This Role Turns Digital Campaigns Into Real-World Impact. At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., online fundraising is more than clicks—it’s building a movement.
The Online Fundraising and Campaign Manager ensures that all digital campaigns—from social media drives to crowdfunding initiatives—are strategically designed, executed, and optimised for impact. You will lead online engagement, campaign planning, and donor acquisition strategies, connecting supporters to the CIC’s mission and converting attention into meaningful action. This is not a passive posting role—it is strategic, high-energy, and central to scaling the CIC’s digital impact.

This role exists to:

• Plan, launch, and manage online fundraising campaigns across multiple digital platforms
• Coordinate with Content and Donor Communication Specialists to ensure cohesive messaging
• Analyse campaign performance, adjusting strategies in real time for maximum engagement

• Ensure campaigns comply with safeguarding, ethical, and CIC standards
• Develop creative fundraising initiatives that engage online communities
• Track donor journeys from awareness to contribution, improving retention and growth

You are the digital architect of campaigns that mobilise supporters and funds.

Why This Role Matters

Online fundraising is critical for the CIC’s sustainability:

• It generates immediate and scalable revenue for programmes
• It grows awareness and community support beyond geographic boundaries
• It empowers supporters to engage meaningfully with the CIC’s mission

Without this role, online campaigns risk low engagement, wasted effort, or lost opportunities. With it, the CIC can reach thousands of supporters efficiently and ethically.

• Design and deliver online fundraising campaigns: Plan, implement, and manage end-to-end digital fundraising initiatives across social media, crowdfunding platforms, email marketing, and web-based channels. Ensure campaigns are aligned with organisational goals, audiences, and key fundraising moments.
• Develop innovative engagement strategies: Create and test creative campaign ideas, challenges, peer-to-peer fundraising initiatives, and digital engagement activities that motivate supporters to donate, share, and advocate. Continuously explore new trends and tools in online fundraising.
• Coordinate creative assets: Work collaboratively with Content, Communications, and Donor Engagement teams to develop compelling copy, visuals, videos, and calls to action. Ensure consistent messaging, tone, and branding across all digital channels.
• Campaign optimisation and performance monitoring: Track and analyse campaign metrics such as reach, engagement, conversion rates, donation values, and supporter growth. Use insights to adjust strategies in real time and improve campaign effectiveness.
• Data-driven decision making: Interpret analytics and audience behaviour to refine targeting, messaging, timing, and platform use. Support evidence-based recommendations for future fundraising activity.
• Compliance and ethical standards: Ensure all online fundraising activities comply with relevant regulations, platform terms, safeguarding policies, data protection requirements, and ethical fundraising standards. Promote transparency and donor trust at all stages.
• Reporting and accountability: Prepare clear and timely reports on campaign performance, outcomes, and learning for leadership and stakeholders. Highlight successes, challenges, and recommendations for improvement.
• Volunteer collaboration: Engage and coordinate volunteer teams and digital ambassadors to amplify campaigns, encourage peer sharing, and extend reach within communities and networks. Provide guidance and motivation to support consistent messaging.
• Continuous improvement: Contribute to the development of best practices, templates, and processes for online fundraising. Share learning across teams to strengthen organisational digital fundraising capacity.

• Understands online fundraising and digital campaign strategy
• Can plan, execute, and monitor campaigns independently and collaboratively
• Is creative, data-driven, and solution-oriented

You are a strategic digital leader and campaign innovator.

What You Gain

• Founding-level experience in online fundraising strategy and execution
• Strategic insight into digital engagement and campaign optimisation
• Leadership exposure in managing multi-channel campaigns
• Priority consideration for future paid roles
• Direct contribution to community empowerment and CIC sustainability

This role builds digital strategy, fundraising, and online community leadership skills.

• Prefer low-responsibility volunteer work
• Avoid digital tools, analytics, or campaign strategy
• Are seeking immediate paid employment
• Are uncomfortable managing ethical online engagement and fundraising

Important to Be Clear

• This is a volunteer role during the CIC’s build phase
• It carries real responsibility for digital campaign success and donor engagement
• Paid roles will emerge as funding and sustainability allow

Next Steps

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:

• A values-led conversation
• A practical discussion about campaign strategy, performance, and collaboration

If you believe that digital campaigns can create meaningful impact, and that online engagement is a tool for real-world change, this role is for you.

A Final Word

Fundraising is about people, not just donations.

If you know that:

• Trust is built through transparency, consistency, and care
• Privacy and safeguarding are essential to ethical digital engagement
• Respectful communication strengthens supporter relationships and loyalty

 …then you already understand the heart of effective online fundraising and campaign management.

