Become the Light in Someone’s Loneliest Moment: Loneliness Services Manager (Volunteer)

SUNSHINE Charity – Volunteer Role

Loneliness is quiet. It hides behind brave smiles, busy streets, and everyday routines. It affects people of all ages, backgrounds, and stories. At SUNSHINE Charity, we are building a movement that brings warmth, connection, and belonging to those who feel unseen or alone. Our loneliness services are at the heart of that mission — gentle spaces where people can reconnect with others, with community, and with themselves.

To lead these services with care, courage, and compassion, we need someone who understands the power of human connection.

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

We’re searching for someone special

Someone who understands that loneliness isn’t solved with quick fixes — it’s eased through presence, consistency, and kindness. Someone who knows that creating safe, welcoming spaces can change the course of a person’s day, week, or life. Someone who can help us design, deliver, and grow services that bring people together and help them feel less alone.

As our Loneliness Services Manager (Volunteer), you will lead, manage, and oversee all our loneliness‑focused programmes. You’ll help us build services that feel warm, human, and deeply supportive. You’ll ensure that every person who walks through our doors feels valued, welcomed, and held.

Your leadership will help people feel less alone. Your insight will help us build services that truly meet people where they are. Your compassion will help shape the emotional heart of SUNSHINE Charity.

You won’t just be managing services — you’ll be creating lifelines.

Who you are

You don’t need formal qualifications. You don’t need years of experience. You just need heart — and a belief in the power of human connection.

Become the Engine of Our Mission: Chief Operating Officer (Volunteer)

SUNSHINE Charity – Senior Leadership Volunteer Role

Every new charity begins with a vision — a spark of hope powerful enough to change lives. SUNSHINE Charity was born from that spark. We are building a movement rooted in warmth, belonging, and human connection. But for a vision to become reality, it needs structure, leadership, and someone who can turn ideas into action.

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

We’re searching for someone extraordinary

Someone who understands that operational excellence is an act of care. Someone who knows that behind every programme, every volunteer, every moment of impact, there must be clarity, coordination, and calm. Someone who can stand beside our Founder, CEO, and Chair as the second most senior volunteer — helping to shape, build, and run SUNSHINE Charity with heart and purpose.

As our Chief Operating Officer (Volunteer), you will help lead the creation of our systems, structures, and day‑to‑day operations. You’ll help turn our early ideas into a thriving, people‑centred organisation. You’ll help ensure SUNSHINE Charity grows with strength, integrity, and soul.

Your leadership will help us build strong foundations. Your clarity will help us grow with confidence. Your commitment will help ensure SUNSHINE Charity becomes a place where people feel safe, supported, and inspired.

You won’t just be managing operations — you’ll be shaping the future of our entire movement.

 | Social Impact Family)�� Location: New Barnet
�� Children: Founders’ Triplets
⏰ Time Commitment: 2 hours per day | Monday–Friday (flexible by agreement)

✨ About This Opportunity

This is not a traditional nanny role — and we’re not a traditional family. We are a social-entrepreneur family building purpose-led businesses, community initiatives, and alternative education pathways rooted in home education, Montessori philosophy, practical life skills, and conscious parenting.

We believe:

• Children learn best through real life, not rigid systems
• Home, environment, rhythm, and example are the first classroom
• Education should develop the mind, hands, heart, and spirit

We are looking for a warm, curious, playful, and intentional individual to support our triplets through Montessori-inspired role play and hands-on learning — someone who sees childhood as sacred, powerful, and full of possibility. This role is ideal for someone who wants experience, mentorship, alignment, and future opportunity, not just hours on a CV.

�� What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be supporting our children through purposeful play, routine, and exploration — helping them build confidence, independence, coordination, communication, and imagination.

Core Responsibilities:

• Facilitate Montessori-inspired role-play and learning activities
• Encourage independence, curiosity, and self-expression
• Create a calm, respectful, emotionally safe learning environment
• Engage the children in structured but joyful daily rhythms
• Support learning both indoors and outdoors

Example Activities:

Indoor Learning

• Practical life skills (pouring, sorting, cleaning, care of space)
• Sensory exploration
• Early language and communication games
• Counting, matching, and sequencing
• Role-play scenarios (real-life inspired)

Outdoor Learning

• Nature walks and observation
• Balance, coordination, and movement play
• Garden-based learning
• Imaginative outdoor role-play
• Mindful exploration and curiosity-led discovery

�� What You Will Gain

This role is designed to give back to you as much as you give to us.

You will gain:

• Hands-on experience in Montessori and home-education practice
• Direct mentorship from a social-entrepreneur family
• A deep understanding of alternative education models
• Experience that supports careers in:
  • Early years education
  • Montessori or Waldorf settings
  • Child psychology or development
  • Social entrepreneurship
  • Community-based education projects
• A reference and real-world learning, not just theory

 Future Paid Opportunities: This role begins as voluntary, but this is not unpaid forever.

As our companies and community initiatives scale:

• This role is intended to transition into a full-time 10hr days paid position
• Additional paid opportunities may open within:
  • Education projects
  • Family-run ventures
  • Community and youth programmes
• Long-term alignment, reliability, and shared values will be rewarded

We believe in growing with our people, not replacing them.

�� Who This Role Is Perfect For

• purpose-driven individuals
• Students or graduates in childcare, education, psychology, or social sciences
• Montessori-curious or Montessori-trained individuals
• Creatives, carers, educators, or community builders
• Those disillusioned with rigid systems and inspired by conscious living

You don’t need to be perfect — you need to be present, patient, consistent ,curious, and aligned.

Schedule

• 2 hours per day
• Monday to Friday
• Flexible timing by mutual agreement
