Could you lead the SSAFA presence at your local military base? Ideally you will already have links to the base; you’ll have some experience of managing people and basic I.T skills. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
What is a Service Committee Chair?
There are SSAFA committees on many military bases in the UK and overseas. Each one has a Chairperson to oversee all aspects of the committee. Reporting to the Regional Chair, you will ensure that the committee is running in line with SSAFA’s policies to keep clients and volunteers safe; that all services provided are appropriate and effective and that the committee is financially sound. You will be the public face of SSAFA on site.
Why do we need you?
We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community for more than 130 years. In recognition of their service to the Nation we aim to provide financial, practical and emotional support when it’s needed most. To do this we need volunteers who can represent SSAFA on the base and beyond, ensure that everyone knows about SSAFA services and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.
When would you be needed and where would you be based?
This role is about leadership, networking, coordination, and administration. Many volunteers can carry out this role from home and from their place of work.
The role would suit someone looking to offer a regular time commitment. You would need to organise and attend a minimum of four meetings each year. The Chair is an Office Bearer and in addition to voting rights, holds the casting vote.
What would you be doing?
• Providing support to all SSAFA Service Committee volunteers
• Holding regular committee meetings, at least four per year
• Ensuring that all requests for grants are reviewed by the committee in line with the committee’s Terms of Reference
• Working with the Community Volunteer Coordinator to oversee all SSAFA community volunteering, ensuring beneficiaries get support that is effective and timely
• Monitoring volunteer numbers against the demand for support and recruiting new volunteers as needed
• Building positive relationships with the senior management team on the base and the local SSAFA branch working in the wider community
• Providing reports and information to the local SSAFA branch and to SSAFA’s Central Office
• Overseeing an annual plan and fundraising programme to meet the locally identified needs
• Being a positive ambassador for SSAFA remembering that anyone you meet could be a potential client, volunteer, or fundraiser
• Working with Central Office staff to ensure all volunteers complete all mandatory tasks in line with the training and vetting requirements of their role.
• Volunteering within the standards and values of SSAFA including adhering to our policies such as the volunteering policy and data protection policy
What can you gain from this volunteering role?
• Give back to your local military community
• Gain experience of holding a key local role with oversight of all SSAFA activity on site
• Use your skills, knowledge, and life experience to benefit others
• Support and friendship from your local SSAFA committee and the wider SSAFA community
• Experience, training, and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews
• Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!
What about training and support?
• An induction to SSAFA specifically designed for Chairs and Chairmen within SSAFA’s Volunteer Network
• Online training modules on safeguarding and GDPR, so you are up to date on how to keep beneficiaries, their families and information safe
• Access to a range of e-learning courses as well as local opportunities to keep your training up to date.
• Support from a Regional Operations Support Manager (per region)
• Support from SSAFA’s Welfare team, Volunteer Development team and Volunteer Experience team
• Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
What are we looking for?
• Friendly and approachable people of any age (18+) with some experience of coordinating people
• Good written and spoken English
• Ability to engage the senior managers on site representing SSAFA and the needs of clients
• Respectful and non-judgemental approach with beneficiaries, their family, other agencies represented on base and SSAFA colleagues
• Ability to send and receive emails – you will receive your own SSAFA email address which you will be required to use when exercising your role
• Volunteer management skills
• Ability to keep within the boundaries of the role e.g. prompt reporting of safeguarding concerns in line with SSAFA policies
• Reliability
• Practice confidentiality and data protection in line with SSAFA policies
• Willingness and means to travel to meetings or events as required
• Ability to provide two referees: former employers or other people that know you well (other than relatives)
Minimum Age: 18
Safer Recruitment: SSAFA undertakes a systematic approach and utmost care at every step of the process of volunteer recruitment, selection, and retention to ensure that those recruited are suitable and appropriate. Measures taken at points along this journey work together to make volunteering at SSAFA a positive and safe experience.

Trustees wanted for Nantgarw China Works Museum
Nantgarw China Works is home to the finest porcelain ever produced. It was established in 1813 and produced porcelain that has achieved international fame before producing earthenware for daily use until 1920. The site was rescued from total decay in 1990 but many of the Scheduled historic structures remain in urgent need of care. Today the China Works is a museum displaying the history of the porcelain and pottery produced at the site, a working pottery where three ceramicists are based (one of whom produces porcelain items from the rediscovered recipe of 1813), and a major teaching institution running some 500 workshop sessions in heritage crafts. The site is a popular venue for local groups and societies as well as an increasing number of coach tours.
Since 2007 the Museum has been operated by a charitable trust which determines the strategic directions for its development. It is staffed by volunteers who carry out a wide range of duties under the oversight of our Strategic Development Manager. After considerable growth over the past decade, we are now focussed on the steps necessary for expansion and sustainability. We are currently seeking to achieve Accredited Museum status and in line with our vision and the conclusions of a recent Options Appraisal exercise are working on developing a multi-million-pound application to ‘transform where the world’s finest porcelain was made into a vibrant centre for ceramic history and contemporary innovation.’
At this exciting time in our history, we would welcome applications to join the existing seven members of the Trustee board. Trustees are unpaid and meet formally six times a year but are expected to develop a close relationship with the site and help in any way they can. Working together, Trustees are expected to:
- Set the strategic framework and direction to enable the Museum to deliver benefits to the public, to achieve its goals and to flourish
- Ensure that the charity is carrying out its purposes for the benefit of the public
- Comply with our governing document and the law
- Act in the charity’s best interests
- Manage the charity’s resources responsibly
- Act with reasonable care and skill and ensure the charity is accountable
- Adhere to the Code of Ethics for museums
We would be particularly interested in hearing from applicants who can contribute in the areas of:
- Education, learning and public engagement, particularly in the context of the new Welsh Curriculum
- Historic buildings management and building conservation
- Emerging technologies for interpretation and presentation
Nantgarw China Works is dedicated to diversity, equality and inclusivity. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. Our commitment extends to providing an inclusive recruitment process. If you require accommodations or have specific needs, please let us know.

Gan gydweithio, disgwylir i Ymddiriedolwyr:
- Pennu’r fframwaith a’r cyfeiriad strategol i alluogi’r Amgueddfa i sicrhau buddion i’r cyhoedd, i gyflawni ei nodau ac i ffynnu
- Sicrhau bod yr elusen yn cyflawni ei dibenion er budd y cyhoedd
- Cydymffurfio â’n dogfen lywodraethol a’r gyfraith
