We’re looking for a Senior Developer / Tech Lead (Volunteer) to guide the build, unblock the team, and help us ship a solid, scalable product. This is a light commitment (2–5 hours per week), but a high-leverage role: you’ll be working closely alongside the founders and our Product Manager.

• Review PRs and raise code quality (architecture, security, performance, maintainability).

• Identify risk early (security, data handling, scalability) and propose solutions.

What we’re building

• A production product with real users and real-world constraints.

Tech stack

MERN stack

• MongoDB (database)

• Express.js (backend framework)

What we’re looking for

• Senior-level software engineering experience (ideally with leading small teams or acting as tech lead).

Why join (and what you’ll get)

• Real ownership and influence — your decisions shape the product.

• Work directly with the founders + Product Manager.

• A mission-led build where shipping matters and the work is tangible.

• Flexibility: async-first, lightweight weekly rhythm.

Time + format

• Volunteer: 2–5 hours per week

Volunteer Graphic Designer

Create the visual identity for a new charity on a mission to unlock potential

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We are building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to break barriers, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.

We are preparing to launch — and now we need a talented creative who can help us bring our brand to life.

Your Mission: Design a Brand That Inspires Change

We are looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer who can create a powerful, meaningful and memorable logo and brand identity that captures the heart of our mission.

This is a chance to shape the visual identity of a charity from day one. Your work will become the face of our movement — appearing across our website, social media, programmes, campaigns and future impact.

You will:

• Design a bold, inspiring logo that reflects unlocking potential, opportunity and transformation

• Develop a simple but impactful brand identity (colours, typography, visual style)

• Create initial brand assets for use across digital platforms

• Work closely with the Founder to understand our mission, values and audience

• Help translate our purpose into a visual language that resonates with the communities we serve

Your creativity will help us communicate hope, empowerment and possibility to people who need it most.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll be a great fit if you are:

• A creative thinker with experience in graphic design or brand development

• Someone who can turn ideas and values into compelling visual concepts

• Passionate about social mobility, fairness and creating positive change

• Able to commit a short burst of time over the coming weeks to help us prepare for launch

• Excited by the idea of shaping the identity of a brand‑new charity

Whether you’re an experienced designer or an emerging creative looking to build your portfolio, your work will have real purpose and real impact.

Why this role matters

A brand is more than a logo — it’s a promise. A signal of trust. A spark of recognition. A symbol of hope.

Your designs will help us reach people who have been overlooked, underestimated or held back by circumstance. You will help us communicate possibility to adults who deserve the chance to thrive.

• If you want to use your creativity to make a meaningful difference…
• If you want to help build something powerful from the ground up…
• If you want your work to inspire thousands…

We’d love to hear from you.

Become the Volunteer Who Helps Launch a Movement

Join Unlock YOUR Potential and help build a charity that breaks barriers and transforms futures

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never define a person’s destiny. Talent is everywhere — opportunity is not. We exist to change that.

We’re building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Through holistic employability, wellbeing and mentoring programmes, we’re here to break cycles, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.

We’re focusing our work in areas ranked among the top 10% most deprived in the UK for employment and skills. The need is urgent. The barriers are real. But the opportunity for impact is extraordinary.

And this is where you come in......

Volunteer Project Manager (Short‑Term, High‑Impact Role)

Help us build a charity from the ground up

We’re looking for a proactive, organised and mission‑driven Volunteer Project Manager to help us set up and launch our new charity. This is a rare chance to be the first operational volunteer joining the Founder and a small team of designers at the earliest, most exciting stage of our journey.

This is not just a role — it’s a chance to shape the foundations of an organisation that will support thousands of adults across the UK.

You will work directly with the Founder to:

• Build clear project plans, timelines and action lists for our launch

• Create simple, effective early systems, workflows and operational processes

• Track progress, identify risks and keep the Founder focused on what matters most

• Coordinate tasks across design, operations, service development and early marketing

• Support the recruitment of our wider volunteer team

• Influence the structure, strategy and foundations of a brand‑new social‑mobility charity

Your work will directly determine how quickly we can begin delivering life‑changing support to adults who face the highest barriers to employment and skills.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• Experienced in project management, operations or organisational planning

• Someone who brings structure, clarity and calm to fast‑moving environments

• A builder — someone who enjoys creating order from ambiguity

• Deeply passionate about fairness, opportunity and social mobility

• Able to commit time over the next few weeks or months to help us reach launch

If you choose to stay on after the launch, we’d love that — but this particular project is focused on the start‑up phase.

Why this role matters

This is your chance to be part of something at the moment it begins. You won’t just be managing tasks — you’ll be shaping a charity designed to unlock potential for people who have been overlooked for far too long.

1. If you want to use your skills to create real, lasting social impact…
2. If you want to help build something meaningful from the ground up…
3. If you believe that where someone starts should never limit where they can go…

We’d love to hear from you.

What if being a Trustee was one of the most meaningful leadership roles you ever took on? At REMAP, we believe everyone deserves the chance to live with greater independence.

Each year, our volunteers design and create bespoke equipment free of charge for more than 3,000 disabled people across the UK. From simple adaptations that restore confidence to complex custom solutions that change daily life, every project starts with listening to the individual.

As we continue to grow our impact, we’re now recruiting new Trustees to join our Board.

We’re particularly interested in people with experience in:
• Finance and strategic oversight 
• Health and clinical practice, especially Occupational Therapy
• Lived experience of being disabled or caring for someone with a disability

Experience in charity or nonprofit finance is particularly valuable, especially in fund stewardship, governance, and financial resilience, but we also welcome applicants from commercial or public-sector backgrounds who bring strong financial leadership skills.

Or do you have a clinical and health background, particularly as an Occupational Therapist, to bring professional insight to our Board? Your experience can help shape safe, effective, person-centred solutions at a national level and strengthen how we work alongside health professionals.

We are keen to hear from disabled people and carers who can bring lived experience to our Board, helping ensure everything we do at REMAP remains grounded in real needs and real lives.

You don’t need previous board experience. We’re looking for people who bring insight, curiosity, and a commitment to strong governance and inclusive services.

Trustees play a vital role in shaping our strategy, supporting sustainability, and ensuring disabled people remain at the heart of everything we do.

If you’d like an informal conversation or know someone who might be a great fit, please get in touch:
