Working closely with our Chief Executive and fellow trustees, you will help shape our strategic direction, strengthen our governance, and champion our mission to ensure every young person has the opportunity to thrive.

About Us

At Gorse Hill Studios, we believe all young people deserve social, emotional, educational and cultural investment in their future.

For over a decade, we have supported young people aged 8 to 25 through a unique combination of arts, youth work and creative learning. Our work focuses on inclusion, disability, youth voice, alternative education and creative engagement, helping young people build confidence, resilience and meaningful pathways into adulthood.

Through our programmes, we empower young people to discover their potential, strengthen their communities and achieve aspirations they may never have thought possible.

The Opportunity

As Chair of Trustees, you will provide leadership to our Board and help ensure GHSCC remains focused on achieving its charitable objectives while operating to the highest standards of governance.

You will act as a trusted partner to our Chief Executive, providing support, challenge and strategic oversight while maintaining the appropriate distinction between governance and operational management.

This role provides a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of children and young people while contributing your leadership skills to a values-driven organisation at an exciting stage of its development.

• Ensure risks are appropriately identified and managed.
• Champion GHSCC's mission, values and reputation across the sector and wider community.
• Encourage robust discussion, constructive challenge and effective decision-making.
• Lead Board meetings and the Annual General Meeting.

We would particularly welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate:

• Senior leadership or board-level experience.
• Strategic thinking and sound judgement.
• The ability to inspire, influence and build consensus.
• A commitment to improving outcomes for children and young people.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• An understanding of good governance and organisational accountability.
• Experience of leading meetings and facilitating effective group decision-making.

Previous Chair experience is desirable but not essential. We are equally interested in hearing from candidates with strong leadership experience who are ready to take on their first Chair role.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would be advantageous:

• Charity leadership and governance
• Fundraising and income generation
• Marketing and communications
• Education and alternative provision
• Finance or risk management
• Legal or HR expertise
• Public sector or community engagement

Time Commitment

The Board currently meets four times per year in person at Gorse Hill, Trafford.

In addition, the Chair is expected to:

• Meet regularly with the Chief Executive.
• Attend occasional committee meetings and key events.
• Support trustee recruitment and board development activities.
• Act as an ambassador for the charity when appropriate.

We estimate an average commitment of approximately 1 to 2 days per month.

This is a voluntary unpaid role, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.

Our Commitment to Diversity

We are committed to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.

We actively encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those who bring lived experience, perspectives and voices that are currently underrepresented in charity governance. We celebrate the richness of our differences, including social class, ethnicity, disability, gender, sexual orientation, faith and age.

About us: 

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C is a pioneering Podcast/YouTube Channel and healing membership organisation. We provide a platform for survivors and whistleblowers to share their lived experiences, highlight systemic frustrations and offer solutions rooted in culturally trauma-informed care.

Our membership offers young people and survivors a path to heal, learn digital skills and interactively participate in our Alchemic 369 Book Club, where members engage in weekly interactive discussions, debates and critical analysis of African, Caribbean and world history, Ifa, classics and political thought. Members will sharpen their reading, reasoning and imagination skills, with opportunities to discuss works directly with authors, highly subsidised plant-based transformative retreats and join a community designed to empower and educate.

We are a mission-driven, collective-focused C.I.C building a movement that combines healing, re-education and empowerment.

Our content focuses on:

• Survivors of CSA, RSA, CT, CA stories

• Whistleblowers and retired experts

• Generational trauma and healing

• Youth empowerment and education

• Community transformation through honest storytelling

Our mission is to challenge generational cycles, expose hidden truths, fight for justice and create a platform rooted in authenticity, deep healing, and transformation.

Job Purpose:

To actively identify, locate, and surface potential real-world stories, individuals, and lived experiences that align with the organisation’s mission, ensuring a continuous pipeline of high-quality, relevant story leads for the Story Intelligence Team.

This role exists to function as the organisation’s primary “frontline discovery engine,” scanning a wide range of public sources—including media platforms, social networks, interviews, documentaries, podcasts, books, advocacy spaces, and community forums—to uncover individuals who have either publicly shared their experiences or are visibly positioned within ongoing social, cultural, or institutional narratives.

The Research Story Scout is responsible for recognising not just individual stories, but also broader story ecosystems, including repeated patterns of lived experience, underrepresented voices, emerging testimonies, and whistleblower disclosures that may not yet have been formally documented or widely circulated.

A key purpose of this role is to convert scattered public information into structured, actionable story leads that can be passed efficiently to the Outreach Team for ethical and appropriate engagement.

The role also ensures that potential stories are identified early, before they become widely saturated or lost in mainstream attention cycles, enabling the organisation to engage responsibly, respectfully, and at the right stage of the individual’s willingness to share.

Ultimately, this role ensures the organisation maintains a consistent flow of credible, relevant, and timely story opportunities by continuously scanning the public landscape and translating discovery into structured, usable intelligence for outreach and engagement.

About the role:

Story Scouts spend their time locating individuals who have publicly shared their experiences or indicated a willingness to discuss their story.

Sources may include:

• Podcasts

• YouTube interviews

• Social media platforms

• Survivor groups

• Charity websites

• News reports

• Books

• Blogs

• Conferences

• Public speaking events

Once identified, the scout prepares a short lead profile and passes it to outreach for them to make contact, sign consent forms and safeguarding checks, schedule call with guest and host hand over to host. (PPTeam).

Ideal Candidate

• Extremely resourceful.

• Strong online research skills.

• Curious and persistent.

• Enjoys finding information.

• Comfortable working independently.

Experience Required

• Internet research.

• Community management.

• Journalism.

• Talent sourcing.

• Recruitment sourcing.

• Social media research.

