About Learn Without Limits CIC
Learn Without Limits CIC is a Wales-based, parent-led organisation developing practical navigation support for families of children and young people with Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and related system barriers. Our work combines parent insight, safeguarding-aware information, public policy interpretation, events and workshops, digital resources, and our emerging Prevent → Bridge → Progress model.
As our work develops, technical decisions increasingly become governance decisions. We are therefore seeking a Non-Executive Director – Technology & Digital Governance to provide strategic oversight as the programme moves into its next phase.
What the Role Involves
You will contribute board-level scrutiny, strategic advice, and constructive challenge across areas including:
- Digital governance and technical risk
- Accessibility and inclusive design
- Safeguarding-sensitive information handling
- Data protection and governance boundaries
- Platform sustainability and technical debt
- App, website, and future product architecture
- Documentation, continuity, and handover standards
- Procurement or commissioning of technical support
- Oversight of student projects, contractors, and technical collaborators
- Architecture choices and scaling risks
- Future recruitment or supervision of a paid Technical Lead
- Privacy-aware analytics, outreach tracking, and board-level digital evidence reporting
A key part of the role will be helping the Board understand what digital evidence is useful, proportionate, and safe to collect. This may include Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Eventbrite analytics, website and blog traffic, UTM campaign links, referral sources, conversion data, and simple dashboards.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The purpose is not to over-track families. It is to help Learn Without Limits understand reach, engagement, and stakeholder response in a GDPR-aware way so that the Board can make better decisions and the organisation can evidence impact responsibly.
This is not an unpaid developer role.
We are not looking for somebody to build or maintain an entire platform in their volunteer time. We are looking for someone who can help us make sound technical decisions, identify risk early, avoid unnecessary technical debt, challenge unrealistic assumptions, and support sustainable long-term development.
Who This Role May Suit
Applicants should have at least three years of relevant professional experience in one or more of the following:
- Software development or systems architecture
- Product management
- UX or service design
- Accessibility and WCAG standards
- Data protection or information governance
- Privacy-aware analytics
- Google Analytics / Search Console
- Campaign tracking and dashboard reporting
- Civic tech or digital transformation
- Public-sector, charity, or social-impact technology
- Technical programme leadership
- Technology governance
- PRINCE2 Agile, ITIL, MSP, or similar delivery or governance frameworks
Previous Board experience is not essential. Direct experience of ALN is not essential. Lived experience of disability, neurodivergence, caring, education, or public systems would be welcomed.
Most importantly, we are looking for somebody who can think strategically, communicate clearly, value accessibility and safeguarding, work collaboratively, and provide constructive challenge.
Training Expectations
Because this role involves Board-level oversight of digital infrastructure, information handling, and safeguarding-sensitive content, the successful applicant must be willing to refresh relevant training where required.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
If you do not already have recent evidence of GDPR/data protection training and Level 2 safeguarding training, you will be expected to complete or refresh both.
Time Commitment
Approximately 4–8 hours per month, including quarterly Board or strategy meetings and occasional advisory input between meetings. Most meetings are remote.
What We Offer
This is an opportunity to help shape a growing Wales-based public-interest programme at an important stage of development.
You will help strengthen the governance of an emerging prevention and navigation model, support ethical digital development, and contribute to infrastructure designed around real family journeys rather than abstract assumptions.
You will also have the opportunity to influence early-stage civic infrastructure before key technical decisions are locked in.
