About us

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:

• Supporting our members and creating community: We support financial services professionals, nurturing diversity, innovation and professional excellence. We believe that working with the financial services industry is crucial for building financial capability.
• Sharing insights and best practice: We produce research and thought leadership in financial capability and through our think-tank, the Centre for the Study of Financial Innovation. We believe that change requires evidence and innovative thought.
• Building financial capability: We work directly and through sponsorship and partnerships to reach individuals across the UK, empowering them with the skills they need to become financially capable. We believe everyone should have an opportunity to be financially capable.

As a small charity, there will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings.

VOLUNTEER ROLE: Volunteer Coordinator / Head of Volunteering

The Lyonic Scots Clan Society

Remote | UK‑based applicants only

The Lyonic Scots Clan Society is a modern Scottish cultural organisation inspired by the legacy of Robert “The Lyon” and the survivors of Culloden. We celebrate Scottish heritage, Highland identity, and the enduring spirit of courage, kinship, and belonging.

As our community continues to grow across the UK and internationally, we are seeking a Volunteer Coordinator / Head of Volunteering to help build, support, and guide our volunteer team.

This is a key leadership role — perfect for someone who values heritage, community, and helping people feel part of something meaningful.

About the Role

The Volunteer Coordinator / Head of Volunteering will lead the development of our volunteer programme, ensuring that every volunteer feels welcomed, supported, and connected to the mission of the Society.

You will work closely with the Chair, Secretary, and Committee to recruit volunteers, match them to suitable roles, and help create a warm, organised, and engaging volunteer culture.

This role is fully remote, but you must be based in the UK for safeguarding, governance, and coordination purposes.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will:

• Lead the development of the Society’s volunteer programme

• Recruit, onboard, and support new volunteers

• Match volunteers to roles based on skills and interests

• Maintain simple volunteer records and communication channels

• Help create a positive, inclusive volunteer culture

• Support volunteers with questions, guidance, and encouragement

• Work with the Committee to identify new volunteer needs

• Help ensure volunteers feel valued, appreciated, and part of the clan community

• Assist with volunteer engagement for events, heritage projects, and campaigns

(Responsibilities can be shaped around your strengths and availability.)

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Are UK‑based

• Enjoy working with people and helping them thrive

• Are organised, reliable, and good at communication

• Can build simple systems for volunteer coordination

• Care about Scottish culture, heritage, and community identity

• Want to contribute your time and skills to a meaningful cultural organisation

• Have experience in any of the following (helpful but not required):

  • Volunteer management

  • HR or people support

  • Community organising

  • Administration

  • Charity or cultural work

You do not need to be Scottish — only committed to community, heritage, and good people‑care.

What You’ll Gain

• A leadership role within a growing cultural organisation

• Experience in volunteer management and community building

• A chance to support Scottish heritage and identity

• Flexible volunteering you can fit around your life

• A warm, respectful team who value your contribution

Help Build the Heart of the Clan

If you’re ready to help shape a welcoming, supportive volunteer community at the centre of a living Scottish cultural movement, we would be honoured to hear from you.

Apply now through CharityJob and become part of the Lyonic Scots Clan Society.
