Vacancies

Leadership Team

1. The Head of Mentoring role has always been shared by two volunteer members. Sally-Anne Holman stepped down in the summer, meaning that Alison Edwards is doing the job alone. Ali is also the Company Secretary and runs Introductory Workshops for Doula UK – so has quite a full plate, in addition to her personal and professional commitments! This position is open to any Doula UK Doula Mentor and you can read about what’s involved here.
2. Gemma Haywood has taken the decision to step down from the Head of Membership role, and Leila Baker will be taking on this role for an initial period of three months with immediate effect. We are hoping Leila will wish to continue in the role after that time, but other members are encouraged to apply if the Head of Membership position is of interest.

The Leadership Team meets quarterly in person, and holds online meetings in between as required. In addition the team uses an online communication platform called Slack, to manage the day to day task of running Doula UK, with Lizzie (organisational manager)’s support.

Key Volunteer role

Leila Baker and Nikki Mather have been sharing the Rep Coordinator role over the past year, and have worked hard to streamline processes in order to make the role a one-doula job! We are now looking for a new volunteer to take over, so if you are a Doula UK Rep and are interested in looking after the wider team of Reps, please contact Leila and Nikki on rco@doula.org.uk for more information about the role. A full handover will be provided, and support given throughout.
