This isn't your normal "looking for work" post.

I've decided to shut my business and do more volunteer / community work.

If you know of an organisation which could use a board member with strong digital skills, extensive experience in open source and open standards, or cybersecurity please let me know.

Nothing full time. Personal recommendations preferred. Feel free to share.

holy beans that is a hell of an opportunity for the right orgs. Good luck and may your hunt be fruitful.

My first suggestion would be the #RYA but maybe that's more becuase they need someone rather than any knowledge that they actually want someone. You could also talk to someone in the chartiies team at #odgersberndtson - They are an executive search practice.

my employer (a Scottish charity) places specialist volunteers with charities, based on defined needs. Ranges from board appointments through to an hour or twos advising.

Details here if you're interested:

@jbenjamint Thanks! I'll take a look. I am London based, but hopefully some remote opportunities are available.
in reply to Terence Eden

thanks. It is pretty much entirely remote. Board roles are obviously a certain commitment but the extent to which general specialist advising / support is given is entirely at the volunteer's discretion - my SVN colleagues operate as the matchmaker and then you decide how far you want to take it. Most volunteering done is a few hours in total, but some volunteers go on to get heavily involved with a charity.

While we work only in Scotland, we do work with a lot of UK-wide charities.

would have to confirm internally but there could interest from my place of work at Awana Digital.

Happy to connect you with the right people if it's mutual :)

@andrew_chou sounds good. My contact details are on edent.tel/

If you really want to do something very different, given your experience in government, you could join Palantir UK.

As a double agent.

If successful the benefits to the British public would be immense.
