ABOUT THIS ROLE

Behind every programme we run and every family we support, there is careful administration keeping everything in order. We are looking for a Volunteer Admin Coordinator to be that backbone — someone who takes ownership of the detail, keeps our systems running, and makes sure the rest of the team can focus on delivery.

This is an ideal role for someone who is highly organised, discreet, and takes real pride in getting things right.

Communications & Coordination

• Maintain shared systems and tools so information is easy to find and act on

• Support communication between teams, leadership, and external partners

Governance & Compliance Support

• Help prepare materials for Trustee and leadership meetings

• Support safeguarding admin — DBS checks, consent forms, and record keeping

• Flag gaps in processes and help develop simple, workable solutions

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail

• Reliable, discreet, and trustworthy — able to handle sensitive information with care

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Confident using digital tools and office systems (Microsoft Office, Google Workspace)

• Able to manage their own time and follow tasks through to completion

• A team player who also takes initiative when needed

• Committed to the values and mission of Children With Voices

This is a voluntary role with real responsibility. We need someone reliable and thorough who takes pride in the detail. You will be supporting a team that serves some of Hackney's most vulnerable children and families — and that matters enormously to us

As a Puppy Raiser, you'll provide a 6-8 week-old puppy with the vital foundation for its future role as a guide dog. You'll be looking after a puppy for 12-16 months and will guide him or her through training, socialisation, the introduction of new environments and experiences while providing a loving home.

There might be the odd chewed slipper along the way, but nothing beats the rewarding feeling of loving and raising a puppy who will go on to make an enormous difference to someone living with sight loss.

• Engaging with our world-class training programme to prepare your puppy for the next stages of becoming a guide dog.
• Providing care and support for your puppy at home e.g., loving, grooming and feeding him or her.

• Completing short questionnaires about your puppy’s development.

• A loving home with enough time to invest in raising a puppy and attending to their needs (e.g. toilet training). If you work from home or have hobbies, you'll need to be available to give the puppy regular attention alongside these.
• Someone at home who is physically able to handle large breed dogs (around 25-40kg).
• Access to a car, so that you can get your puppy used to travelling.
• The agreement of your landlord to have a dog in the property if you rent your home. 
• A safe secure area outside for your puppy to go to the toilet.

• The satisfaction of knowing you're supporting people with sight loss to live actively, independently, and well.
• The rewarding feeling of watching a mischievous puppy learn new training techniques to help them develop into a guide dog.
• The opportunity to participate in our bespoke world-class training programme – this can help you train your own dogs or advance a future career in dog handling.
• The opportunity to have a loveable, canine companion, proven to reduce feelings of stress and improve fitness – you’ll be out walking rain or shine!
• The chance to be part of the inspirational Guide Dogs community, meeting like-minded people and interacting with a community of puppy raisers in your area.
• A dedicated volunteer manager and fellow peers who will help support you throughout your role.

s a volunteer you'll have access to our world-class training programme, to implement with your puppy in training, a great bonus for any dog owner! This is delivered in an interactive and engaging manner, using a mixture of different learning techniques virtually e.g., videos, documents and e-learning modules. Examples of the modules you'll have access to include:

• Food manners
• Greeting new visitors
• Being home alone
• Settling in new environments

You'll receive plenty of support from your volunteer manager who will help you work through these training modules with your puppy. We also offer puppy classes for puppy raisers in the local area to get together, share stories and provide refreshers on training techniques. 

Volunteering for Guide Dogs should never leave you out of pocket. We’ll make sure we pay any pre-agreed expenses related to volunteering with us, including veterinary costs, food costs for the puppy and other materials needed for the puppy’s training. We will also pay an optional allowance of up to £100 a year to offset additional costs, and we have working agreements with certain bus and train operating companies, letting you take your puppy on short training journeys free of charge.

HR & VOLUNTEERING DIRECTOR WANTED

BUILD THE CULTURE. GROW THE SQUAD. SHAPE THE MOVEMENT.

URBAN YOUTH is a startup pop‑up youth work charity — raw, energetic, and built from pure passion. We’re creating high‑impact youth experiences that feel more like street culture and a street wear drop, than traditional youth work.

No red tape. No corporate vibes. Just community, creativity, and real opportunities for young people.

Now we need a HR & Volunteering Director who can help us build the backbone of this movement — the people, the systems, the culture, the squad.

This Role Is About People, Purpose, and Building Something From Scratch

Urban Youth is small but mighty. We’re a start-up, and we need someone who can help us turn our volunteer energy into a powerhouse team.

You’ll be the architect of our people strategy — designing how we recruit, onboard, support, and empower the passionate humans who make Urban Youth come alive.

This isn’t HR in a corporate office. This is HR in a startup youth movement. It’s messy, creative, exciting, and full of possibility.

What You’ll Build

You’ll help us create:

• A volunteer recruitment pipeline that attracts talent, passion, and drive

• Onboarding experiences that feel like joining a squad, not filling out forms

• Systems and processes that keep us organised without killing our vibe

• A culture where volunteers feel valued, connected, and part of something bigger

• A community of people who show up because they believe in what we’re doing

You’ll be the person who helps us turn “we need help” into “we’ve built a team.”

Who You Are

1. You’re entrepreneurial.
2. You’re resourceful.
3. You’re the kind of person who can build a structure out of thin air and make it feel solid.
4. You understand people — what motivates them, what inspires them, what keeps them committed.
5. You know how to spot talent, nurture passion, and bring out the best in a team.
6. You’re not scared of starting from zero.
7. You thrive in environments where you get to create the blueprint, not follow one.

If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll build the team to deliver it,” this is your moment.

Why Urban Youth?

1. Because we’re building something bold. Something fresh. Something that doesn’t look like anything else in youth work.
2. We’re a startup charity with big dreams and tiny resources — which means your impact will be huge.
3. You won’t just manage people; you’ll shape the culture, the community, and the future of Urban Youth.
4. You’ll help build the squad that builds the movement.

Ready to shape the team that shapes the future?

1. If you want to lead with heart…
2. If you want to build systems that empower people, not restrict them…
3. If you want to help create a youth movement from the ground up…

Urban Youth needs you.

Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build a community of passionate people who make magic happen.
