External Trustee (Voluntary Role)
The Guild is looking for a professional to join our Trustee Board as an External Trustee. The Trustee Board is ultimately responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Guild. Our Trustees must ensure that the Guild is well run and delivers the objectives for which it has been set up.
It is an exciting time for the Guild as we progress with our 2022-2027 strategic plan and continue to deliver excellent services for our students. A strong and active Trustee Board is essential to support and guide the organisation’s work.
We would encourage candidates with current or previous experience in a membership organisation; however, this is not necessarily a requirement. We would be particularly interested to hear from individuals with a background in Student Unions or the Charity sector; previous experience as a Students’ Union Officer would be advantageous, but these are not essential.
The Guild welcomes applications from a wide range of backgrounds that are reflective of the full diversity of Birmingham’s community and the West Midlands, and in particular we welcome applications from people of colour as we seek to continually increase diversity within our governance structures.
The post of External Trustee is appointed for a period of three years, which can be extended for a second term up to a maximum of six years. This role is not remunerated; however reasonable expenses (travel/accommodation etc) will be reimbursed.

Lead a Movement. Shape a Legacy. Become the Volunteer CEO of Unlock YOUR Potential
Take the helm of a new social‑mobility charity determined to break barriers and transform futures
At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We exist to challenge the structural inequalities that hold people back — and to create pathways to employment, wellbeing and opportunity for adults living in the UK’s most deprived communities.
We are building a charity with a bold mission: to unlock the potential of people who have talent, ambition and drive — but face the highest barriers to opportunity.
Our work is focused in areas ranked among the top 10% most deprived nationally for employment and skills. The need is urgent. The stakes are high. And the opportunity to create lasting change is extraordinary.
Now we are looking for a leader who can help turn this vision into reality.
Volunteer CEO (Founding Leadership Role)
Steer a new charity from concept to impact
This is a rare and remarkable opportunity to become the founding Volunteer CEO of a start‑up social‑mobility charity at the most pivotal moment in its creation.
You will work closely with the Founder to shape the organisation’s direction, culture, strategy and early operations — and play a defining role in building a charity designed to transform thousands of lives.
This is not a ceremonial title. This is hands‑on, mission‑critical leadership.
As our Volunteer CEO, you will:
-
Provide strategic leadership and direction as we move from start‑up to launch
-
Work with the Founder to define our vision, values, priorities and long‑term roadmap
-
Oversee the development of early operational structures, governance and systems
-
Lead and inspire a growing volunteer team across design, operations and service development
-
Drive forward key decisions that shape our programmes, partnerships and impact
-
Champion our mission publicly and help build credibility, trust and momentum
-
Ensure we stay focused, organised and aligned as we prepare to launch our services
-
Play a central role in recruiting the wider volunteer team that will deliver our work
Your leadership will directly influence how quickly and effectively we can begin supporting adults who face the highest barriers to employment and skills.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
An experienced leader with a background in strategy, operations, organisational development or charity leadership
-
Someone who can bring clarity, structure and direction to a fast‑moving start‑up environment
-
A visionary thinker who can also roll up their sleeves and get things done
-
A collaborator who enjoys building something from the ground up
-
Deeply committed to social mobility, fairness and expanding opportunity
-
Able to commit time over the next few weeks/months to help us reach launch
This is a short‑term, high‑impact volunteer role — but if you wish to continue with us after launch, that option is open.
Why this role matters
This is your chance to lead a charity at the moment of its birth. To shape its identity, its strategy, its culture and its future. To build something that will outlast all of us — and change lives for years to come.
- If you believe in a fairer society…
- If you want to use your leadership to create real, measurable impact…
- If you want to help build a movement that unlocks potential where it’s needed most…
We would be honoured to hear from you.

