- We’re joyful.
- We’re human.
- We’re community-powered.
- And now, we’re looking for a skilled, organised, tech‑savvy IT & Digital Lead to help build the digital foundations that will power SUNSHINE as we grow.
If you love tech, systems, security and helping people feel confident using digital tools — this role is perfect.

-
Set up our digital systems.
-
Configure our devices.
-
Keep our data secure.
-
Support volunteers with IT queries.
-
Help everyone understand how to use our tools confidently.
You’ll be the person who ensures SUNSHINE runs smoothly behind the scenes — the digital architect who keeps everything connected.
What You’ll Do
As IT & Digital Lead, you will:
-
Set up and configure Office 365, including emails, SharePoint and user accounts.
-
Implement and maintain our cloud-based CRM and Caseload Management Systems.
-
Configure laptops, tablets and phones for SUNSHINE Charity use only.
-
Ensure all devices and data are secure, protected and compliant.

Provide IT/Digital support to volunteers when needed.
-
Lead or support induction sessions to help volunteers understand:

-
How to use them confidently

Comfortable configuring devices and managing user accounts.

Knowledgeable about digital security and data protection.

Patient, supportive and able to explain tech simply.
-
Organised, proactive and detail‑focused.
-
Excited to help build a charity’s digital foundations.
-
Inspired by SUNSHINE’s mission of positivity, human connection, community and belonging.
Experience is welcome — but heart, clarity and reliability matter most.
Time Commitment & Availability
This is a flexible operational volunteer role, not a trustee position.
-
Around 4 hours per month.
-
Additional hours only for urgent IT issues or onboarding needs.
-
Must be available at least 2 evenings per month.
-
Must be available one weekend daytime per quarter (for inductions, device setup, volunteer training or digital support).
We’ll work around your life and schedule — we simply need someone reliable who can help keep SUNSHINE digitally strong and secure.
What You’ll Gain
-
The chance to build the digital backbone of a brand‑new charity.
-
A joyful, supportive team culture.
