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

CARIS Families (registered charity name CARIS Camden, charity number 1121919) is a small frontline charity that runs support services for homeless children and their parents living in temporary accommodation hostels in the London Boroughs of Camden and Hackney. 

Families can find themselves homeless for many reasons.  They may be displaced as part of the refugee resettlement process.  They may be fleeing domestic violence or suffering the fallout of relationship breakdown.  They may have simply found themselves priced out of the rental market and lost their home as a result.  With affordable housing and social tenancies increasingly scarce, many children and their parents live in this state of limbo for years on end.  The hostel, in effect, becomes the childhood home, making ‘temporary accommodation’ anything but temporary. 

CARIS Families' frontline mission is twofold: to improve families' day-to-day experiences while in temporary accommodation  and to assist them to move out of homelessness as soon as possible.  We improve day-to-day experiences by providing hostel-based services for families that put back opportunities for children to thrive and that support parental wellbeing.  At the same time, we casework with parents to progress their housing case so the family can move on into a settled home as soon as possible.  In 2025 we supported 108 families and 146 children with play and learning opportunities, school holiday activities, family support work, poverty relief work and housing casework.

In addition to our frontline work, we contribute data and learned experience from our frontline work to academic research and political campaigning with the aim of bringing about reform of harmful temporary accommodation practises, and we support our families to share their lived experience. 

Our turnover in 2024 was £238,555, with the majority of our income coming from trust and foundation grants, of which 4 are multi-year grants.  We do not currently receive any statutory funding.  Please find out more on the Charity Commission website at: CARIS CAMDEN - 1121919

Current context 

We currently have a board of eight trustees and would like to increase the capacity of the board to match our growth, as we expand our hostel reach, family casework and public profile in the campaigns arena. 

We have a Director, a staff team of six and a small cohort of volunteers who deliver our services within the family hostels and further afield. We have a broad support base with the significant impact and value of work recognised by our partners. 

Roles 

We have completed a Trustees skill audit and the following areas were identified as priority skills and expertise needed to support the development of our work: 

• Individuals with lived experience of family temporary accommodation 

• Children’s social workers 

• Teachers or educationalists with an Early Years / KS1 interest, interested in educational inequality

• Academics with interest in sociology, urban geography and social inequality relating to housing rights and children’s life chances 

• Housing and homelessness professionals

• Medical professionals with an interest in child and maternal health in light of social inequalities 

• Corporate, HNW and legacy fundraising professionals 

• IT and technology professionals with expertise in how we can better use technology to drive our work forward and increase impact using our collected data. 

If you don’t quite match the above but feel you have significant skill or knowledge to contribute to our work we’d still love to hear from you. 

Given the demographics of the families we support, we particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic individuals, from people with experience of migration, and from people with lived experience of temporary accommodation.

Expectations for Trustees 

Trustees play a vital role in ensuring the charity is well‑governed, sustainable, and delivering meaningful impact. As a trustee, you will be expected to: 

• Attend all Trustees meetings.  Currently this consists of four meetings per annum, which generally alternate between online delivery and in-person in central London. 

• Attend at least one session of delivery with our staff team each year. 

• Proactively contribute your particular area/s of knowledge, expertise and insight to board discussions and strategic decision-making processes. 

• Be willing to proactively engage in the development of CARIS Families on a three to five-year term.

• Undertake an Enhanced DBS check and online Safeguarding Training course, both organised and funded by CARIS Families. 

While this is a voluntary role, travel expenses within Greater London can be covered to attend meetings and services.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about the role or your decision to apply, we’d welcome a discussion. 

Potentially interested individuals will be invited to have an informal conversation with our Director, followed by a meeting with our Chair of Trustees, prior to suitable individuals being voted in.

Shape the Visual Heart of Our Movement: Graphic Designer (Volunteer)

SUNSHINE Charity – Creative Volunteer Role

Every movement begins with a feeling — a spark of warmth, hope, and human connection. SUNSHINE Charity was born from that spark. We are building a community where people feel seen, valued, and uplifted. But every movement also needs a visual language — imagery that carries its soul.

And this is where you come in........

We’re searching for someone extraordinary

• Someone who understands that design is more than decoration — it is storytelling.
• Someone who knows that colours, shapes, and layouts can make people feel welcome, inspired, and part of something bigger.
• Someone who can help us translate our mission into visuals that shine.

