Project Yananai is a UK registered charity number 1209060 and an equal opportunity organisation. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all colleagues. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures.

The Corporate Justice Coalition (CJC) is seeking dynamic, motivated and experienced people who want to add their energy and expertise to pursuing our mission to end corporate abuses of human rights and the environment.

Corporate Justice Coalition’s (CJC) mission is to secure greater protection of human rights and the environment with regard to the global operations of UK corporations, including improved access to justice for those harmed by the activities of UK companies. We work with a diverse range of mainly civil society coalition partners from the fields of global poverty, environmental sustainability and human rights to: change government policies and the law; maintain and strengthen civil society advocacy and campaigning on corporate accountability; develop and promote shared policy solutions; promote public support for the rights of people affected by corporate abuses and solutions to this.

We are looking for two new trustees to join our board. We are looking for a treasurer and another trustee with experience of fundraising in the charity sector.

In addition to the time required to fulfil the responsibilities of any trustee, the role of treasurer would require around 1 additional hour a month.

We are seeking to deepen the diversity of our board and will take that ambition into account when appointing trustees. We would especially like to hear from people with lived experience of the impact of corporate wrongdoing - either overseas or in the UK. In addition, trustee members with experience or skills in running a small charity are always welcomed.

Join the Board of an organisation working in partnership with people with learning disabilities to support them to achieve the life they want.

Applications close Monday 15th September.

Location: Hapstead Village, Buckfastleigh TQ11 0JN

About us

In the rolling countryside on the outskirts of Dartmoor National Park, something special is happening at Camphill Devon Community. At our Hapstead Village, six carefully designed houses provide more than just registered residential accommodation – they create a vibrant, supportive home where adults with learning disabilities and autism don’t simply live, but truly thrive.

Our reach extends beyond Hapstead into the wider communities of Teignbridge and South Hams, where we provide supported living services that honour each person’s individual journey toward independence and fulfilment. This isn’t about fitting people into predetermined boxes; it’s about crafting person-centred approaches that recognise the unique gifts, dreams, and aspirations that each resident brings to our community.

What makes Camphill Devon truly distinctive is our unwavering belief that everyone has something valuable to contribute. We’ve fostered an environment where people don’t just receive support – they give it too, creating mutual care and respect that defines Camphill Communities across the globe. It’s a place where active, fulfilling lives aren’t just possible; they’re the natural outcome of thoughtful, compassionate community living.

About the roles

As we look toward the future, we’re seeking two new Trustees to join our Board and help steer our strategic direction. We’re looking for engaged individuals who can both challenge our thinking and provide support. You’ll be someone who appreciates the delicate balance between holding us accountable to our mission while championing the innovative work we do every day.

Who we are looking for

The expertise we’re seeking speaks to the heart of what makes our community work. We are looking for someone whose professional journey has taken them across adult social care and health. You’ll bring that invaluable perspective that comes from navigating CQC regulations and championing person-centred service delivery in real-world settings. Your experience will help us maintain the highest standards while staying true to our community ethos. Whether you’ve worked within charities, regulated care environments, or supported living services, your insight into the sector and best practices will prove invaluable as we continue to evolve and grow.

Our second trustee search focuses on the people who make everything possible – our dedicated team. We’re looking for an HR professional who can help us navigate the complexities of sustaining a workplace that is deeply values-driven. Your expertise in staff engagement, organisational culture and employment law will be key as we support our workforce in delivering life-changing care. You’ll understand how to balance regulatory requirements with the kind of supportive, inclusive environment where our staff and volunteers can flourish alongside the people they support.

What unites both roles is a shared commitment to the Camphill ethos and a willingness to engage meaningfully in governance. We need strategic thinkers who can offer critical insight while supporting our executive leadership. You’ll be someone who sees the bigger picture, understands the challenges facing adult social care, and believes passionately in the rights, independence, and wellbeing of adults with learning disabilities.

These roles offer the opportunity to contribute to something that extends far beyond policy and procedure. You’ll be helping to nurture a community where every person’s dignity is respected, where individual needs aren’t just acknowledged but celebrated, and where the concept of inclusive living becomes a lived reality rather than an aspiration.

Time commitment:

With quarterly board meetings, committee work, our annual strategy away day, regular engagement with our dedicated team, occasional community visits, and the thoughtful preparation these responsibilities need, you can expect to invest approximately the equivalent of up to a day a month.

We’re committed to diversity and inclusion, and we particularly welcome applications from those with lived experience of disability or professional experience in learning disability support. If you’re ready to help write the next chapter of Camphill Devon’s story and bring either deep health and social care expertise or HR excellence to our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

the3million is currently seeking up to three new non-executive directors to strengthen its dynamic board and support the work of this passionate organisation at the forefront of migrants’ rights in the UK. 

Nine years after the Brexit referendum, we are navigating ongoing challenges affecting EU citizens’ communities. We are continuing to build power from the ground up, empowering people to get their voices heard. Your contribution will be crucial to making change happen.

These positions are voluntary and therefore unpaid.

About the3million

We are the leading organisation representing EU citizens in the UK. Our vision is a world where EU citizens can thrive, reach their potential and have an equal voice in UK society. Our work ranges from informing people of their rights and community organising of EU citizens’ communities, to holding the Government to account on the implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement and promoting access to justice. 

We are a grassroots and non-partisan organisation, working with a variety of stakeholders, from MPs to NGOs, legal advisors and the media on specific issues affecting migrants’ rights. We regularly engage with the Home Office and its monitoring bodies to advocate for change. 

We were formed through the efforts of volunteers from many different backgrounds who came together in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit referendum in 2016. We hold on to that can-do, nimble spirit and friendly and non-hierarchical collegiality.

In 2024, the3million’s contribution towards creating lasting and significant change for EU citizens living in the UK was recognised at the EmpowerEU Awards, in the "Outstanding Achievement” category.

the3million was incorporated as a limited by guarantee not-for-profit company with Companies House in November 2017. As such, the role of members of the Board of Directors is similar, though not identical, to that of Charity Trustees.

• Ensure the financial viability of the3million 
• Contribute effectively to the Board of Directors in giving clear strategic direction, and evaluating performance against set targets

• Confidence in building relationships with a wide range of people, and the opportunity to learn from the varied experiences that other Board members bring to the table;
• An opportunity to use your skills, knowledge and experience to the benefit of the organisation and the communities we serve;
• A sense of pride when hearing about the difference our campaigning and organising efforts make, knowing you have had a role in protecting the rights of EU citizens in the UK.

Being a director is a voluntary role and is not paid, but expenses including for travel are reimbursed.

Restrictions

• Over 18
• Must be currently based in the UK
• Not bankrupt
• Subject to satisfactory DBS check and references

Who should apply?

Applications are welcome from everyone with the relevant passion and experience in one or more of the areas listed above. Having worked in the migration sector or in campaigning is not necessarily required. We recognise that many other settings offer transferable skills.

One of the3million’s core values is equity - we are people-led, we value diversity and are enriched by differences. We strive to listen to, engage with and represent the broadest range of people. 

We are particularly eager to hear from candidates with lived experience of migration. If you are from a background that is underrepresented in the migration sector we also strongly encourage you to apply. This could include coming from a community that experiences racism, living with a disability or not having been to University.

We are actively working towards becoming an anti-oppressive organisation, including taking steps to create a more inclusive recruitment process.

We believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity. the3million welcomes the whole person to work, and we understand that each of us brings our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique lens to what we do.
