Secretary & Admin Coordinator - VOLUNTEER ROLE

The Engine of our Mission: Join Us as Volunteer Secretary & Admin Coordinator

Every great movement needs a mission control. Could that be you?

As Unlock YOUR Potential grows from a big idea into a registered East London charity, the "behind-the-scenes" work becomes the most important part of our success. We are recruiting passionate volunteers to lead our programmes and board, and now we need an organised, detail-oriented Secretary & Admin Coordinator to keep the wheels turning.

If you love bringing order to chaos and want to use your administrative talents to help NEET adults (18+) across East London find their path, we want to meet you.

The Role: Keeping Us Moving Forward

You will be the central hub of our small team, ensuring that our communications are professional, our meetings are productive, and our records are airtight as we apply for charity status.

Your Impact will include:

• Steering the Meetings: Attending our Steering Committee meetings to take clear, actionable minutes that capture our strategic decisions.

• Managing Enquiries: Being the first point of contact for the "growing list" of passionate people responding to our recruitment ads—ensuring everyone gets a warm, timely response.

• Document Guardianship: Helping the Founder organise essential paperwork, from volunteer applications to draft policy documents.

• Process Improvement: As a founding volunteer, you’ll help us set up the inbox systems and folders we’ll use for years to come.

Is This You?

This role is perfect for someone who is highly organised and thrives on being "the person with the plan."

• Super Organised: You find joy in a clean inbox, a clear set of minutes, and a well-labelled folder.

• A Great Communicator: You can write professional, friendly emails that reflect our supportive and empowering ethos.

• Reliable & Discreet: You understand the importance of confidentiality, especially as we handle volunteer data and charity applications.

• Local Heart: You are excited about supporting a grassroots organisation making a real difference in East London.

Why Volunteer with Unlock YOUR Potential?

• Flexible & Remote: Much of this role can be done from the comfort of your home, with occasional attendance at meetings (virtual or in East London).

• Skills Development: Gain unique experience in "Charity Start-up" administration and governance.

• Be Part of the Founding Team: You aren’t just "doing admin"—you are helping to build the infrastructure of a charity that will change lives.

• Direct Impact: By handling the paperwork, you free up our mentors and coaches to focus on what they do best: helping people back into work.

Ready to help us stay on track?

If you have a few hours a week to spare and want to be the backbone of our new charity, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a short note about your admin experience and why you’re interested in supporting social mobility in East London.
