About Roots Academy
Roots Academy’s Vision.
A generation of young Muslims who embody and promote a God-centred way of life.
At Roots Academy, we’ve built a learning experience that’s changing the lives of the ummah’s future leaders, change-makers, and visionaries. Our mission is to deliver a structured and transformative education in the Essentials of Islam in a way that lowers barriers to access, develops deep certainty, and inspires action.
Why Does Roots Academy Exist?
Crisis of Faith: 1 in 4 young Muslims are leaving the religion due to various factors, primarily the pervasive anti-religious content and temptations they encounter online and offline.
Roots Academy exists to bridge this gap by providing a structured and transformative Islamic education that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of young Muslims today, delivered in an engaging and accessible form that provokes thought and action.
Role Summary
To bring our vision to life, you will play a key role in shaping how Roots Academy’s message is delivered visually. As a Video Editor, you will be responsible for editing high-quality, engaging video content that supports our educational programs, strengthens our online presence, and helps our content resonate deeply with audiences across social platforms.
Key tasks
- Edit short-form and long-form video content for platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and other digital channels.
- Apply consistent pacing, subtitles, branding, and visual style in line with Roots Academy guidelines.
- Collaborate closely with content leads, instructors, and the marketing team to deliver videos aligned with campaign goals.
- Manage feedback, revisions, and version control efficiently.
- Organise and maintain video assets and project files in shared drives.
What we’re looking for
- Passion for Islamic education and contributing to the development of young Muslims.
- Strong video editing skills using tools such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or equivalent.
- An eye for storytelling, pacing, and visual clarity — especially for short-form social content.
- Ability to meet deadlines and manage multiple edits at once.
- Clear communication and openness to feedback.
What we have to offer
- Be part of a team of 100+ dedicated volunteers across the UK, Ireland, Canada, US, UAE, and Australia.
- Receive continuous rewards for those who seek Islamic knowledge through the Roots platform.
- Be part of a growing organisation focused on grassroots revival and education.
- Access to in-house tarbiyah sessions to develop your deen.
Please note: This is an unpaid volunteer position.
Volunteers are entitled to claim expenses incurred for food, travel, and equipment, in line with our Expenses Policy.

We are looking for a finance professional to join our engaged and friendly board as Treasurer, with specific oversight of the charity’s financial management. While day-to-day financial administration is carried out by employees or external providers, the Treasurer works closely with them and the Board to ensure sound financial governance. The Treasurer provides financial leadership, helps trustees understand the organisation’s finances, and ensures that the charity meets its financial and statutory obligations.
You will have a qualification in Financial Management, Accounting, or Audit, or perhaps be a senior Finance Manager or Director in a charity. We welcome applications from people for whom this is their first Treasurer role, but we are seeking candiates who have some understanding and/or experience of the charity sector. We are willing to provide access to training around the treasurer role, but a basic knowledge of charity accounting and financial management would be a strong advantage.
You will have the ability to communicate financial information clearly to those without financial expertise and be a strategic thinker, with the ability to balance financial scrutiny with broader trustee responsibilities.
Our board meet once a month (either virtually or in person in London) for around 90 minutes. We aim to have strategy days twice a year. You will meet with the CEO and Finance Manager once a month, and be available for ad hoc emails, advice. Trustees are usually appointed for a three-year term, which can usually be extended.
You will also bring a commitment to the values, aims, and objectives of the charity, and a desire to help children and young people who have experienced grief.
