Job description

Are you driven by purpose over profit, and motivated to use data to strengthen accountability rather than chase vanity metrics?

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is seeking a Founding Volunteer Analytics & Performance Officer to design and oversee the ethical performance framework that will guide our digital decision-making.

This is not a corporate analytics role.
It is an impact and accountability 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 analyse data for growth alone. We are here to use insight ethically — to understand impact, protect trust, and ensure our digital activity serves people, safeguarding, and long-term community power.

This role offers the opportunity to build a performance system that reflects values, not just numbers.

About the Role

As our Founding Analytics & Performance Officer, you will design, coordinate, and maintain the C.I.C.’s digital performance and reporting systems during the build and early growth phase.

You will not inherit a finished analytics framework.
You will help build one that reflects our values.

Your work will ensure that data strengthens strategic decision-making across content, fundraising, and community engagement — while protecting confidentiality, dignity, and safeguarding standards.

This role requires both analytical rigour and ethical awareness. You must be comfortable interpreting data, communicating insight clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and ensuring responsible handling of sensitive information.

• Experience using and interpreting analytics tools such as:

• Ability to track, analyse, and report on key performance indicators including engagement, reach, conversions, and sign-ups.

• Ability to translate data into clear, practical insight for non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to data accuracy and integrity.

• Experience handling data responsibly, including awareness of confidentiality and ethical data use.

• Working knowledge of UK GDPR principles as they apply to digital performance data.

• Ability to manage multiple data sources and reporting requirements simultaneously.

• Confidence supporting teams with insight and recommendations without creating dependency.

• Equivalent professional or voluntary experience accepted.

Desirable / Can Be Developed

• Experience working in non-profit, CIC, or community-led organisations.

• Experience analysing social impact, engagement, or community behaviour data.

• Familiarity with ethical data practices and safeguarding-led environments.

• Experience supporting fundraising, donor engagement, or campaign analytics.

• Basic understanding of digital marketing and online campaign performance measurement.

Qualifications

Formal qualifications are not required.
Equivalent practical experience in analytics and performance management is highly valued.

Main Responsibilities / Key Duties

• Design, coordinate, and oversee the C.I.C.’s digital performance and analytics framework during the build and early growth phase.

• Develop and maintain a coherent performance measurement approach that supports strategic decision-making across teams.

• Ensure analytics practices reflect real organisational goals and values rather than vanity metrics.

• Establish consistent data collection and reporting standards across platforms.

• Oversee appropriate use of analytics and reporting tools.

• Apply UK GDPR principles including data minimisation, accuracy, and appropriate retention.

• Implement controls for sensitive data, including donor, supporter, and community engagement information.

• Ensure performance reporting remains accessible and understandable for volunteers with varied technical confidence.

• Work closely with Safeguarding, Fundraising, and Digital teams to ensure lawful and ethical use of performance data.

• Provide regular insight and recommendations to leadership.

• Help design the long-term analytics and reporting model for the C.I.C.

• Support transition planning from volunteer-led reporting systems to future funded roles.

What You Gain

• Founding-level experience in analytics and performance management.

• Strategic insight into values-led, community-based performance measurement.

• Leadership exposure in managing sensitive data responsibly.

• Direct contribution to C.I.C. sustainability and long-term impact.

• Priority consideration for future paid roles as the C.I.C. scales.

This Role Is Not Suitable If You:

• Prefer low-responsibility volunteer work.

• Avoid handling sensitive data or detailed reporting.

• Are seeking immediate paid employment.

• Are uncomfortable applying analysis to strategic decision-making.

Important to Be Clear

• This is a volunteer role during the C.I.C.’s build phase.

• It carries real responsibility for data integrity and ethical reporting.

• Formal qualifications are not required, but equivalent experience is essential.

Next Steps

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:

• A values-led conversation

• A practical discussion about performance insight, ethical data use, and decision-making

If you believe that data should guide responsibility, accountability, and impact — not just growth — this role is for you.

