic direction of an organisation that transforms lives through education and skills—while strengthening your own governance experience and leadership credentials.
Why it’s relevant to professionals like you
Further education colleges train over 1.6 million learners annually, preparing the skilled workforce that keeps our economy moving—from engineers and IT specialists to healthcare professionals and construction experts.
As a college governor, you’ll sit on the board of an FE institution (and registered charity), where your insight into strategy, risk, people, or finance will have a direct impact on how public funds are spent, how performance is measured, and how learners are supported to succeed.
This is an opportunity to:
Apply your corporate skills in a leadership role
Gain board-level experience and enhance your CV
Contribute to local economic growth and social mobility
Support a vital sector during a time of transformation
What will you be doing?
As part of a governing board, you’ll:
Set strategic direction: help define the college’s mission and goals
Hold leadership to account: monitor finances, performance, and outcomes
Ensure governance excellence: make decisions in the best interests of learners and stakeholders
Act as a charity trustee: ensure financial sustainability and legal compliance
You’ll also engage with senior leaders and external stakeholders, including local employers, regulators, and community partners.
Who are we looking for?
We welcome professionals from a broad range of sectors, including but not limited to:
Finance, Audit & Risk
HR, People & Culture
Strategy, Transformation & Operations
Technology, AI & Digital
Legal, Governance & Compliance

Education, apprenticeships, or vocational courses
What matters most is your strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and commitment to helping others succeed.
Prior education experience is not required. Full induction and training are provided, with access to DfE-funded development and peer mentoring where needed.
Time commitment
Expect to give approximately 1–2 days per month, including:
Attending board and committee meetings (in person or remote)
Reading papers and preparing questions
Participating in training and occasional college visits
The time commitment is manageable alongside a full-time role—and many employers actively support staff to take on governance roles as part of their professional development.
Where you’ll be needed
Some colleges offer remote governance and meetings take place online. This may suit you best, or we may suggest a role where you volunteer on a hybrid basis at a college within a reasonable distance from you. We are recruiting governors for colleges across England, with new opportunities added regularly.

This role offers the opportunity to:
Enhance your board-level and governance experience

Important Eligibility Note:
This is an onsite, self-funded international volunteer and internship placement located in Ghana. This opportunity is open ONLY to international applicants traveling from outside the African continent (including Europe, North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica). Because SFLIG Volunteers operates on a sustainable, grassroots model, participants must fully fund their own experience, including international flights, visa arrangements, and the program fee which covers safe community housing, daily meals, airport pickup, and 24/7 onsite support. Local applications cannot be considered for this international framework.
Ready to step out of your comfort zone, travel with true purpose, and change young lives? Join our close-knit team in beautiful Ghana to inspire eager students, bridge vital educational gaps, and experience an unforgettable cultural immersion.
At SFLIG Volunteers, we don't believe in standard, sterile office jobs—we believe in human connection. In many of our partner communities just outside Accra, local classrooms are overflowing, and passionate teachers are stretched thin. They don't just need an extra pair of hands; they need your unique energy, your background, and your global perspective to help open up the world for their students.
This is your opportunity to break away from the everyday routine, build unmatched international leadership skills, and see the tangible, smiling results of your hard work every single morning.
Your Typical Day in the Classroom
This role is active, vibrant, and highly collaborative. You won’t just be sitting at a desk; you will be an active spark in the school community:
The Co-Pilot: Work hand-in-hand with local headteachers to make core subjects like English conversation, basic Mathematics, and General Sciences come alive through interactive games and discussions.
The Creative Spark: Bring your own hobbies across the globe! Whether you love drawing, music, painting, or sports, you will design and lead engaging workshops that build child confidence and creativity.
The Mentor: Provide crucial, patient one-on-one reading and arithmetic support to bright children who have fallen behind and just need someone to believe in them.
Who You Are
We care far more about your heart, your drive, and your empathy than a piece of paper. You are the perfect fit if:
You have a deep-seated desire to travel, explore new cultures respectfully, and give back to grassroots communities.
You are patient, highly adaptable, and ready to embrace a vibrant, slow-paced, and welcoming new environment.
No formal teaching qualifications or TEFL certificates are required. We provide all the training and tools; you just need to bring the enthusiasm!
The SFLIG Volunteers Experience: What's Included
We treat our international volunteers like family from the moment they apply:
Total Support Network: From your comprehensive pre-departure prep to airport pickup and local orientation, our dedicated team guides you every step of the way.
The Perfect Work-Life Balance: Your projects run Monday through Friday, giving you long weekends to explore Ghana’s beautiful coastal beaches, historic forts, and bustling local markets with your fellow volunteers.
True 'Akwaaba' Hospitality: Live and work safely embedded within an authentic Ghanaian community, building lifelong global friendships.
Cultural Experience & Weekend Tours
Volunteering with SFLIG is a full cultural immersion. Beyond your hours at your placement, you will experience the famous warmth and hospitality of Ghana through local language lessons, traditional cooking sessions, and community gatherings.
On the weekends, you will have the opportunity to join coordinated group excursions to explore Ghana's rich history and breathtaking landscapes. Depending on your placement region, weekend tours can include:
Walking the canopy bridges at Kakum National Park.
Exploring the historic Cape Coast and Elmina Castles.
Visiting the vibrant cultural markets of Kumasi.
Relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the coastal region.
Program Flexibility & Hours
Flexible Start Dates: This is an all-year-round opportunity. Volunteers and interns select their own arrival and departure dates to align with their personal, professional, or academic schedules.
Customizable Schedules: You have the flexibility to determine your daily school/center shift lengths and the total number of hours you wish to commit each day, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the local culture.
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with SFLIG Volunteers in Ghana.
Please note that this is an onsite, self-funded international volunteer programme. Volunteers are responsible for their programme fee, international flights, visa, travel insurance and any personal expenses.
We are looking for enthusiastic, caring and adaptable individuals who are passionate about supporting children's education and are willing to immerse themselves in Ghanaian culture.
Please answer all screening questions carefully. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted with further information about the programme and next steps.

