Are you highly organised, people-focused, and passionate about creating safe, meaningful experiences for communities? Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is seeking a Retreat Support & Member Travel Liaison to support the planning, coordination, and delivery of retreats, gatherings, and in-person programmes for survivors, young people, and community members. This plug-in role is essential to ensuring that members can participate in transformative experiences with clarity, dignity, and practical support.

As Retreat Support & Member Travel Liaison, you will coordinate the logistical and communication aspects of member participation in retreats and events. You will act as a key point of contact for travel planning, accommodation coordination, accessibility needs, and member queries before, during, and after retreats. Working closely with programme leads, clinical and safeguarding teams, and community managers, you will help ensure retreats are delivered smoothly, safely, and in alignment with our values-led, anti-capitalist, community-driven mission.

• Strong organisational skills with high attention to detail
• Ability to manage multiple tasks, timelines, and communications calmly and reliably

• Confidence supporting participants who may be anxious, unfamiliar with travel, or attending for the first time
• Ability to handle sensitive and personal information confidentially, in line with safeguarding and data protection policies
• Ability to work collaboratively with programme leads, facilitators, venues, and volunteers
• Proactive problem-solving skills and sound judgement when escalating concerns
• Reliability and responsiveness during pre-event and live delivery periods
• Alignment with values of care, respect, and participant-centred delivery

Desirable / Can Be Developed

• Good understanding of, or willingness to learn, safeguarding and wellbeing protocols
• Confidence using digital tools for scheduling, communication, and record-keeping (e.g. email, shared documents, spreadsheets, CRM or event platforms)
• Experience supporting vulnerable groups, community programmes, or residential retreats
• Willingness to contribute to improving systems and processes through reflection and feedback

Qualifications

• Formal qualifications not required; relevant professional, voluntary, or lived experience is valued

Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties

• Coordinate member travel logistics: Provide clear guidance on transport options, arrival and departure details, accommodation information, and local travel considerations. Support members to plan journeys confidently while balancing consistency, cost-awareness, and accessibility needs.
• Primary point of contact for members: Act as a calm, reliable, and approachable contact for participants attending retreats or in-person programmes. Respond to queries promptly, clearly, and sensitively, recognising that travel and participation can be stressful or unfamiliar for some members.
• Support retreat and programme planning: Work alongside programme leads to support retreat schedules, attendance tracking, check-in processes, and on-the-day coordination. Assist with practical arrangements that enable facilitators to focus on delivery and participant care.
• Liaison with venues and teams: Coordinate with venues, facilitators, and internal teams to ensure accommodation, access, catering, room set-up, and transport arrangements meet programme needs, safeguarding standards, and agreed expectations.
• Accessibility, wellbeing, and safeguarding: Proactively identify potential accessibility barriers, wellbeing needs, or safeguarding concerns shared by participants. Escalate issues promptly and appropriately to designated leads, following organisational safeguarding procedures.
• Data management and compliance: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of participant details, travel arrangements, access requirements, and communications. Ensure all information is handled confidentially and in full compliance with GDPR and data protection policies.
• Post-retreat follow-up and evaluation: Support post-programme processes, including follow-up communications, feedback collection, and contribution to evaluation activities. Help ensure participant experiences inform learning and continuous improvement.
• Systems and process development: Contribute to the creation and refinement of checklists, guides, templates, and systems that improve the consistency, care, and efficiency of future retreats and in-person programmes. Share learning and practical insights with the wider team.

What This Role Offers You:

• Practical leadership experience supporting impactful retreats and in-person programmes.
• Opportunity to contribute directly to transformative experiences for survivors and marginalised communities.
• Personal growth through service-led, community-centred work in a values-driven organisation.
• The satisfaction of helping members feel supported, informed, and safe as they engage in deep personal and collective development.

What This Role Is Not For:

• Individuals seeking hands-off or purely behind-the-scenes work with no member interaction.
• Those unwilling to work flexibly around programme timelines or respond to live operational needs.
• People expecting rigid structures or corporate event management environments—this role requires adaptability, care, and collaboration.

