ParaPride is an empowerment charity that advocates for the visibility, education and awareness of LGBTQ+ disabled people. We are a non-profit grassroots organisation focusing on the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+. We're entirely run by volunteers and our lived experiences stand at the core of our charity values.
We endeavour to meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities through a variety of complementary activities including:
-
Creating education and awareness around the need for greater visibility of the communities we serve within the wider LGBTQ+ and disabled communities;
-
Creating and promoting online and offline activities and events to foster understanding of the experience of being LGBTQ+ and disabled people and to bring the communities we serve together;
-
Working with other organisations to further educate and expose the wider public to the challenges faced by the communities we serve and opportunities that are presented when including them; and,
-
Commissioning or conducting research to substantiate the prioritisation of issues impacting the communities we serve.
As a relatively new charity, we will be developing our approach over the next couple of years to further our charitable objects and to serve the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities in the most effective way.
About the role
After several years of relying on the efforts from our Co-Founders, Trustees and temporary volunteers we are looking to take the next step in our growth journey through the placement of our first volunteer recruiter.
This role will work closely with Daniele, ParaPride’s Co-founder and Community Engagement Director and the Board of Trustees to identify the skills and capacity required to run the organisation and sourcing candidates to meet them. It will also play a crucial role in developing Parapride’s volunteer benefits package and talent acquisition strategy.
We are expecting that the roles that this role will be involved in hiring will initially be focused on supporting ParaPride’s core operations (marketing, events and web development) but could include placements in finance, legal, compliance and HR in the future.
Duties
-
Collaborate with ParaPride’s Co-founder and Board of Trustees to identify and prioritise required skills to run the organisation effectively.
-
Develop a strategy for acquiring talent that is inclusive and accessible such that our LGBTQ+ disabled community are given full opportunity to be able to be involved. Provide feedback on practices and policies to support this.
-
Develop and review role descriptions for required roles and advertise across appropriate channels.
-
Screen and shortlist candidates as appropriate, coordinate interview loops and manage candidate communications.
-
Carry out pre-volunteering checks, including references and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks where appropriate.
-
Support volunteer onboarding by coordination the execution of volunteer agreements and creating onboarding plans.
-
In partnership with marketing team members, develop content to share across web and social channels to promote benefits and opportunities for potential candidates to get involved.
-
Support in the development of a benefits package to support in the acquisition of volunteers (non-salaried).
We will also welcome any additional suggestions for how you might wish to apply your skills to support ParaPride in its mission.
The impact you will have
We expect that hiring this role will be a critical step in ParaPride’s development as being able to engage with people willing and able to support our cause is the only way for us to be able to grow our operations to provide better support for more LGBTQ+ disabled people and deliver more training and workshops to enable others to be become better allies.
About you
We are looking for someone with 3+ years experience in recruitment (any field) . We also encourage students and graduates who can demonstrate strong alignment with our mission, vision and values.
We are dedicated to ensuring that this role is a productive professional development experience for the incumbent and welcome suggestions from potential candidates on how we might support their specific goals.
We strongly welcome candidates that have lived experiences of being disabled and/or LGBTQ+, although this not an explicit requirement
Level of commitment
We are a growing charity and while it is our goal to provide financial compensation for this role in the future, we are unable to initially. In full transparency, this is only an indication of our ambition and will be dependent on a lot of factors linked to appropriate funding. Please do not apply at this time if this is a primary motivator for you, we hope to have more suitable roles for you in time to come.
We are dedicated to being fully respectful of your time, but expect a minimum contribution of 8 hours per month on average (varying according to demand), remote, completely flexible and at time convenient to you.

ABOUT SMART WORKS
Smart Works is a dynamic, high profile and fast-growing UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for success at their job interview. We empower each woman by giving her the clothes and the confidence she needs to succeed.
After visiting Smart Works, 63% of clients secure a job within a month, gaining financial independence and transforming their lives.
The Smart Works service is delivered in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, Reading and Leeds. Over the past ten years, Smart Works has helped over 30,000 women. It is our mission that any woman who needs our service should be able to find her way to a Smart Works centre.
In April 2022, Smart Works launched a new Three-Year Plan that will see the charity double the number of women helped annually from 5,000 to 10,000 women a year. To achieve this, we will grow our existing centres and open new centres in areas of need.
Smart Works Scotland, operating as a licensee of Smart Works Charity, is led by a Board of passionate and dedicated trustees, who are responsible for the governance and strategic direction of the Smart Works service across Scotland, with centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow. More information about who we are can be found on our Smart Works website.
ABOUT THE ROLE
A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join the Smart Works Scotland Board of Trustees.

This will involve supporting the Head of Scotland and Fundraising and Partnerships Manager to shape the SWS corporate partner “offer”, engaging with corporate supporters, and building the narrative of our social value proposition.
Securing corporate funding/financial donations as an income stream will enable the Charity to continue delivering the Smart Works service across Scotland, helping women to secure employment and gain financial independence. The offer will likely include securing formal, multi-year Charity Partner status for Smart Works Scotland across the major cities and increasing corporate participation in fundraising challenges, such as the annual Cycle for Smart Works challenge and payroll giving.
The time commitment for this voluntary, unpaid role is an average of 2.0 days per month, with more time given at busy periods of the year. There will be a requirement to sit on the Fund-Raising Sub Committee, with meetings taking place every 3 months, and to attend Board meetings taking place every 2 months.
If you feel you have valuable experience and skills to contribute to the Smart Works mission and would like to use your professional experience for good, the team would love to hear from you.

PERSONAL SPECIFICATION
It is our vision that the successful applicant will have a strong network of corporate contacts across Scotland and be able to leverage their skills to create, develop, and secure corporate partnerships and deliver the desired financial outcomes.
The Corporate Relationship Trustee will be expected to support the Head of Scotland and the Fund Raising and Partnerships Manager, and, where necessary, to liaise with the Smart Works Corporate Partnerships team in London to ensure joined-up activities where contacts are UK wide organisations.
As this is a voluntary, unpaid role it requires a self-starting and proactive approach with the capacity and time to challenge, engage and contribute to the work of the Board in a positive manner.
It is essential that all applicants believe in the mission of Smart Works and align with our core values, share a commitment to fairness and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion, acting at all times with honesty and integrity.
We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, disabled candidates, and candidates with lived experience of unemployment, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at Smart Works.