Message from the Chair of Trustees

The Trustees represent different backgrounds and experiences, but what pulls us together is a

commitment to SEED’s work on the ground in Madagascar. Several of us have been to Madagascar

and have either volunteered or worked with SEED, so we have seen first-hand how important our

work is, and the positive impact SEED has in the communities we serve. Madagascar is an

extraordinary country with exceptional biodiversity but has severely lacking infrastructure and a

high level of anthropogenic threats due to extreme poverty and considerable dependence on

natural resources.

We are looking forward to welcoming a new Chair of our Board of Trustees to join the amazing

team of dedicated staff and volunteers who are delivering sustainable development, conservation

and community work through a range of projects based on local needs. The current Chair has been

benefit of a team containing years of experience, combined with new members who bring global

expertise in their field.

SEED is growing thanks to successful marketing, fundraising project development and delivery. We

development for the people of southeastern Madagascar. We are privileged to work with its

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.

Through a clear digital strategy and consistent messaging, the Social Media Lead strengthens Emerge Worldwide’s credibility and national voice. A strong online presence builds trust with survivors, professionals, schools, corporates and policymakers — opening doors for training, partnerships and funding that directly support prevention and empowerment initiatives.

Consistent, high-quality posting has preventative impact. Educational content about red flags, online grooming, coercive control and intersectional vulnerabilities can help young people recognise harmful behaviour earlier. Parents, carers and teachers may identify warning signs sooner. Increased awareness can interrupt exploitation before it escalates.

Collaboration with the Communications Department ensures language is trauma-informed and safeguarding-aware. Sensitive issues are handled ethically, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and creating a digital environment where survivors feel seen, respected and safe.

Cross-department collaboration ensures campaigns, policy work, education programmes and fundraising initiatives are amplified effectively. This leads to increased attendance at training, stronger campaign mobilisation, greater public engagement and enhanced funding — all of which contribute to tangible protection and support for vulnerable girls and young women.

By analysing performance data, the Social Media Lead helps Emerge Worldwide reach high-risk demographics more effectively. Data-informed decisions improve targeting, engagement and resource allocation, ensuring messaging reaches those most vulnerable.

In summary, the outcomes of this role contribute directly to early identification, public education, cultural awareness and increased access to prevention services. The Social Media Lead helps transform awareness into action — strengthening Emerge Worldwide’s impact in advocating for women and girls against grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

Hello there - we’re Unlock YOUR Potential, a micro/small social‑mobility charity providing employability support to adults across the UK.

We’re looking for a proactive, organised and mission‑driven Volunteer Project Manager who can volunteer their time to help us set up and launch our new charity. This is a short‑term, high‑impact role supporting the Founder directly — and you will be the first operational volunteer to join the organisation, alongside a small team of graphic designers.

About Unlock YOUR Potential

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe an “accident of birth” should never determine a person’s destination. We are committed to breaking cycles of deprivation through holistic employability, wellbeing, and mentoring programmes that empower adults to thrive.

We are prioritising delivery in areas that rank among the top 10% most deprived nationally for employment and skills. The need is real. The talent is abundant. The opportunity for impact is extraordinary.

What this role involves

We need a volunteer Project Manager who can take the lead on planning, coordinating and driving forward the essential tasks required to get us launch‑ready.

You will work closely with the Founder to:

• Develop clear project plans, timelines and action lists for the charity’s set‑up and launch

• Establish early operational processes, workflows and simple systems

• Track progress, identify risks, and keep the Founder focused on priorities

• Coordinate tasks across design, operations, service development and early marketing

• Support the Founder with recruiting the wider volunteer team needed to deliver our services

• Help shape the structure and foundations of a brand‑new social‑mobility charity

Your work will directly influence how quickly and effectively we can begin supporting adults who face the highest barriers to employment and skills.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in project management, operations, or organisational planning

• Someone who is structured, reliable, and comfortable creating order from ambiguity

• A collaborator who enjoys building things from scratch

• A person who cares deeply about social mobility, fairness, and opportunity

• Someone who can commit time over the next few weeks/months to help us reach launch

Why this role matters

Your contribution will shape the charity at its earliest and most critical stage. You won’t just be managing tasks — you’ll be helping build the foundations of an organisation designed to unlock potential for thousands of adults across the UK.

If after you have supported us and want to continue to volunteer with us, that option is available to you but for this particular project we need a short-term volunteer to help us in the start-up/launch phase).
