We’re looking for a reliable and organised volunteer to become a key part of Coempowered as we grow, helping us coordinate our people, programmes and day-to-day work.
Coempowered is a small education charity creating spaces for philosophical inquiry, critical thinking and meaningful dialogue. We work mainly with children, young people and young adults, including Persian-speaking communities from Afghanistan and Iran, with Kurdish-language provision also developing.
As our programmes and volunteer team grow, we need someone who can help connect the different parts of the organisation and make sure plans turn into action. You will work closely with the Executive Lead and gradually take greater ownership of day-to-day coordination.
What you’ll do
You will help:
- coordinate volunteers across education, communications, fundraising, programme administration and other areas
- keep track of agreed actions, priorities and deadlines, and follow up where needed
- organise volunteer onboarding, meetings, check-ins and activity reporting
- support the coordination of educational programmes and organisational projects
- maintain simple trackers, calendars and shared records
- help information move effectively between different people and areas of work
- identify delays, gaps and practical problems early
- prepare short progress updates and keep outstanding actions visible
- improve simple coordination processes as the organisation develops.
You will start with clear, manageable responsibilities and learn how Coempowered works. As your knowledge and confidence develop, there will be scope to take greater ownership and help shape our coordination systems.
Who we’re looking for
Reliability is the most important quality. We need someone who follows through on commitments, communicates clearly and is comfortable politely chasing people when necessary.
You should be:
- organised and able to manage several priorities
- a clear and respectful communicator
- comfortable working independently and taking initiative
- able to recognise when something needs to be raised or discussed
- confident using shared documents, spreadsheets, calendars and online tools
- collaborative and comfortable working with people from different backgrounds
- committed to confidentiality, safeguarding and responsible handling of information.
Experience in project coordination, operations, administration, volunteer management, charities, education or community organisations would be useful, but we are equally interested in strong transferable skills.
Why the role matters
Much of our coordination currently depends on a small number of people who are also responsible for developing and delivering our educational work. Your contribution will help change that.
By keeping volunteers connected and activities on track, you will free our educational team to spend more time on teaching, programme development and supporting participants. You will also help us build more reliable ways of working as Coempowered develops.
Ultimately, better coordination means we can provide more consistent, sustained and high-quality educational opportunities to the communities we work with.
Practical details
The role is fully remote and can be carried out from anywhere with reliable internet access. We anticipate around 5–7 hours per week, arranged flexibly around your availability. Regular communication and attendance at agreed online meetings will be important.
We are looking for someone interested in contributing consistently over time and developing with the organisation, rather than completing a short one-off project.
Please include a CV or LinkedIn profile with your application and answer the screening questions provided.
We are particularly interested in examples that show your organisation, reliability, communication and ability to follow through on tasks. Experience can come from paid employment, volunteering, education or other relevant projects.
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an online interview, and we aim to contact applicants within two weeks of applying.

As the Guild has grown in the past few years, our risk management, financial controls, and body of policies and procedures have also matured. Following the scheduled departure of two trustees earlier this year, the Guild’s Finance Subcommittee is seeking to welcome an independent member with relevant skills to attend meetings and advise on financial matters to help us make good decisions effectively.
This voluntary role supports trustees and staff by providing independent insight, constructive scrutiny, and professional expertise on financial planning, budgeting, risk, and long-term sustainability. As a guest to Finance Subcommittee meetings, you will review financial information, contribute to discussions, and help ensure resources are used effectively to maximise our charitable impact for students.
The Finance Subcommittee currently consists of two elected Officers, two external Trustees, and may include a student trustee in future. Papers and reports are ordinarily provided by the Guild Director, who is a non-voting guest to Subcommittee meetings. The Subcommittee normally meets four times per year for around two hours.
Students’ Union experience is not essential, but we are seeking a volunteer able to operate within our distinctive context. We are particularly interested in applicants with experience in finance, accounting, audit, charity governance, or business management.
