Job description
Are you driven by purpose over profit, and motivated to use words responsibly to shape public understanding?
Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is seeking a Founding Volunteer Creative Copywriter / Campaign Storyteller to help define how our movement speaks — with clarity, courage, and care.
This is not a commercial copywriting role.
It is a truth-led storytelling role.
Our C.I.C. exists to confront and expose the realities of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), centre survivor truth and accountability, support young people into economic empowerment, and build community-owned, open-source systems that serve people rather than capital.
We are:
Values-led
Anti-capitalist
Community-driven
Decentralised by design
We are not here to produce promotional content for clicks alone. We are here to communicate truth responsibly — building trust, inviting participation, and ensuring survivor-centred work is represented with dignity and purpose.
This role offers the opportunity to shape how a movement speaks in public spaces.
About the Role
As our Founding Creative Copywriter / Campaign Storyteller, you will craft clear, compelling, and ethically grounded written content to support digital campaigns, fundraising initiatives, and community engagement during our build and early growth phase.
You will not inherit a finished brand voice or messaging system.
You will help shape and define it.
Your work will translate complex and sensitive issues into accessible, responsible communication. You will help move people toward meaningful action — not passive consumption — while ensuring that every piece of content reflects safeguarding commitments and cultural integrity.
This role blends creativity with strategic thinking. You must be comfortable writing across multiple formats, collaborating with campaign teams, and refining messaging based on feedback and insight.
Experience Qualification and Requirements
Essential / Highly Valued Experience
Strong writing skills for digital audiences across multiple formats.
Demonstrable experience in copywriting, storytelling, or campaign messaging.
Ability to write about serious and sensitive topics without sensationalism or harm.
Understanding of how language influences trust, behaviour, and decision-making.
Experience producing written content across platforms.
Ability to adapt tone and messaging for different audiences and channels.
Willingness to work within trauma-informed, safeguarding, and ethical communication frameworks.
Ability to collaborate with designers, analysts, and campaign leads.
Confidence receiving and applying feedback.
Equivalent professional or voluntary experience accepted.
Desirable / Can Be Developed
Experience working in non-profit, CIC, or community-led organisations.
Experience supporting fundraising or awareness campaigns.
Familiarity with retention, lifecycle, or supporter journey design.
Experience working in safeguarding-led environments.
Ability to adjust storytelling strategy based on performance data and feedback.
Qualifications
Formal qualifications are not required.
Equivalent practical experience in creative copywriting or campaign storytelling is highly valued.
Main Responsibilities / Key Duties
Design, develop, and deliver written and narrative content for digital campaigns during the build and early growth phase.
Create campaign copy across platforms, including social media, website pages, and email campaigns.
Develop core messaging frameworks for fundraising, awareness, and engagement campaigns.
Shape story-led approaches that centre survivor dignity, accuracy, and consent.
Produce scripts, story outlines, and narrative structures for:
Video content
Audio or podcast material
Multimedia campaigns
Adapt messaging for different audiences, platforms, and campaign objectives.
Work closely with designers, analysts, and campaign leads to align story with strategy.
Ensure all written content aligns with safeguarding policies, ethical standards, and tone guidelines.
Maintain consistency of voice and language across digital marketing outputs.
Contribute creative ideas for campaigns, themes, and story-driven initiatives.
Review and refine copy based on performance insights, feedback, and learning.
Support campaign testing and iteration through evidence-informed storytelling.
Flag potential safeguarding, reputational, or ethical risks within content.
Help define and document the C.I.C.’s written voice and storytelling principles.
Support the development of scalable, sustainable content practices not dependent on single individuals.
What You Gain
Founding-level experience in creative copywriting and campaign storytelling.
Strategic exposure to values-led communications and safeguarding-centred messaging.
Leadership insight into managing sensitive information responsibly.
Direct contribution to C.I.C. sustainability and long-term impact.
Opportunity to help define the voice of a survivor-led movement.
Priority consideration for future paid roles as the C.I.C. scales.
This Role Is Not Suitable If You:
Prefer low-responsibility volunteer work.
Prefer writing purely promotional or commercial content.
Are seeking short-term portfolio pieces without commitment.