If you are ready to support powerful in-person experiences and ensure members can engage fully, safely, and confidently, we want to hear from you. Apply now and help us deliver retreats that foster healing, connection, and transformation.

A Final Word
Logistics are about people, not just plans.

If you know that:

• Trust is built through clear communication, care, and reliability
• Privacy and safeguarding are essential when supporting travel and participation
• Respectful, attentive support helps people feel safe and welcomed

…then you understand the heart of effective retreat support and member travel liaison.

Securing a decent home in Leeds continues to be a challenge for a great number of people, young and old. Housing stock is limited, particularly for people on limited means.

Position Title: VLT member
Reporting to: Volunteer Leadership Team (VLT) - Volunteer Lead
Organisation: Sevenoaks Welcomes Refugees (SWR)
Location: Sevenoaks Town and surrounding areas within the district council area
Time Commitment: 2-3 hours per week
Remuneration: Voluntary Position (Expenses Reimbursed)
Background to the charity
Sevenoaks Welcomes Refugees is a local charity formed in March 2017. We are a small and growing charity, whose volunteers and supporters have come together to welcome and help support the refugees who have fled the fighting and persecution in Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine, and are now resettling in our community.
Starting with just one refugee family, we have expanded our efforts over the years and are proud to have supported about 50 families as they settle and rebuild their lives in our community.
Purpose of Role:
Would you like to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of refugee families as they settle into life in Britain—supporting them to achieve independence and integrate confidently into their new communities?
As a member of the SWR Voluntary Leadership Team (VLT), you will contribute to the effective delivery of core services for refugees and help support and coordinate our valued volunteers.
Our work spans general support with settling in, integration, building independence, language learning, educational guidance, and assistance in accessing suitable employment. In this role, you’ll work closely with other VLT members, with a particular focus on the general support function, collaborating with volunteer teams and ensuring they are well-informed, resourced, and confident in providing person-centred support.
This is a chance to contribute meaningfully within a growing, well-regarded charity, alongside a dedicated and compassionate team of volunteers who share your passion for helping others.
Key Responsibilities:
● Support communication between lead volunteers and central SWR services to help source equipment or assistance for families.
● Help oversee the changing needs of families, recognising that support levels will gradually reduce as independence builds.
● Collaborate with local authority support workers where families are still receiving formal assistance.
● Assist in developing and tracking Path to Independence Plans for families.
● Liaise with team leads across Education, Language, and Employment functions.
● Keep the Volunteer Lead and wider VLT informed as appropriate.
Skills & Qualities Needed
You should be:
● Compassionate, patient, and non-judgmental
● A good communicator, both in writing and in person
● Organised, with strong attention to detail
● Flexible and culturally sensitive to varying family needs
● Reasonably confident with IT tools (email, shared files, online forms, etc.)
Experience in teaching, social care, or charity work is useful, but not essential. A genuine interest in helping others and working collaboratively is most important.
Support & Training Provided
All SWR volunteers are expected to complete an induction, including mandatory safeguarding training. We also provide training on cultural awareness to help volunteers support families sensitively and effectively.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage you to highlight any specific adjustments that would enable you to participate fully in the recruitment process.

Community Companions support patients by offering befriending. It’s a gratifying role for someone reliable, a good listener, and with a few hours during the working week to spare. We provide a comprehensive training package and ongoing peer support sessions. We ask for a commitment of at least six months for two hours a week.

This role does not involve offering counsel, providing clinical care, or giving advice or information. You will be signposting to professional support where needed.

As a volunteer, you will meet a wide variety of people with unique backgrounds and personal stories to share. You will discover new talents and skills you didn’t even know you had. Most importantly, you will build lasting connections and make new friends who share your passion for helping others!

Volunteers help in many ways, from making drinks and providing much-needed one-to-one attention for clients, to supporting outings, maintaining our building, assisting carer groups, and running fundraising events or campaigns. Each volunteer’s contribution plays a crucial role in supporting our work.

You will join the Headway Black Country team and work alongside dedicated individuals who make a real difference in the lives of those we serve.

We prefer volunteers to commit for at least six months, with a minimum of one half-day per week. This ensures you can make a meaningful and lasting impact while fitting the role into your schedule.
