Job description
We’re looking for two amazing trustees to join our board at Speech and Language UK. Could it be you?
You could help more children enjoy story time, learn their times tables, and share jokes with their friends and families by volunteering your time as a trustee. With a record two million children now dealing with speech and language challenges – and that number rising year on year – this a crucial time for our organisation and the children and families we support.
As a trustee, you will guide us, support us, and grow with us as we work to make sure every child can face the future with confidence. We’re looking for trustees with experience either in education (early years, primary, or secondary) or speech and language therapy (practice- or research-based or a combination) who are as passionate as we are about changing young lives.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. This is your chance to make a difference.
For more information or to chat about the role, please get in touch or visit our website.
The closing date for applications is 9am on Monday, 24 November 2025. Interviews will take place on 10 December (morning) and 12 December (afternoon) via Teams.

Rising Capacities for Children Africa (RICCA)
Rising Capacities for Children Africa (RICCA) tackles child poverty in rural Kenya, especially in Kirinyaga County, by creating inclusive, child-friendly learning environments. Through the Ricca Afterschool Center, children aged 6–17 access personalized support, mentorship, and engaging programs in arts, sports, agriculture, and digital literacy. These activities foster academic success, creativity, social skills, and life competencies while making learning fun and accessible. RICCA also works with schools to improve teacher quality, infrastructure, and resources, and engages parents in the process. By bridging rural–urban gaps and promoting intercultural dialogue, RICCA empowers communities, protects children’s rights, and breaks cycles of poverty through education.
After-School Curriculum Design Specialist
About RICCA
RICCA is a grassroots organization in rural Kenya working to create equal learning opportunities for marginalized children in public primary schools. We run after-school centers that provide safe, creative spaces where children can learn through play, storytelling, and exploration — not just exams.
RICCA was founded by Kenneth Gitari, whose own journey from a small rural village inspired him to reimagine education so that every child, no matter their background, can dream, learn, and thrive.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Curriculum Design Specialist (Volunteer) to help us strengthen and structure our after-school curriculum framework. This role is ideal for someone passionate about child-centered education, play-based learning, and creating real impact in underserved communities.
What You’ll Do
- Design and structure an engaging after-school curriculum that builds literacy, numeracy, and life skills.
- Integrate play-based, creative, and culturally relevant learning approaches for children in rural settings.
- Collaborate with our team to develop fun, practical lesson ideas and facilitator guides.
- Support the training of local facilitators on effective, inclusive teaching methods.
- Develop adaptable learning materials and frameworks that community educators can easily use.
Who You Are
- You have experience in Curriculum Development, Education Design, or Child Development.
- You’re familiar with alternative learning approaches such as project-led or experiential learning.
- You’re creative, resourceful, and passionate about education equity.
- Experience with rural or resource-limited settings is a strong plus.
What You’ll Gain
- A chance to shape an impactful education model reaching children in rural Kenya.
- Collaboration with a passionate grassroots team creating lasting change.
- Recognition and exposure through RICCA’s website, newsletters and a letter of appreciation.
