-
Develop and implement safeguarding policies and procedures tailored to our grassroots context.
-
Provide guidance and training to trustees, volunteers, and programme leads.
-
Be the first point of contact for safeguarding concerns, ensuring swift and sensitive action.
-
Help us build a culture where safety is felt—not just promised.
What You’ll Bring
-
Experience in safeguarding, social care, or community protection (professional or volunteer).
-
A deep understanding of safeguarding legislation and best practice in the UK.
-
Emotional intelligence, discretion, and a calm, decisive approach.
-
A belief that dignity and safety are the foundation of connection.
What You’ll Gain
-
A vital role in shaping a charity that puts people first.
-
The satisfaction of knowing your work protects and uplifts those most in need.
-
A team of visionary changemakers who value your expertise and care.

Employability Gap: Students from less prestigious universities often struggle to gain the real-world work experience and confidence needed for employment.
-
Ineffective Aid: Many top-down educational solutions fail because they lack crucial local context, cultural understanding, and input from the communities they aim to serve.
We are building a global, student-led movement for educational equity, empowering local leaders to solve local challenges.
-
Equal Opportunities Project (EQOP): We deliver free, career-focused courses to students in underserved regions using accessible technology like WhatsApp. The content is co-created with UK university and corporate partners.
-
Impact Champions Project: We are establishing a global network of student-led societies on university campuses. Each society identifies and tackles local education issues with our support, creating a sustainable, "locally led, globally connected" model for change.
Hello! We believe that a student's potential should be determined by their ambition, not their background. Right now, millions of students in underserved communities are being left behind, lacking the guidance and opportunities they need to thrive.
InStudents is changing that. We empower students to become leaders who solve educational challenges within their own communities, from running career courses via WhatsApp in rural India to building a global network of on-campus "Impact Champions".
We're looking for passionate people to help us scale this student-led movement. Whether you have skills in marketing, content creation, project management, or mentoring, your time and expertise can directly help a student discover a new career path or gain the confidence to lead. Join us and help build a world where every student has the chance to succeed.
