ADMIN MANAGER & COMPANY SECRETARY (VOLUNTEER ROLE)
SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever
Do you remember lockdown?
- The stillness.
- The uncertainty.
- The feeling of being cut off from the world.
- The long days where connection felt far away.
Now imagine living like that every single day — not because of a pandemic, but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s whole life.
At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that be anyone’s reality. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.
We’re here to bring back joy, connection and human warmth — and we need someone organised, steady and compassionate to help keep our young charity running smoothly behind the scenes.
Who We Are
SUNSHINE is a brand‑new, grassroots, 100% volunteer‑powered charity on a mission to brighten the lives of people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We’re small, passionate, and building something hopeful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our mission is already alive, growing and ready to shine.
Now we need someone who can help us stay organised, compliant and confident as we grow.
Your Role: Admin Manager & Company Secretary
This is a vital role at the heart of our charity’s operations.
You will be the person who keeps us organised, compliant and functioning — the calm, reliable presence who ensures SUNSHINE runs smoothly as we build our services, our team and our impact.
You will:
-
Manage our core administration, ensuring documents, records and processes are kept up to date
-
Support the Board and CEO, helping prepare agendas, minutes and paperwork
-
Ensure good governance, keeping us aligned with legal and regulatory requirements
-
Maintain key policies, updating them as we grow
-
Oversee filing systems, digital organisation and internal communications
-
Support volunteer onboarding admin, helping us stay structured and efficient
-
Be the organisational backbone, helping SUNSHINE stay steady, safe and well‑run
Your work will help us build a charity that people can trust — one that is safe, organised and ready to support those who need us most.
Who You Are
- You’re someone who loves order, clarity and good organisation.
- You’re reliable, detail‑focused and calm under pressure.
- You care deeply about people and want to use your skills to make a real difference.
- Maybe you’ve worked in admin, office management, governance, compliance or PA roles.
- Maybe you’ve supported Boards or senior leaders before.
- Maybe you’re simply brilliant at keeping things running smoothly.
What matters most is your heart, your steadiness, and your belief that loneliness should never be a life sentence.
Why Join Us Now?
Because this is the moment everything begins.
You won’t just be joining a charity — you’ll be helping to build it. Your organisation will shape our foundations. Your attention to detail will shape our safety. Your presence will help us bring sunshine into lives that have been dark for far too long.
If you want to be part of something hopeful, human and life‑changing, this is your moment.