Who are Governors for Schools?
Governors for Schools operates across England and Wales to improve educational standards and ensure all children and young people have the chance to realise their full potential.
We believe the key to improving school performance is effective governance. By finding, nurturing and supporting a committed network of governors, we drive positive systematic change that benefits each and every student, regardless of their background.
Governors for Schools recruits and matches volunteers with school governing boards and provides ongoing support.
What’s involved?
There are governor vacancies across England and Wales. Some schools are also looking for remote governors who don't need to live near the school they support.
Governors volunteer at board level to set the strategic vision for their school. This involves constructively challenging current processes, using your unique skills to support senior leaders, and overseeing school finances. You’ll be involved in areas such as monitoring, budget management, and data analysis. As well as putting your expertise to good use, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your professional skills. Ultimately, you’ll work towards facilitating the delivery of a broad and exciting curriculum and oversee wellbeing and inclusion initiatives. Governance represents a fantastic opportunity to develop yourself while making a real impact on the education of children and young people.
Governors work collaboratively with the headteacher and other members of the board, including parents and school staff. In most schools, full board meetings are held termly, as are committee meetings. Many governors will sit on a committee linked to their expertise or interests, such as teaching and learning or finance and resources. In addition to attending meetings, governors will need to read the papers in advance, complete training courses, and occasionally visit their school.
Governors usually support schools for a period of four years and with an estimated time commitment of 7 hours per month. During these hours, you will attend meetings, read papers, attend training sessions, and make occasional visits to school.
Who can be a governor?
The most important part of being a governor is the ability to ask questions, provide support and have the best interests of the school at heart. You don't have to be a parent or have experience in education to become a governor. Schools seek a wide range of skills to support the board, including finance, HR, and data analysis.
Boards also need governors with a diversity of backgrounds and lived experiences to ensure a range of perspectives are considered during board meetings.
Schools welcome professional experience, as well as community insight and experience of working collaboratively.
You need to be aged 18 or above and there are certain criminal convictions that would exclude you from the role. A Disclosure and Barring Service check will be carried out by the school.
What’s the process?
You can find out more about the school governor role by attending one of our recruitment webinars.
You can complete your online profile on the website, including your motivation to take on the role, your skills and your school preferences. Your regional Partnership Manager will then look at vacancies that match your requirements. Once a school is identified, you will have the opportunity to discuss the role with them in more detail, visit the school, and observe a meeting. If appointed, a DBS check will take place and, in some cases, the school will seek references.
Ongoing support
Governors for Schools isn’t just a matching service. We want to help you thrive in your role through bespoke and ongoing support. We provide eLearning and monthly webinars covering a variety of topics to increase your knowledge of the education sector and governance. You’ll also have access to The Key for School Governors, an information hub designed to show new governors the ropes and offer a useful point of reference for existing governors.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Second Life
We partner with communities to collect, trace, and recycle plastic, creating jobs and preventing pollution.
We're looking for a Business Development Associate to drive the next chapter of Second Life's growth.
As demand for credible, traceable plastic action accelerates, driven by Extended Producer Responsibility regulation, voluntary ESG commitments, and consumer expectations, companies are actively seeking partners like us. Your job is to find them, qualify them, and walk them through to signed partnerships.
You'll own the full commercial cycle: identifying corporate prospects (cosmetics, FMCG, food & beverage, retail, travel), running outreach and discovery, designing the right project proposal with the help of our CEO, negotiating commercial terms, and closing.
This is a high-autonomy role for someone who genuinely cares about environmental impact and knows how to translate that into a commercial conversation.
What you'll do:
- Build and manage a qualified pipeline of corporate partners across target sectors and geographies (Europe, North America, APAC)
- Run outbound outreach via LinkedIn, email, warm introductions, and partner referrals to sustainability, procurement, packaging, and CSR leaders.
- Lead discovery calls and partner workshops; understand each company's plastic footprint, regulatory exposure, and sustainability strategy.
- Work with our operations and technical team to scope tailored projects: collection volumes, geographies, traceability requirements, co-branding opportunities.
- Build commercial proposals, and contracts
- Stay sharp on the competitive landscape: plastic credits standards (Verra, others), EPR regulation in key markets, and emerging buyer expectations.
Why join us
- Sell something with real, verifiable impact: every contract translates directly into plastic removed and livelihoods supported
- Work with global brands and meet the sustainability decision-makers shaping the next decade of corporate climate action.

