The Role

We are seeking a creative, strategic, and people‑centred Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact to lead REMIX’s outward‑facing work. This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial role for someone who loves storytelling, relationship‑building, and amplifying a movement’s voice.

Time commitment: 5–10 hours per week, including:

• Bi‑monthly Board meetings

• Working groups and leadership sessions

Key Responsibilities

As Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact, you will:

Brand & Communications

• Lead REMIX’s brand identity, tone of voice, and visual presence across all platforms.

• Amplify REMIX’s presence across London, ensuring we are seen, heard, and trusted.

This role blends creativity, strategy, communications, partnerships, and impact — perfect for someone who loves connecting people, telling powerful stories, and driving growth.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous experience in all areas — we welcome people stepping into leadership for the first time. What matters most is your passion, creativity, and ability to bring people together.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• Creative, entrepreneurial, and excited by building something new.

• A strong communicator with excellent people skills.

• Confident working collaboratively with the CEO, Trustees, volunteers, and partners.

• Equally comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

Experience in communications, partnerships, fundraising, marketing, or brand development is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong creative and relational skills.

Why Join REMIX?

• Play a central role in shaping the outward identity of a start‑up charity with huge potential.

• Help build a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.

• Influence how REMIX is seen, understood, and supported across London.

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

Do you have a flair for communication and a desire to help us reach more people?

As a Marketing & Communications Assistant, you will work closely with the Project Leader to spread the word about our amazing Akioke Karaoke Confidence Club. You'll help us promote the club to potential members, volunteers, and the wider community, ensuring its success and sustainability.

REMIX

To empower. To inspire. To transform.

The Widening Participation Officer tries to recruit, engage and support as many 16-18 year old volunteers as possible across all of our chapters, with particular focus on those that’d benefit the most from additional WP volunteers, often those
chapters doing the most events.

Due to the sizable scope of the role, the WP Subcommittee is there to help as needed. This is primarily through admin work. You should ensure that you have a suitable number of keen volunteers within the subcommittee that you can delegate tasks to, ensuring that they were well informed, supported and any tasks followed up. This is likely to involve plenty of messaging and occasional meetings.

A primary part of the role that you can delegate is to conceptualise and write the policy for managing 16-18 year old volunteers. This should have a focus on appropriate safeguarding and you can get input from the subcommittee and other Trustees/Officers but should include things like recruitment methods, required paperwork, risk assessments, management at events etc. These policies need to then be communicated effectively to committee and volunteers. 

There are several ways that WP volunteers should be recruited. Schools/6th Forms should be proactively reached out to and a long-term connection formed, ideally through a named person such as a head of year, head of medicine applications or career progression advisor. They can then pass the information on to their students using a range of methods ranging from email to sending a video to, if the local chapter is keen or a member of the subcommittee is nearby, an  in-person visit to an assembly or lunchtime/after-school training session.  

Efforts should be made to build relationships with National bodies that provide volunteering or work experience to 16-18 year olds such as In2MedSchool and Medic Mentor, working closely with them to advertise our volunteering to their
students. 

Once students are interested, they should be able to register as volunteers and attend an Introduction Training session. This can be a WP-specific session with particular focus on benefits and support for WP volunteers such as Duke of Edinburgh hours.

Once volunteers are involved, they should be supported through their time with us including email updates, check-ins, social media posts and training sessions around key times such as university applications.

Finally, of particular note, you should work with the Conference Officer to ensure that WP volunteers are supported in attending the Annual National Conference, in a safe way and have talks of interest to them.
