Cystinosis Foundation UK is looking for a dedicated Volunteer Treasurer to join our friendly trustee board and help strengthen the financial foundations of our work. If you have a head for numbers and are keen to make a difference, this is a fantastic opportunity to support a community that relies on compassion, clarity, and strong governance.

As Treasurer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our finances are well managed and transparent. You don’t need to be a qualified accountant — though financial experience is helpful — just someone organised, reliable, and comfortable with basic financial processes. Full support and a warm welcome from the trustee team are guaranteed.

Why This Matters

Cystinosis is a rare, lifelong condition. Our charity supports families, funds research, and raises awareness — but we can only do that with strong, responsible financial stewardship. By volunteering a few hours each month, you’ll help us continue providing vital support to those who need it most.

Who We’re Looking For

You might be a finance professional wanting to give back, someone with bookkeeping experience, or simply a detail‑oriented person keen to support a cause that changes lives. If you’re passionate about helping a small charity thrive, we’d love to hear from you.

The Worker Support Centre (WSC) is a Scotland based charity. We partner with people who have come to the UK to work on visas or temporary contracts. We provide advice to secure their rights, end exploitation, build collective power and drive lasting change together. Alongside other organisations and decision-makers we’re building a movement of people who welcome all workers, working towards a world where we are all safe, valued and respected at work – no matter our job or nationality.

WSC support includes advice, mediation, advocacy and assisted reporting to enforcement agencies. Our worker engagement informs policy change activity to address harms faced by those in high-risk work. In 2023 and 2024 WSC activities were targeted at workers in seasonal agriculture on the UK Seasonal Worker visa (SWV). During this time, we provided advice, support, and information to 1031 people in relation to the SWV. More recently we have expanded our work to engage workers in health and social care and to advance care workers’ rights through worker education and power sessions. To learn more about work, visit workersupportcentre.org.uk

About the role

This role is focussed on advancing seasonal agricultural and social care workers’ rights by supporting WSC’s policy and advocacy work. In this role you will support WSC meet two of its four core objectives to work together with workers to claim spaces for power and representation in decision making; and to build the field of knowledge about workers and their experiences to influence policy. As well as work delivered directly by WSC, our policy work includes coordinating with coalitions such as the Ethical Trading Initiative, the Seasonal Worker Interest Group and the Scottish Food Coalition.

WSC strives to achieve representation of individuals with lived experience of the issues on which we work at all levels of our organisation and actively promote applications from individuals with experience of the issues on which we work.

As Office Manager/Executive Assistant for Scotland you will join us at an exciting time as we expand our work to more effectively reach out to, engage and support more people to live well with all types of diabetes, to prevent or delay the onset of Type 2 diabetes and ultimately to achieve our vision of a world where diabetes can do no harm.

We’re working to build and grow a powerful movement of people helping to achieve a world where diabetes does no harm. The Office Manager/Executive Assistant will be part of a team, working alongside the diabetes community, which empowers people, communities and organisations to raise awareness, influence change and support people affected by diabetes to live well and access better care.

Role Responsibility

• Provide administrative services and support, including minute taking, sourcing venues, liaising with outsourced suppliers.
• Provide an excellent customer experience to members of the public by being the first point of contact for general queries, managing Scotland mailboxes, responding to questions and/or signposting to the relevant colleagues.
• Provide information, support and responses to national enquiries, including people living with diabetes who contact the Scotland office.
• Implement and oversee a range of processes to a high-level including finance, health and safety, GDPR and other compliance requirements.

The Ideal Candidate

You will be a team player, with a passion for working with people. You will build effective working relationships at all levels, both internally and externally, while demonstrating discretion with confidential matters. You will be flexible and have a proactive approach with the ability to work on own initiative. Compassion and openness is essential when providing a first-line response to people seeking support.

We have a friendly and inclusive working environment here at Diabetes UK and are proud of our hybrid approach which allows great flexibility in the way that we work. This means that you can balance your working time between home and the office, subject to the needs of your role.
