Job description

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is seeking a Founding Volunteer Analytics & Performance Officer to design and oversee the ethical performance framework that will guide our digital decision-making.

This is not a corporate analytics role.
It is an impact and accountability role.

Our C.I.C. exists to confront and expose the realities of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), centre survivor truth and accountability, support young people into economic empowerment, and build community-owned, open-source systems that serve people rather than capital.

We are:

• Values-led

• Anti-capitalist

• Community-driven

• Decentralised by design

We are not here to analyse data for growth alone. We are here to use insight ethically — to understand impact, protect trust, and ensure our digital activity serves people, safeguarding, and long-term community power.

This role offers the opportunity to build a performance system that reflects values, not just numbers.

About the Role

As our Founding Analytics & Performance Officer, you will design, coordinate, and maintain the C.I.C.’s digital performance and reporting systems during the build and early growth phase.

You will not inherit a finished analytics framework.
You will help build one that reflects our values.

Your work will ensure that data strengthens strategic decision-making across content, fundraising, and community engagement — while protecting confidentiality, dignity, and safeguarding standards.

This role requires both analytical rigour and ethical awareness. You must be comfortable interpreting data, communicating insight clearly to non-technical stakeholders, and ensuring responsible handling of sensitive information.

• Experience supporting fundraising, donor engagement, or campaign analytics.

• Basic understanding of digital marketing and online campaign performance measurement.

Qualifications

Formal qualifications are not required.
Equivalent practical experience in analytics and performance management is highly valued.

Main Responsibilities / Key Duties

• Design, coordinate, and oversee the C.I.C.’s digital performance and analytics framework during the build and early growth phase.

• Develop and maintain a coherent performance measurement approach that supports strategic decision-making across teams.

• Ensure analytics practices reflect real organisational goals and values rather than vanity metrics.

• Establish consistent data collection and reporting standards across platforms.

• Oversee appropriate use of analytics and reporting tools.

• Apply UK GDPR principles including data minimisation, accuracy, and appropriate retention.

• Implement controls for sensitive data, including donor, supporter, and community engagement information.

• Ensure performance reporting remains accessible and understandable for volunteers with varied technical confidence.

• Work closely with Safeguarding, Fundraising, and Digital teams to ensure lawful and ethical use of performance data.

• Provide regular insight and recommendations to leadership.

• Help design the long-term analytics and reporting model for the C.I.C.

• Support transition planning from volunteer-led reporting systems to future funded roles.

What You Gain

• Founding-level experience in analytics and performance management.

• Strategic insight into values-led, community-based performance measurement.

Following the success of the 2025 Council Climate Action Scorecards last year, Climate Emergency UK is looking to create the third edition of the Action Scorecards. Analysing council climate action only becomes valuable if you track the progress that has been made. Therefore, we are looking for volunteers to assist us in managing the Freedom of Information (FOI) requests we are sending to councils to answer some of the Scorecard questions.

Why are we doing this?

We’re in a climate and ecological crisis and local councils have the power and influence over around 30% of emissions in their local area. Councils are uniquely placed to make a real impact on emissions within their area. We know that councils are listening to the Scorecards results and taking more effective action. The average score in the 2025 Action Scorecards increased by 7 percent points. The Scorecards are a campaigning tool that residents can use to hold their council to account on their climate action, and lobby for specific, targeted change. We have also found evidence of 34% councils using and referencing the Scorecards in committee meetings, reports or in their own press releases and organisations across the sector are utilising the data from the Scorecards as well. Finally, this UK wide assessment will demonstrate where the UK and devolved governments need to provide more support to local authorities in order for them to take even further action.

How can you help?

We need at least 200 volunteers to pull this project off! We are sending councils a small number of FOI requests in order to answer some of the Scorecard questions. We have already written the FOI requests, and we need volunteers to manage the FOI request responses from all 400 councils and input their answers into our Scorecards. 

What experience do I need?

We will provide training so you don’t need any experience. If you have previous experience of sending FOI requests using WhatDoTheyKnow or reading responses to FOI requests that would be useful but not necessary in order to apply.

What will I gain?

This is a great opportunity if you want to work with FOI/EIR requests in the future. As you’ll be processing a variety of FOI requests from different council types across the UK, you will gain a deep understanding of the FOI request process and strengthen your analytical skills as you read and interpret the responses. By helping with this project you will be making a real contribution to the fight against the climate crisis.

What we need from you

You will need to be available to attend the following sessions:

• Volunteer induction
  You will only need to attend an induction session on either Tuesday 19th May or Thursday 21st May 2026.

• FOI Training
  You will need to attend the training session on 26th May 2026 from 5:30-7:30pm.

Scorecard FOI requests volunteers will be carrying out crucial tasks to manage the thousands of FOI responses we will be submitting. Using WhatDoTheyKnow you will be logging whether a council has responded to an FOI request and extracting the answers to create a data set of answers that will be used to mark councils in the Scorecards. Every volunteer will be trained and supported to manage the FOI responses.

Each FOI request will take between 10-30 minutes to classify and extract responses and the more you do, the quicker you will become. This can be done flexibly according to your scheduling needs. Our core FOI volunteers should be able to give 10 hours per week for 5 weeks between 25th May 2026 and 19th June 2026. You will need access to a laptop or computer with good internet for this volunteer position in order to access WhatDoTheyKnow.

Note: We will not accept current Councillors or Officers (Parish/Town councillors/officers are free to apply). 

How it works

• You will receive training on how to use WhatDoTheyKnow and manage the FOI responses.

• You will use WhatDoTheyKnow Projects to first classify and then extract information from FOI requests as we receive responses from councils across the country. 

• You will be supported through online communication with other volunteers across the country.

• You will be supported on Slack so at any point you will be able to ask questions of CE UK staff and other volunteers. There will also be an optional weekly FOI team co-working session, where you can work with CE UK staff and other volunteers, ask questions and get to know the other volunteers.