We are looking for a Communications Officer who can strategically identify and post engaging content for our social media feeds and other communication channels, which will inspire people to support our work with refugees and asylum seekers in Epirus. You are the person who thinks “this would make a good post”, while activities are taking place. More than that, your interest and belief in digital communications as a force for good should be backed with an interest in data and analytics, using them to influence our overall communication strategy.
Your role would include:
-
Interacting with our digital communities to increase engagement, followers and the quality of user experience.
-
Identifying key influencers and conversations that we should engage in to better showcase our work and expand our reach.
-
Managing our other channels of communication, including newsletters, donor engagement, website and press service.
You should be able to:
-
Manage communication channels in a professional capacity
-
Create and deliver communication strategies for specific programmes and campaigns
-
Produce regular data reports using Facebook Insights, LinkedIn Analytics, Google Analytics or similar tools, analysing data and adapt strategies accordingly
-
Keep up-to-date with the latest trends/developments in digital communications
-
Identify key influential external figures and agencies to further our reach and impact
The ideal candidate will have:
-
Experience working in a refugee context or with a vulnerable population
-
Experience working in an NGO, Charity or in the field of human rights
What do we offer?
-
A nurturing and collaborative working environment. We work hard to help our team members grow; investing in personal and professional development.
-
Accommodation in a shared house
-
Transportation to/from work
-
After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, a small monthly expenses refund
In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Have experience leading a team of this type?
Consider applying to become a Communications Coordinator. Whether your experience lies in the humanitarian sector or elsewhere, we are looking for people with expertise that can drive us forward as an organisation.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.
NOTE: If you require a visa to stay in Greece for the minimum ten-week commitment, please know that as a Greek NGO, we are unable to sponsor your visa.
We challenge the biases that make us see refugees as “the other”. We change the way society perceives refugees, and refugees perceive society.

If you care about equity in the arts, believe creative talent should thrive in Bradford, and want to play a part in shaping cultural change locally and nationally, we’d love to hear from you.
Bradford Producing Hub is an artist-led charity working to dismantle barriers in the arts and build more equitable systems in their place. Our vision is a just and joyful cultural future – powered by people, rooted in place, and open to all.
We support artists and creatives through development programmes, sector advocacy and strategic partnerships. We work locally in Bradford and influence nationally.
Who we’re looking for
We’re particularly interested in people with experience in:
- Chairing, or an interest in developing into a future Chair role
- Arts and cultural leadership
- Being an independent artist or creative practitioner
- Charity finance and accountancy
- Fundraising and charitable giving
- HR or legal practice

If you don’t have the specific experience listed above, but your values and outlook closely align with the work of Bradford Producing Hub, we’re very much interested in hearing from you.
We are also actively seeking voices that represent the Bradford district, and we particularly welcome applications from people from the Global Majority*, including Black, Asian and ethnically diverse communities who are underrepresented in arts leadership and governance. We equally welcome applications from people who are LGBTQIA+, disabled**, and/or from working-class or low socio-economic backgrounds.
We are committed not only to diversifying representation, but to ensuring trustees feel valued, heard and able to shape decisions meaningfully. BPH is radical, kind, equity-driven and community-spirited. We are committed to anti-racist and anti-ableist practice, recognising that structural racism and ableism continue to shape the arts sector. We are actively working to challenge this within our governance and partnerships, and we expect trustees to share that commitment.
We know that joining a board can feel daunting, particularly where governance spaces have not always felt welcoming. We are committed to providing induction, support and space for all trustees to contribute confidently and meaningfully.
If you have ever looked at arts leadership and felt it did not reflect you, this is an invitation to help change that.
What does being a trustee involve?
Trustees shape our long-term strategy, influence cultural policy, and hold the organisation to account in line with our charitable aims.
You don’t need previous board experience. Collective leadership at BPH is built on shared responsibility, openness and learning together. We provide induction and ongoing development and training.
Commitment includes:
- Around four board meetings per year
- Preparation and reading in advance
- Occasional additional support or sub-group involvement
While the role is unpaid, we cover expenses and provide a role that offers valuable non-executive directorial experience, which includes:
- Professional skills development contributing to career enhancement
- Personal fulfilment through volunteering your time and expertise to an organisation you value, supporting it to realise its goals
- Expanding your professional network while working with like-minded people to support the creative and cultural sector in Bradford
