Administrative support volunteer volunteer volunteer roles
Who they are
Bookmark Reading Charity was established in 2018 with a clear and simple vision: that every child should be able to read. In England, one in four children leave primary school unable to read at the expected standard. Bookmark works to improve children’s literacy by fostering a culture of reading for pleasure in primary schools, with a particular focus on supporting children in the most disadvantaged communities.
The role
Bookmark Reading Charity exists to change children’s life stories through the joy of reading.
In a typical year, one in four children in an average class will leave primary school unable to read well. These children often struggle throughout their education and later in life and are at risk of becoming part of the seven million adults in the UK who face daily challenges with basic reading. Literacy extends far beyond books: it affects the ability to read road signs, safety instructions, job applications, medical prescriptions, and everyday communications. Children from disadvantaged backgrounds are disproportionately affected; four in ten children eligible for free school meals are unable to read well by the age of 11. Poor literacy is closely linked to reduced employment opportunities, poorer health outcomes, low self-esteem, and even reduced life expectancy.
Bookmark’s ambition is for every child to read.
As a leading reading charity for primary school children, Bookmark partners with schools to develop whole-school reading cultures and deliver one-to-one reading support. Through a flexible, volunteer-led programme, children gain the reading skills and confidence they need to have a fair chance in life. Bookmark has delivered the first year of its three-year strategy and is working towards partnering with 1,000 primary schools, enabling 500,000 children to benefit from a Bookmark literacy programme. Through the support of its Trustees, the charity aims to change the stories of the children who need it most.

This Role Is the Backbone of the Content Ecosystem
Content creation without structure becomes chaos. Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is intentionally recruiting hundreds of content creators. That level of scale requires rigorous systems to ensure nothing is lost, duplicated, misused, or unsafe. The Content Librarian / Digital Asset Manager is the role that turns volume into value.

Purpose of the Role
The Content Librarian ensures that every piece of content created across the organisation is:
- Logged
- Tagged
- Categorised
- Approved
- Stored
- Accessible
- Reusable
This role protects:
Brand integrity

- Experience working across teams (creative, campaigns, operations, safeguarding) to coordinate content flow and accountability.
- Highly organised approach with strong file hygiene, documentation discipline, and ability to maintain standards consistently.
- Strong attention to detail, including version control, permissions, approval status tracking, and prevention of misuse.
- Ability to think in systems: designing processes that make content searchable, reusable, and scalable.
- Strong communication skills for clarifying requirements, flagging risks, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
- Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and maintain reliability in a high-volume environment.
Desirable experience
- Experience supporting creative teams with admin/ops or project coordination.

- Experience building content calendars or supporting distribution workflows.
Helpful tools (welcomed, not required)

Training & qualifications
- Formal qualifications are not required.
- Qualifications in library studies, information management, or organisational management are desirable.
Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
- Build and maintain a central digital content library that supports scale, reuse, and consistent access across the CIC.
- Create and manage structured systems for content organisation, including naming conventions, folder structures, tagging rules, and metadata standards.
- Log and catalogue all incoming content from content creators, podcast teams, campaign teams, and ambassadors, ensuring every asset is captured and traceable.
- Track key content status fields, including approval status, usage rights/permissions, platform suitability, and safeguarding clearance.
- Ensure content is easy to find and easy to reuse by maintaining accurate tags, searchable metadata, clear versions, and consistent file hygiene.
- Manage version control and “single source of truth” practices, preventing confusion, loss of quality, duplicated assets, or incorrect public release.
- Coordinate with the Social Media Director, Safeguarding Officer, Campaign Managers, and Automation & Systems teams to align library structure with workflows and publishing needs.
- Flag risks, gaps, duplication, or misuse (e.g., missing consent, unclear rights, unapproved assets, outdated versions, incorrect tagging) and route issues to the right owners.
- Support content distribution readiness by ensuring assets are stored in the correct location, correctly named, correctly tagged, and marked for approved use.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by refining systems, templates, and guidance as volume increases and the C.I.C scales.
This role is not suitable if you:
- Dislike structure or admin
- Prefer fast-paced creative chaos
- Struggle with confidentiality
- Are uncomfortable working with sensitive content
- Need immediate paid work
Important to Be Clear
This is:
- A volunteer role within a Community Interest Company
- Unpaid during the build phase
- A critical infrastructure role
Paid opportunities will be introduced as the organisation becomes financially sustainable.
Next Steps
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:
- A systems-focused discussion
- A values and safeguarding conversation
If you are someone who understands that order creates safety, systems create scale, and structure creates longevity, this role is for you.
A Final Word
Content systems are about people, not files.

Order protects dignity and safety
Structure is a safeguarding issue
Consistency keeps systems trustworthy

Do you have a passion to make a difference in the lives of children and families? Spurgeons is seeking new trustees to join our current Board in bringing prayerful wisdom and strategic guidance over the coming years.
Spurgeons is one of the UK’s leading children’s charities, supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their families for 150 years. Inspired by Christian faith and our founder Charles Spurgeon, we’re here for all families. Together, we create family hubs where we’re needed most, with counselling, early years and family support. We partner with local councils, churches and communities to care for every family, putting children and young people first in everything we do. Our services also include parenting support and resources, mental health support for children and young people, and working with families affected by domestic abuse and imprisonment.
These services are needed more than ever, and our current strategy focuses on growth, innovating in partnership with churches, developing online family hubs to expand our reach and ensuring fundraising is a strategic priority. We are ambitious and hopeful about how we can grow to make a significant impact on many more children’s lives in the future.
To support Board succession planning, we are seeking to appoint five new trustees with a range of skills and experience including:
· Fundraising and marketing
· Finance
· Children’s services e.g. senior leadership experience within social services, the care sector, local authorities, health, education, or charitable contexts
· Safeguarding
· Cultural change and transformation
Given an occupational requirement for these roles to be filled by Christians, we are seeking candidates with a personal and active Christian faith who are comfortable and aligned with the statement of faith outlined on our website.
In order to build on our Baptist heritage, we are also keen to ensure that at least one of our trustees is a member of, or has a connection with, the Baptist church.
Spurgeons values diversity, promotes inclusion, and encourages applications from a diverse range of candidates, including those with lived experience of children’s support services. We recognise the need to increase the diversity of the Board, for example in terms of age, ethnicity, disability, gender and LGBTQ+ representation.
In terms of location, at present, Board meetings take place in London and committee meetings take place virtually via Teams.