This Role Is Where Trust Is Built—or Lost
At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., social media is not a marketing channel. It is often the first place someone tells the truth. The first place a survivor speaks. The first place a young person asks for help, direction, or hope. The Social Media Engagement Officer is the human presence behind our platforms — responding, guiding, holding boundaries, and directing people safely into the right parts of our ecosystem. This is not a growth-hacking role. This is a trust, discernment, and care role.
 
Purpose of the Role
The Social Media Engagement Officer ensures that every interaction on our digital platforms is:

• Human, not automated
• Trauma-aware, not reactive
• Boundaried, not extractive
• Purpose-led, not performative

You are the bridge between content and community — between attention and action.

Experience Qualification and Requirements

Essential experience

• Experience in community engagement, online community management, moderation, or customer support where tone, safety, and trust matter.
• Experience communicating in sensitive contexts (e.g., advocacy, youth work, frontline/community roles, safeguarding-adjacent environments).
• Experience handling challenging messages, conflict, harassment, or emotionally charged content with professionalism and calm judgement.

Essential skills & qualities

• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to respond clearly, respectfully, and consistently in public and private channels.
• Emotional regulation and resilience when exposed to distressing content, survivor stories, or hostile interactions.
• Reliability, discretion, and strong boundaries, including comfort following protocols and escalating without delay.
• Ability to apply trauma-informed language and maintain C.I.C tone-of-voice without offering counselling or personal advice.
• Ability to triage and route people appropriately (donations, volunteering, VFAP, podcast submissions, resources) using approved pathways.
• Attention to detail for logging patterns, risks, and recurring needs, and sharing structured feedback with the team.

Desirable 

• Experience engaging across multiple platforms (TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn) and adapting tone to platform norms.
• Familiarity with safeguarding principles, escalation workflows, and online safety practices.

Training & support provided

• Safeguarding protocols and escalation pathways.
• Platform-specific engagement standards and tone-of-voice guidance.
• Escalation and reporting systems, including how to log risks and recurring themes.

Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties

• Monitor comments, replies, and DMs across C.I.C platforms to maintain a safe, respectful, and survivor-centred community environment.
• Respond consistently in alignment with C.I.C values and tone, using trauma-informed language and maintaining clear safeguarding boundaries at all times.
• Direct individuals to the correct pathways and resources, including donation routes, volunteer onboarding, VFAP (Violence-Free Action Pathway), podcast submissions, and approved support information.
• Identify and flag safeguarding concerns immediately to the appropriate role, ensuring that potential risk is not held in engagement channels.
• Escalate high-risk messages using agreed protocols, prioritising urgent or concerning disclosures, threats, harassment, or boundary breaches.
• Help maintain comment spaces that are respectful and free from harassment, minimisation, victim-blaming, grooming behaviour, or abusive language, taking action in line with moderation guidance.
• Support healthy engagement by encouraging constructive dialogue, de-escalating where appropriate, and reinforcing community standards without argument or defensiveness.
• Log patterns, risks, and recurring community needs (e.g., common questions, frequent triggers, misinformation themes, safeguarding hotspots) and feed insights back to the team.
• Work closely with Community Moderation & Safety, Safeguarding, and Campaign/Content teams to ensure joined-up responses and consistent public-facing messaging.
• Maintain confidentiality, discretion, and professional boundaries; you do not counsel, diagnose, or provide emotional support — you route safely and responsibly.

This role is not suitable if you:

• Want to debate or argue online
• Struggle with emotional boundaries
• Seek influencer-style engagement
• Want creative control over content
• Are unable to follow safeguarding procedures strictly

This is not about visibility — it is about responsibility.

Important to Be Clear

• This is a volunteer role during the build phase
• It carries real responsibility and trust
• Emotional maturity is essential
• Paid roles will emerge as the organisation becomes financially sustainable

Next Steps

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:

• A values-led conversation
• A short scenario-based engagement discussion

If you believe that how we respond matters as much as what we post, and that care is an operational function, not a feeling, this role is for you.

 A Final Word
Social media is about people, not platforms.

If you know that:

• Trust is built through presence, care, and consistency
• Boundaries are a form of protection, not distance
• Privacy and consent are safeguarding responsibilities
• How we respond matters as much as what we post

Closing date: Monday, 30th March 2026 at 9.00am

Interview date: Rolling Basis

Are you a proactive, collaborative and compassionate individual with proven experience of working positively with adults to engage successfully despite ‘challenging’ behaviour?  Do you have the ability to be a positive role model, demonstrating the virtues of engaging with treatment support services?

If so, St Giles is looking for a Lived Experienced Peer Volunteer to join our team and provide interventions and build meaningful, peer-led relationships with service users to encourage them to engage in drug and alcohol treatment following arrest.

About St Giles Trust
An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need.  Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others.