What You Will Gain

• Real-world hosting and interviewing experience

• Opportunity to build a public profile and media presence

• Portfolio-building opportunities across podcasting and storytelling

• Networking and relationship-building opportunities

• Experience working within a growing media and advocacy platform

• Creative freedom and personal growth opportunities

• Leadership and media mentorship

• Opportunity to develop your own audience and storytelling identity

• Potential future paid opportunities and long-term media career pathways

• Direct pathway into a future paid role

• The chance to help build a nationally recognised media and survivor-support platform

• COS opportunities for top performing staff members 

This role is designed as a long-term pathway opportunity to a paid position and lifestyle transformation.

We don’t operate on individualism—we build through collectivism, meaning:
  As the platform grows, your role, influence, and opportunities grow with it

Additional Notes

This role is not suitable if you:

• Prefer low-responsibility volunteer work

• Avoid handling sensitive data or detailed reporting

• Are seeking immediate paid employment

• Are uncomfortable applying analysis to strategic decisions

To Apply

Please send:

• Your CV, portfolio, or LinkedIn profile (if available)

• A short introduction about yourself

• Why this mission resonates with you

• Any relevant experience, skills, ideas, or vision you would bring to the role

About The Abundant Woman

The Abundant Woman is a women-focused community organisation creating spaces, programmes and experiences that support women in navigating their lives with greater awareness, confidence and support.

Our work spans women’s wellbeing, health education, community building, events, workshops and partnerships. As the organisation continues to grow, we are strengthening our operational infrastructure to ensure our programmes, people and projects are effectively coordinated and delivered.

About the Role

We are looking for an organised, proactive and solutions-focused Operations Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day operational coordination of The Abundant Woman.

Working closely with the Founder & CEO, you will help turn organisational priorities into action, ensuring projects move forward, responsibilities are clear, deadlines are followed and the wider team has the structure and support needed to deliver effectively.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is comfortable taking initiative, coordinating people and projects, improving systems and bringing structure to a growing organisation.

While initially offered on a voluntary basis, there is potential for the position to develop into a paid role as the organisation grows and secures additional funding.

Key Responsibilities

Operations & Organisational Coordination

• Oversee and coordinate the day-to-day operational activities of the organisation.

• Work closely with the Founder & CEO to translate priorities and ideas into clear actions and deliverables.

• Maintain oversight of organisational tasks, deadlines and operational priorities.

• Ensure agreed actions are followed through and proactively identify areas requiring attention.

• Develop and maintain effective operational systems, processes and documentation.

• Identify opportunities to streamline workflows and improve organisational efficiency.

Project & Programme Coordination

• Coordinate operational delivery across projects, programmes, events and organisational initiatives.

• Maintain project plans, timelines, trackers and action logs.

• Monitor progress against agreed milestones and follow up with team members where required.

• Identify potential delays, risks or operational challenges and escalate these appropriately.

• Support the planning and delivery of events, workshops and community initiatives.

• Coordinate logistics, resources and operational requirements for activities.

Team Coordination

• Act as a central operational point of contact for team members and volunteers.

• Help ensure responsibilities, deadlines and expectations are clearly communicated.

• Coordinate across different functions including projects, partnerships, marketing, HR and administration.

• Support effective onboarding and integration of new volunteers and team members.

• Help create a positive, organised and accountable working environment.

• Facilitate effective communication and collaboration across the team.

Administration & Governance

• Maintain accurate organisational records, documents and internal systems.

• Coordinate meetings, including agendas, action points and follow-ups.

• Support the maintenance of policies, procedures and operational documentation.

• Assist with governance, compliance and reporting requirements where appropriate.

• Ensure confidential and sensitive information is handled appropriately.

Partnerships & External Coordination

• Liaise professionally with external partners, venues, suppliers and stakeholders.

• Support the operational delivery of partnerships and collaborative projects.

• Ensure external commitments and agreed actions are appropriately tracked and followed through.

Skills & Experience

We are particularly interested in someone who has:

• Previous experience in operations, project management, programme coordination, administration or a similar role.

• Strong organisational and project coordination skills.

• The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines simultaneously.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Confidence working independently and taking ownership of responsibilities.

• Strong attention to detail and a structured approach to work.

• The ability to identify problems and propose practical solutions.

• Experience coordinating people, projects or volunteers.

• Confidence using Google Workspace, Microsoft Office and digital collaboration/project management tools.

• The ability to work effectively within a growing organisation where priorities may evolve.

Experience within a CIC, charity, nonprofit, community organisation, women’s organisation or start-up environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

Who This Role Would Suit

This opportunity would suit someone who enjoys creating structure, keeping projects moving and making sure that things actually get done.

You may be an experienced Operations Coordinator or Project Coordinator looking to step into management, an Operations Manager wanting to contribute your skills to a purpose-led organisation, or someone looking to build further experience within the nonprofit and community sector.

You should be comfortable working with autonomy rather than waiting to be given instructions for every task.

What You’ll Gain

• The opportunity to take meaningful ownership within a growing women-focused organisation.

• Direct experience working alongside the Founder & CEO.

• Exposure to organisational strategy, programme delivery, partnerships, events and community initiatives.

• The opportunity to shape and improve operational systems as the organisation develops.

• Experience coordinating a multidisciplinary team of staff and volunteers.

• Flexible working arrangements around other commitments.

• Professional development, mentorship and opportunities to expand your leadership experience.

• Potential progression into a paid position as funding and organisational capacity grow.

Additional Information

This position is initially offered on a voluntary basis and requires approximately 16–20 hours per week, with flexibility around how those hours are structured.

We are looking for someone who can make a meaningful and consistent commitment to the organisation and who is excited about contributing to its next stage of growth.

As The Abundant Woman expands its programmes, partnerships and funding, our intention is to continue developing our operational team and create paid opportunities where organisational resources allow.
