- Proven experience in IT support, systems administration, or helpdesk-style environments.
- Hands-on experience managing user accounts, access control, and routine systems tasks.
- Familiarity with ERP systems, helpdesk tools, or internal business platforms.
- Experience working with tools such as Bitrix, ClickUp, Teamplate, or comparable systems.

Are you passionate about changing the way we treat animals? Do you want to help reduce environmental damage? Do you want to inspire people to enjoy healthy vegan food that both looks good and tastes great?
The Vegan Society aims to make veganism more accessible. We help people to adopt a vegan lifestyle by supporting individuals, policy- and decision-makers, caterers, manufacturers, healthcare professionals and the media.
Why do we need you?
We are seeking a volunteer to support the curation and coordination of The Vegan Campout 2026 Family Area line-up. The role will focus on identifying, researching and contacting vegan entertainers and activity providers who work with children with the aim of securing at least 10 volunteer-led sessions across the weekend.
What does the role involve?
The volunteer will research online and across social media platforms to identify suitable individuals or organisations, including children’s entertainers, artists, musicians, performers, storytellers, sports instructors, craft facilitators and creative practitioners. Activities should cater for both extroverted and introverted children and may include sessions such as Zumba, mask making, painting, creative writing, music workshops, movement sessions or storytelling. The theme of the activity does not need to be explicitly vegan, but all facilitators must be vegan and all materials used must be vegan.
The volunteer will make initial contact with potential contributors, clearly explaining that this is an unpaid opportunity in exchange for free weekend tickets to Vegan Campout 2026. Each facilitator would deliver one hour of engaging activity for children during the festival.
The volunteer will collect essential information from confirmed facilitators, including business details for promotion, confirmation of DBS status, safeguarding information and a short description of their proposed session. Our Education Officer, Laura Diamond will provide the volunteer with the information capture form to send to confirmed facilitators, ensuring all required personal and safeguarding details are collected consistently.
The target outcome is a minimum of five confirmed acts for Saturday and five for Sunday, totalling at least 10 contributors secured by the end of April 2026. As a thank you for their contribution, the volunteer undertaking this role will also receive a free weekend ticket to Vegan Campout 2026.
What training and support is available?
Laura will provide tasks, offer guidance, review proposed facilitators and give feedback. We will plan a check-in meeting once a fortnight to review progress, discuss leads and agree next steps. Additional communication via email can take place as needed.
What skills would be useful in doing this role?
-
competent online research skills
-
experience of working in events useful but not essential
-
strong written and verbal communication skills
-
competent using Microsoft Office
-
the ability to work independently
What does my availability need to be?
Volunteer hours can be flexible across the week depending on the volunteer’s availability. The role is task-focused rather than time-bound, though consistent weekly engagement will be needed to secure the required number of acts within the timeframe. The role does not need to take place strictly during working hours. Some flexibility at the beginning would be helpful to allow occasional meetings within standard working hours. Once the volunteer is confident and working independently, most tasks can be completed outside of standard working hours.
Who does this role report to?
Laura Diamond, Education Officer, will support the volunteer.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

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

Faith to Faithless is Humanists UK’s support programme for so-called ‘apostates’; those who leave high-control religions.
The service is led by mostly ex-religious people themselves, who have knowledge and experiences of apostate communities facing serious and systemic issues. These issues range from emotional and physical abuse from family members, friends, and peers in their community, through homelessness, job loss, shunning, and so-called ‘honour-based’ abuse, to systemic failures by statutory organisations to support apostates.

We hold weekly online peer support events via Zoom for individuals who have left high-control religious groups. These sessions provide a safe, facilitated space where participants can connect with others who share similar experiences. Each Thursday, from 19:00–20:00, a pair of facilitators lead a conversation on a relevant topic with a group of approximately 10 participants. The rota is flexible; volunteers are asked to commit to hosting or assisting the host at least once a month, and possibly every two weeks.
We are looking for compassionate, reliable volunteers to help create a welcoming, structured, and emotionally safe environment where participants feel heard, respected, and connected. If you think that might be you, please take a look at the full role description and consider applying.

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. This is not a passive admin role. This is infrastructure-building.
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
- Survivor dignity
- Safeguarding compliance
- Operational efficiency
Without this role, scale fails.
Experience Qualification and Requirements
Essential:
- Experience in digital asset management, content operations, knowledge management, archiving, or media library administration.
- Experience creating and maintaining structured systems (folders, naming rules, tags, metadata) at scale.
- Experience logging and tracking assets accurately, with strong attention to detail and consistency.
- 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.
- Familiarity with content governance: approvals, safeguarding clearance markers, and usage rights tracking.
- Experience building content calendars or supporting distribution workflows.
Helpful tools (welcomed, not required)
- Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion, Airtable, or similar documentation / content systems.
- DAM platforms or structured media library tools.
- Familiarity with file naming conventions and metadata frameworks.
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.
If you know that:
Order protects dignity and safety
Structure is a safeguarding issue
Consistency keeps systems trustworthy
