Volunteer roles in BA12 9JE

Join the UK’s first purpose-driven travel social enterprise officially incorporated as a CIC. Use your grant writing expertise to secure the funding that empowers underrepresented individuals, builds schools, and protects vulnerable global environments.

About Us
We are innovators, not just traditional philanthropists. We believe that creating self-sustaining funding models is the most effective way to support community agency, which is why we use the power of global travel as a purpose-driven engine for measurable, self-sustaining good.

We operate a unique, dual-impact framework: an inclusive empowerment programme for underrepresented UK individuals, and our flagship global tourism initiative. What makes us radically different is our legal structure. 100% of our organisation's retained surplus is legally asset-locked to our social mission. Every journey facilitated through our network actively funds our 'Four Pillars of Change' directly in developing destinations, such as our flagship 'Made From The Mekong' digital literacy and environmental project.

The Role
While our sustainable travel initiatives fund our ongoing social operations, we are seeking a highly strategic Grants & Bid Writer to spearhead our external funding strategy. You will help us scale our impact by securing social enterprise grants, community development funds, and innovation awards.

You will be responsible for:

• Strategic Bid Writing: Translating our complex dual-impact model into compelling, successful grant applications for social enterprise and community impact funders.
   

• Funding the Future: Securing capital to fund our core social mission expansions, including scaling our digital literacy programmes and on-the-ground initiatives.
   

• Partnership Sourcing: Identifying new Trusts, Foundations, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partners whose values align with our radical transparency and ethical ethos.
   

• Pipeline Management: Tracking application deadlines and maintaining a clear, organized pipeline of funding opportunities.
   

Why Join Us?
We respect that our volunteers are high-level professionals. By joining Yule Travel Group CIC, you gain:

• Strategic Autonomy: You won’t be handed a list of mundane tasks. You will be given a blank canvas to build and execute enterprise-grade funding strategies.
   

• Measurable Global Impact: Your writing doesn’t just raise awareness; it secures the capital that builds schools, funds micro-finance, and supports independent livelihoods.
   

• Innovation-First Experience: We operate with the focus of a modern social enterprise. You will gain hands-on experience utilizing cutting-edge digital tools to scale your output.
   

• Ultimate Flexibility: We operate a 100% remote, asynchronous workspace. You complete your hours on your own schedule, from anywhere in the UK.
   

• A Prestige Portfolio Piece: Coming in at the ground floor of a pioneering social enterprise is a uniquely powerful case study for any professional portfolio.

The Role Working alongside our newly appointed Head of Marketing, we are looking for a highly strategic Digital Content Creator to lead the creative voice of our flagship travel initiative. You will be responsible for:

• Social Media & Content Creation: Designing 2–3 engaging social media posts or short-form videos per week (using Canva, CapCut, etc.) for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook to showcase the 'dream' of our global holidays and package getaways.
   

• Copywriting: Crafting high-converting website copy, exciting destination guides, and bespoke itineraries (e.g., impactful Maldives honeymoons or Costa Rica tours) for our digital platform.
   

• Storytelling with Purpose: Translating our complex dual-impact model into engaging narratives that highlight our grassroots projects in Southeast Asia, showing how every journey contributes to community prosperity.

We respect that our volunteers are high-level professionals. By joining Yule Travel Group CIC, you gain:

• Strategic Autonomy: You won’t be handed a list of mundane tasks. You will be given a blank canvas to build and lead enterprise-grade digital strategies.
   

• Measurable Global Impact: Your work doesn’t just raise awareness; it generates the sustainable funding that builds schools and supports micro-finance.

Help us transform how the world travels! We are a pioneering travel social enterprise using global holiday getaways to fund community-led development and environmental regeneration. We need a visionary Head of Marketing to lead our brand strategy, proving that every journey can make a real difference.

The Mission: Reshaping the Journey
The travel industry faces a significant 'economic leakage' problem. While billions are spent on global holidays, only a tiny fraction reaches the local communities hosting those journeys. Yule Travel Group CIC exists to change that narrative.

We operate a unique, dual-impact model:

• The Inclusive Empowerment Hub: Providing underrepresented UK individuals with the tools, mentorship, and ethical framework to build independent livelihoods as advocates for sustainable tourism.
   

• Global Impact Initiatives: Our retail arm that facilitates world-class international holidays for the public, where 100% of the retained surplus is legally locked to fund global development.
   

Your Role as the 'Head'
We are building a marketing department consisting of three people: You (The Strategic Lead), a Content Creator, and a Partnership Outreach Lead. We don’t need you to design daily social media posts; we need you to lead the overarching strategy and ensure both 'arms' of our mission are perfectly aligned.
 

• Brand Guardianship: Overseeing the distinct brand voices of our Empowerment Hub and our Retail Initiatives, ensuring they both communicate our 'Travel for Good' ethos with radical transparency.
   

• Team Leadership: Guiding and mentoring our volunteer content and partnership creators.
   

• Campaign Strategy: Designing high-level marketing campaigns that promote global holidays (from luxury escapes to family packages), which in turn fund our 'Four Pillars of Change.'
   

The Global Impact of Your Role
Your strategic leadership will be the funding engine for our global social projects. Because of our unique CIC structure, we rely on sustainable revenue from travel to fund our missions. The more journeys we facilitate and the more independent ambassadors we empower, the more surplus we legally safeguard to fund our initiatives.
 

By leading our marketing team, your impact acts as a massive multiplier. You will directly drive the success required to scale the 'Made From The Mekong' project. This initiative delivers digital literacy and English education to learners across off-grid villages in Laos, while simultaneously funding a circular economy that repurposes river plastic.
 

The Ideal Candidate
You do not need to be from the travel industry, but you must be a strategic thinker who understands how to build and protect a premium brand architecture.
 

• 3+ Years in Marketing Leadership: Proven experience in strategy, brand management, or campaign direction.
   

• Audience Fluency: You know how to pitch an empowerment opportunity to a professional, and how to promote a world-class holiday to a consumer.
   

• The 'Anti-Greenwashing' Guardian: You have a strict ethical compass and know how to market social impact with dignity and facts.
   

• An Innovation Mindset: You want to come in at the ground floor of a dynamic social enterprise, move fast, and prove that the travel industry can be a powerful force for good.
   

Role Logistics: This is a fully remote, flexible volunteer role (4-6 hours/week). You will be managing other volunteers, not paid employees.