Are uncomfortable engaging with difficult or emotional subject matter.
Prefer working without collaboration, feedback, or safeguarding frameworks.
Next Steps
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:
A values-led conversation
A practical discussion about creative copywriting and campaign storytelling
If you understand that language carries power — and that storytelling must protect as much as it persuades — we want to hear from you.

Do you want to co-ordinate vegan volunteering?
As an Organiser, you would be the caretaker of your local area. This is the more time-intensive role but so rewarding! Tasks would be emailed to you directly every month by our Volunteering Coordinator, who would be your main point of contact here at The Vegan Society. It would then be your job to send out the task to Advocates in your local area and get feedback from them. You'll also be able to ask your Advocates for help with any stalls and lobbying. Every Organiser receives an outreach pack, including a table runner, leaflets and banners. We make sure you are fully supported with an Organisers' WhatsApp group for socialising and ideas. We also have a monthly gathering on video.
What does the Organiser role involve?
Every month, you will be sent a collection of tasks to choose from. We create these from our programme of campaigns. You would be the point of contact for Advocates in your area, sharing these tasks and coordinating activities, such as stalls and lobbying councillors. We will provide you with a campaign toolkit and be in regular contact with you to ensure you have everything you need. You will also be invited to our private Facebook group and WhatsApp chat.
We would expect you to provide any updates from your group and give feedback on each task. It's vital that we measure the impact that we are having, in terms of positive conversations and leaflets handed out. You can also give us ideas you have for future outreach tasks or campaigning. Many Organisers find a huge sense of satisfaction, improvement in self-esteem and enjoy the social side of volunteering in this role.
You will also be responsible for welcoming new Advocates in your area. We will let you know when somebody new applies, and you will help them to get involved with any activities. As the main contact for Advocates, this role does require some awareness of safeguarding and data protection procedures and policy. There will be full training on your role in this, as well as a handbook and ongoing guidance and support.
What training and support is available?
There will be a full induction to the role, with a gradual introduction of new tasks and responsibilities. To start with, we will provide an initial training session to cover the basics of community organising, communication skills and event planning. This will be done remotely from wherever you are. Along with this, we will provide a full pack of resources that covers a range of work that we do.
From there, there will be regular conversations and reviews, where we can discuss other training requirements. Staff are always available to Organisers for any questions, via phone or email.
What skills would be useful in doing this role?
How much time do I need to invest?
You should be able to commit around two days a month to carry out actions, and this is usually spread out across the month. We also expect timely responses to emails. When a new Advocate applies to work with you, we would like them to be contacted within seven days via email.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

RBB is a mobile grassroots organisation, designed to respond rapidly and flexibly to emerging crises. Our main base of operations is on Chios Island, Greece, where we provide ongoing support to people who are displaced.
Since October 2023, we have also established community-led initiatives to support people affected by the war in Gaza, Palestine, as well as Sudanese and other displaced communities in Cairo, Egypt.
Beyond emergency relief, we remain committed to ongoing support through volunteers, translation services, medical care, aid, and advocacy until either local capacity builds or the situation changes. In addition, our Community Humanitarian Leaders Programme (CHLP) plays a vital role in this approach by strengthening the leadership of people who are displaced by building on their existing skills, networks and lived experience in humanitarian efforts.
Our field team comprises 90% individuals from refugee and asylum-seeking communities, representing Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Gambia, Ethiopia, Palestine, and Yemen. This diverse team is led by our founder and CEO, Ruhi Akhtar, alongside field coordinators / project managers.
We prioritise dignity and equity, involving displaced individuals in decision-making and collaboration. RBB's direct aid includes food, water, shelter, medical supplies, clothing, hygiene packs, and season-specific items like sunscreen or firewood. Needs assessments and communication with affected communities guide our actions, ensuring targeted, person-centered care.
Advocacy & Awareness
RBB amplifies the voices of displaced people by sharing their stories and raising awareness about often-overlooked realities. Through storytelling and advocacy, we aim to challenge injustice and inspire action.
We are a safe space for all people and welcome those who are new to and currently underrepresented on Charity Boards, in particular members who consider themselves to have a disability and those in the global majority. Lived experience of migration or asylum or a commitment to this work is welcomed.