About this key role

As a Peer Volunteer, you will increase client engagement with drug and alcohol treatment services by providing vital peer-led support and building trust and motivation among a client group that has been historically disengaged/not offered support previously.  You will provide holistic, short-term intervention to bridge the gap between referral and full treatment engagement, capture client experiences and barriers to improve service design and accessibility and develop a strong service user voice to inform future service improvements.

Areas of support from Peer Volunteers may also include initial engagement and motivation such as welcome calls, check-ins, peer-led conversations and motivational chats over coffee.  You may also offer practical support such as appointment reminders, transport assistance and paperwork support, plus help to build positive routines such as activity-based engagement and supporting small lifestyle changes, including meal planning, budgeting, and time management.

What we are looking for

• Personal experience of the criminal justice system or lived experience of the issues facing this client group (i.e. experience of substance misuse and recovery)
• Proven experience of working in a high intensity environment, being self-motivating, with an ability to effectively manage your own wellbeing
• Knowledge of the issues facing those arrested for potential criminal offences
• Knowledge of, and commitment to, safeguarding practices and policies
• The ability to use monitoring systems to record all aspects of the work
• Excellent interpersonal, relationship-building and communication skills, verbal and written.

Job description

Are you driven by purpose over profit, and motivated to design ethical digital systems that connect awareness to meaningful action?

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is seeking a Founding Volunteer Marketing Automation & Funnel Specialistto help architect the responsible digital infrastructure that supports our growth.

This is not a high-pressure sales automation role.
It is ethical systems design.

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 care.

This role offers the opportunity to help design how a movement grows — responsibly and sustainably.

About the Role

As our Founding Marketing Automation & Funnel Specialist, you will design and maintain the ethical digital workflows that connect campaigns, content, and community engagement.

You will not inherit a finished digital system.
You will help architect it.

Your work will ensure that automation supports participation rather than pressures it. You will design structured, logic-based workflows that guide volunteers, donors, members, and supporters through respectful, safeguarding-aligned digital journeys.

This role blends technical configuration with strategic thinking. You must be comfortable building systems, analysing performance, documenting processes, and collaborating with marketing and leadership teams.

Experience Qualification and Requirements

Essential / Highly Valued Experience

• Experience or strong working knowledge of CRM and marketing automation platforms.

• Understanding of digital funnels and lifecycle journeys.

• Ability to design structured, logic-based workflows (triggers, conditions, segmentation).

• Experience integrating digital systems (email, forms, website, CRM, databases).

• Understanding of digital performance metrics (conversion, retention, engagement rates).

• Ability to document systems clearly and transparently.

• Confidence troubleshooting and improving technical workflows.

• Willingness to work within safeguarding, GDPR, and ethical data frameworks.

• Ability to collaborate with copywriters, analysts, and campaign leads.

• 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 using tools such as Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, Zapier, Salesforce, etc.

• Ability to analyse performance data and adjust workflows strategically.

Qualifications

Formal qualifications are not required.
Equivalent practical experience in marketing automation or funnel systems is highly valued.

Main Responsibilities / Key Duties

• Design, develop, and maintain automated workflows linking campaigns, email systems, forms, and databases.

• Build digital funnels supporting volunteering, fundraising, membership, and community participation.

• Develop logic-based journeys including triggers, segmentation, and conditional pathways.

• Integrate platforms across website, CRM, email systems, and content tools.

• Collaborate with copywriters and campaign teams to align messaging with workflow structure.

• Monitor and evaluate funnel performance using agreed metrics.

• Optimise supporter journeys based on behavioural data and feedback.

• Ensure compliance with GDPR, safeguarding, and consent standards.

• Document workflows clearly and maintain structured systems records.

• Identify inefficiencies and recommend structural improvements.

• Support A/B testing and performance experimentation.

• Flag potential data protection or reputational risks.

• Contribute to building scalable, decentralised digital infrastructure.

• Help define and uphold ethical automation principles within the C.I.C.

What You Gain

• Founding-level experience in ethical marketing automation and systems architecture.

• Leadership exposure in responsible data and infrastructure design.

• Opportunity to build scalable digital systems from the ground up.

• Direct contribution to fundraising sustainability and community growth.

• Cross-functional experience across digital marketing and operational strategy.

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

This Role Is Not Suitable If You:

• Prefer low-responsibility or short-term volunteering.

• Are uncomfortable working within safeguarding and trauma-informed frameworks.

• Prefer not to document or maintain systems.

• Dislike collaboration or structured processes.

Next Steps

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:

• A values-led conversation

• A practical discussion about automation systems and funnel design

If you understand that automation must serve dignity before efficiency, and that data must never compromise trust, we want to hear from you.

• Are seeking purely commercial automation or aggressive sales optimisation work.