As our Graphic Designer (Volunteer), you will help craft the look and feel of SUNSHINE Charity across digital and print. Your creativity will help us speak clearly, warmly, and boldly to the communities we serve.

What you’ll create and shape

You’ll design a range of materials that bring our mission to life, including:

• Roller banners that introduce SUNSHINE at events and in the community.

• Booklets and guides that support our programmes and volunteers.

• Posters and flyers that spread our message of warmth and belonging.

• Business stationery that reflects our identity with professionalism and heart.

• Social media graphics that carry our voice into the world.

• Any other creative assets that help us grow, connect, and inspire.

You’ll work closely with our Founder, CEO, and Communications Lead to ensure everything we produce feels aligned, uplifting, and unmistakably SUNSHINE.

Why this role matters

A new charity is full of passion — but passion needs expression. It needs visuals that capture its energy. It needs design that feels human, warm, and hopeful.

Your creativity will help us:

• Build a recognisable, trusted identity.

• Communicate with clarity and emotional resonance.

• Reach volunteers, partners, and communities.

• Create materials that feel professional, accessible, and full of heart.

You won’t just be designing graphics — you’ll be shaping the visual language of our entire movement.

Who you are

You don’t need formal qualifications. You don’t need a long portfolio. You just need creativity — and a desire to use it for something meaningful.

If you love designing beautiful, impactful materials… If you enjoy turning ideas into visuals that make people feel something… If you want to help a new charity grow with confidence, clarity, and sunshine…

Then this role was made for you!

Join us

Step into a role where your creativity becomes our voice. Where your designs help people feel welcome. Where your talent helps build a charity rooted in warmth, community, and hope.

• Be the artist behind our sunshine.
• Be the visual storyteller of our movement.
• Be the sunshine.

Fundraising Trustee (Milton Keynes)

This is an exciting opportunity to be a hands-on trustee at branch level, helping to promote kindness and prevent animal cruelty, reach out to more supporters, and influence how we do things. With your support and expertise, we will achieve so much! We’re looking for a dedicated Fundraising Trustee to help us grow our impact and secure vital resources for the animals who need us most.

Overview of the Fundraising Trustee opportunity

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate person who could devote the time to volunteer with us as one of our Trustees. As a Trustee of the Branch, you will have the chance to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives. You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental in the running of the Branch and setting out both the short and long terms aims.

As a minimum, trustees would normally be expected to attend a monthly committee meeting lasting some 2 to 3 hours. However, the commitment may vary depending on whether the trustee takes on additional duties.

About the RSPCA

Founded in 1824 we have been saving animals for almost 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity around. It has always been our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering.

Through our numerous campaigns, we seek to raise standards of care, and awareness of issues, affecting animals today. We rely heavily on our volunteers who play a significant role in enabling us to carry out this important animal welfare work every day!

The RSPCA Milton Keynes & North Bucks Branch

The Milton Keynes & North Bucks Branch is one of the branches of RSPCA, but we are also a separately registered charity looking after animals in our local area. Much of the animal welfare work of RSPCA is carried out through local branches, which is run by volunteers who have the support of the National Society of RSPCA.

• Lead on developing and delivering fundraising strategies
• Help identify new income streams and build relationships with donors, sponsors, and community groups
• Support and advise the board on fundraising best practices

• Experience in fundraising, marketing, or income generation
• Strong networking and communication skills
• A commitment to animal welfare and the values of the RSPCA
• Willingness to attend monthly trustee meetings and contribute time between meetings

Alongside the relevant experience, we are looking for someone who is committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and shares our passion for animal welfare. You would be creative, innovative, bring a fresh perspective, and can put ideas into action.

What we can offer you as a volunteer Branch Trustee

• You’ll work alongside a passionate team and help shape the future of our branch
• Ongoing support is also provided by local and national RSPCA staff in addition to any additional training provided by the branch.
• The platform to utilise your skills and experience to oversee the charity and make decisions that have a direct impact on local animal welfare.
• The opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones, whilst making a real difference to the lives of animals.
• A way to expand your professional and personal network through working with like-minded people.

• Analyse metrics (engagement, reach, growth) and refine tactics based on what resonates.
• Create eye-catching visuals using tools like Canva, with opportunities for video editing and live sessions.

Who We’re Looking For:
• Students, graduates or anyone with knowledge and experience (perfect for resume-building with hands-on strategy experience).