Volunteer - Executive Director – SUNSHINE Charity
Be the founding force behind a movement bringing human connection, joy and belonging across London
About SUNSHINE Charity
Loneliness is one of the most painful and invisible challenges facing people across London. It steals confidence, hope, and connection — and it affects people of every age, background and story.
SUNSHINE Charity is a tiny start‑up with a huge heart. We exist to bring joy, human connection, belonging and ‘sunshine’ into people’s lives. We believe that even the smallest act of kindness can change someone’s world.
We are at the very beginning of our journey. No funding yet. No big team. Just passion, purpose, and a vision to build a charity that lights up London — and later, beyond.
If you’ve ever wanted to build something meaningful from scratch, this is your moment.
The Role: Executive Director (Volunteer)
This is not a typical leadership role. This is founding a charity. This is building a movement. This is creating hope where it’s needed most.
As our Volunteer Executive Director, you will:
Shape the charity’s vision, culture and identity from day one.
Build our first programmes to reduce loneliness and increase belonging.
Recruit and inspire volunteers who share our mission.
Forge partnerships across London.
Lead early fundraising efforts — including the possibility of fundraising for your own future paid role.
Bring creativity, courage and heart to every decision.
Help turn a small idea into a city‑wide force for good.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in start‑up environments, loves building from the ground up, and wants to lead with compassion and purpose.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone who is:
Deeply passionate about tackling loneliness.
A natural connector who radiates warmth, positivity and hope.
Excited by the challenge of building a charity with no current funding.
Entrepreneurial, imaginative and resilient.
Comfortable leading, creating and problem‑solving.
Motivated by impact, not titles.
Ready to bring sunshine into people’s lives.
You don’t need previous Executive Director or CEO experience. You just need heart, drive, and the courage to lead something new.
Why This Role Matters
This is your chance to:
Lead a charity from its very first steps.
Create programmes that genuinely transform lives.
Build a legacy of connection, kindness and belonging.
Shape a movement that will grow far beyond London.
Be part of something human, heartfelt and extraordinary.
Ready to Build Something Beautiful?
If your heart is pulling you toward this role — we want to hear from you.
Join us, and help bring sunshine into the lives of people who need it most.
SUNSHINE is a small grassroots charity that works to reduce loneliness & help people feel more connected: through projects, partnerships & community
