Join our Fundraising Team

We’re making a big push on grant applications, and we need your help! AIMS is in urgent need of funding—both short and long term—to keep delivering the incredible work we do.

We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to join our friendly fundraising team. No previous experience is required—just your willingness to help.

Even if you’re only available for a few months, we’d love to have you on board.

After the fantastic success of our Big Give campaign, we’re keen to keep the momentum going. If you’re interested, please email volunteer@aims.org.uk

P.S. Know someone with fundraising experience who might be able to help? Please send them our way!

Join our Management team

Are you passionate about the work that AIMS does to support maternity service users and campaign for improvements but not sure how you could help? Do you like organising and working with people? Do you enjoy working behind the scenes to make things happen? Then volunteer to join the AIMS Management team.

The Management team is the central hub of the organisation. It has delegated authority from the Trustees for the day-to-day management of AIMS work and for supporting our other volunteer teams. Our role includes:

  • Managing administration and support for AIMS volunteers in collaboration with the volunteer Team Leads

  • Supporting Team Leads to ensure that their Teams have what they need to function effectively

  • Managing routine operational matters including meetings and workshops, the AIMS Shop and other support services, quality control of publications, the charity’s finances, and promotion of AIMS and its activities,.

  • Supporting the Board of Trustees

There is a lot to be done and we desperately need one or two additional volunteers to help us.

If you’d like to know more please contact volunteer@aims.org.uk

Write for AIMS

We are always looking for writers with knowledge of maternity issues to write Birth Information pages, articles or reviews for our online Journal and AIMS books. AIMS wants to provide all maternity service users and those who support them with high quality, unbiased, evidence-based information. If you would like to be a part of this, we would love to hear from you. Please email enquiries@aims.org.uk with details of your interest.

Opportunities for Contractors

Most of the work of AIMS is carried out by our Volunteers, but from time to time we employ contractors. This happens if we do not have a Volunteer available who has both the time and the specialist skills we need.

We employ a part-time office manager to help support the work of our Volunteers, and we use contractors for a variety of other work.

For long term paid roles, such as Journal Editors and Office Manager we advertise; and carry out an interview and selection process.

For short term contract opportunities we may reach out to those we know can provide a service.

If you are able to offer any of the services listed below, and would like to be considered for contract work with AIMS, please send your details to admin@aims.org.uk

  • Temporary admin work
  • IT support
  • Website design
