How Can You Step Up?  
At Step Up, we are helping build an exciting and prosperous future for Manchester and we are currently looking to expand our Board of Trustees and Advisory Panel.  

We are searching for caring, dynamic and committed people who are passionate about building community and making a real difference to a place and the people who live there.  

If you’re a resident, business, or member of the public or voluntary community, we’d love to hear from you.

Advisory Panel Recruitment  
Another key role within Step Up Manchester is our Advisory Panel, which has been established to ensure we are engaging widely with local stakeholders.  

The Advisory Panel is made up of a number of people representing the voluntary, community, social and public sectors, as well as local residents. Its primary purpose is to advise the Board of Trustees on potential projects that are being considered for investment.  

We are currently seeking local people who have a keen interest in the place they live or work, and have a passion to support others to grow, flourish and maximise their potential. Ideally, we are looking for a representative from each of the following neighbourhoods to join the Advisory Panel: 

  • Ancoats

Successful candidates will act as ambassadors for Step Up Manchester and promote the organisation positively when and when not representing outside of both the Advisory Panel of Board of Trustees.  


The Recruitment Process 
We’re keeping it simple and as easy as possible. The first stage for anyone who wishes to join the Board of Trustees or Advisory Panel is an informal discussion about the role and Step Up Manchester’s core purpose and mission.  

Stage two is a simple application form, followed by an interview with members of the Step Up Board.  

After we consider each application and make decisions on the current applications, successful candidates will be invited to join the Board or Advisory Panel.
