Remote
What will you be doing?
We are looking for a proactive, hands‑on volunteer to work closely with the Director to drive the growth and sustainability of Wandering Emotions CIC. We are seeking someone who will actively contribute to developing and implementing ideas.
Key responsibilities include
- Working collaboratively with the Director to shape and deliver a clear growth and sustainability strategy.
- Advising on and supporting CIC compliance and operations, including awareness of Companies House requirements, director payments, and key deadlines.
- Exploring opportunities for partnerships with local organisations, community groups, and stakeholders.
- Supporting the transition from a fully volunteer‑led model to one that can sustain paid roles.
You will be working directly with the Director in a small, early‑stage CIC, which means there is a high level of flexibility, collaboration, and opportunity to shape how the organisation develops. As we are currently volunteer‑led, this role is ideal for someone who is comfortable working in a start‑up style environment and can take initiative.
This is a unique opportunity to play a meaningful role in building a social enterprise from the ground up, with your input directly influencing how we grow, scale, and create impact in the community.
There is potential for this role to develop into a longer‑term leadership or Board position, subject to mutual fit and organisational needs.
