Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
Unfortunately, thousands of cats each year are abandoned or have strayed and rely on charities like Cats Protection for help. Becoming a trap, neuter and return (TNR) volunteer is one way you can make a real difference to cats in your local area. Our TNR volunteers help reduce the number of feral cats by raising awareness of our TNR programmes, setting humane traps to safely capture cats, taking them to local vets to be neutered, and hopefully returning them back to their territory. Local TNR programmes are crucial, as feral and abandoned cats present a huge challenge for communities across the UK.
You can expect us to
- Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
- Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
- Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
- Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
You’ll be:
- Trapping cats using humane methods
- Taking cats to local vets to be neutered
- Returning cats to their territory or finding a suitable alternative
The role might also include:
- Regular feeding of feral colonies
- Promoting neutering by building relationships with farmers, land owners and local businesses
- Liaising with vets to promote and arrange neutering
Time expectation
This is a flexible role and the hours will vary depending on the number of cats identified for specific TNR campaigns. Our current TNR volunteers spend about 2 to 3 hours per week in this role which can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
You may be just the volunteer we’ve been looking for!
We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats’ eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats. Join the UK’s leading cat welfare charity and help make a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.

This Role Protects People, Not Just Content
Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. works with survivors, vulnerable adults, young people, and lived-experience storytellers. Content is not neutral here. It carries emotional, legal, and safeguarding weight.
The Content Approval & Safeguarding Coordinator exists to ensure that nothing goes live unless it is safe, ethical, compliant, and aligned with survivor-centred practice.
This role is a gatekeeper role, not a rubber stamp.
Purpose of the Role
This role sits between content creation and public release.
Its purpose is to:
- Protect survivors
- Protect the organisation
- Protect the community
- Ensure compliance with safeguarding, consent, and data protection standards
This role ensures that growth never comes at the cost of safety.
Experience Qualification and Requirements
Essential Experience
- Experience in safeguarding-focused roles where risk assessment, ethical judgement, and protection of vulnerable individuals are central.
- Experience in content moderation, editorial review, compliance, or approval processes involving sensitive or high-impact material.
- Experience working within survivor-led, trauma-informed, or community-based organisations.
- Experience in social care, youth work, community work, or similar environments involving safeguarding responsibilities.
- Experience assessing risk, balancing impact versus harm, and making defensible approval decisions.
Essential Skills
- Strong operational judgement and ability to make clear, consistent decisions under safeguarding and ethical frameworks.
- Excellent attention to detail, particularly around consent, language, framing, and contextual risk.
- Strong written communication skills for documenting decisions, feedback, and escalation summaries.
- Ability to work collaboratively with content, moderation, safeguarding, and campaign teams.
- Confidence following structured protocols and escalating concerns without delay when thresholds are met
Training & Qualifications
- Formal safeguarding training is essential.
- Ongoing training and guidance will be provided to support continuous learning and alignment with CIC standards.
Note: Lived experience alone is not sufficient for this role; demonstrated operational judgement and safeguarding competence are required.
Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
- Review all content prior to publication to identify safeguarding risks, consent clarity, trauma exposure, and inappropriate language or framing.
- Apply content approval protocols consistently, ensuring decisions are aligned with safeguarding, ethical, and organisational standards.
- Ensure survivor testimony and sensitive content comply with informed consent requirements, usage agreements, and platform-appropriate boundaries.
- Assess whether content is suitable for public release, restricted distribution, amendment, or rejection based on risk and impact.
- Liaise closely with key stakeholders to ensure joined-up decision-making, including the Content Librarian / Asset Manager, Community Moderation team, Safeguarding Officer, and campaign leads.
- Maintain clear and auditable records of content approvals, rejections, required amendments, and final outcomes.
- Flag and escalate safeguarding concerns, boundary breaches, and high-risk material promptly in line with CIC escalation pathways.
- Support the development, refinement, and documentation of content approval frameworks and trauma-informed content guidelines.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying recurring risks, gaps in guidance, or training needs related to content safety.
This role is not suitable if you:
- Avoid difficult decisions
- Prefer creative freedom over boundaries
- Are uncomfortable challenging others
- Want fast visibility or public-facing credit
- Are seeking immediate paid employment
Important to Be Clear
This is:
- A volunteer role during the build phase
- A position of trust and responsibility
- Not symbolic — this role has real authority
- Paid roles will be introduced as funding and sustainability allow.
Next Steps
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:
- A safeguarding and judgement-based discussion
- A values and boundaries conversation
If you believe that truth without safety becomes harm, and that accountability must apply internally as well as externally, this role is for you.
A Final Word
Content approval is about people, not posts.
If you know that:
- Consent is a safeguarding responsibility
- Judgement must balance impact and harm
- Trust is protected through ethical restraint
