About Us
The Charity of William Hobbayne, based at the heart of Hanwell, is looking to expand the team and we are looking for people who are motivated by purpose, are comfortable getting things done in a small organisation, and would be proud to be part of something that has genuinely mattered to our community for centuries.
For more than 540 years, the Charity of William Hobbayne has been supporting people in Hanwell who are experiencing need, hardship or distress. Founded in 1484 the charity has evolved from providing relief for the poor to delivering practical, community-focused support today. The charity also operates the William Hobbayne Centre, a valued community hub hosting local groups and activities, and manages allotments, community gardens and green spaces for public benefit. While the needs of local residents have changed over the centuries, the charity’s core purpose remains the same: to provide practical assistance and opportunities that strengthen the wellbeing of the Hanwell community.
Job Descriptions
About the roles
We are looking for a Clerk to support the governance of the charity – the role requires an organised, detail-focused professional to provide vital governance support to our Trustee Board.
We are also looking for a compassionate and organised Grants Officer to support individuals, families and community organisations to access vital funding and support.
These roles are both part time and we would happily consider applications for both roles – we want to find the right people (or person) and we are very open to being flexible and creative. The role (s) have potential for development, depending on need and role holder interest, and the job descriptions shouldn’t be read as exhaustive. We are a small, busy charity and roles naturally flex over time — we will work with the postholder to agree any changes as they arise.
Why join us?
You'll be part of a small but ambitious charity making a real difference in the local community. You'll work alongside dedicated trustees, staff and volunteers who value teamwork, integrity and practical action.
If these roles sound interesting, we would love to hear from you.
Closing date: Friday 31st July
