Following the rotation and retirement of two of our existing board members, we are looking for new trustees to join us at P3 Charity. 

If you know P3, you will know we are a charity with a huge sense of purpose. Every day our teams work alongside people who are having a hard time and help them build a life they can feel proud of. Somewhere to live. Someone to love. Something to do. It is simple and it is powerful and it changes lives. 

We want people who feel drawn to that mission. Experienced trustees are very welcome, and so are people looking for their very first board role. What matters most is your curiosity, your commitment to good governance and your belief in people. 

The commitment is very manageable and designed so people with busy lives and full-time jobs can take part. We hold five board meetings across the year, one away day, and our four subgroups meet online. You will be joining a warm, values led organisation with a strong executive team and a Board that takes its responsibilities seriously while keeping its feet firmly on the ground. 

If you want to contribute to something that has real impact in communities across the country, we would love to hear from you.

This Role Holds the Line Where Community Meets Trauma

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is building survivor-centred, community-owned digital spaces where truth-telling, learning, and healing take place. These spaces are powerful — and without strong moderation, they can also become unsafe. The Community Moderation & Safety Lead exists to ensure that our online and digital communities remain safe, boundaried, respectful, and trauma-informed, without becoming policed, silencing, or extractive.

This is not a passive moderation role. It is a systems and safety leadership role.

This role is responsible for:

• Protecting members from harm.
• Preventing retraumatisation.
• Upholding community standards.
• Supporting moderators and volunteers.
• Ensuring safeguarding procedures are followed in real time

• Want purely creative or social engagement.
• Are seeking unstructured peer support roles.

Next Steps
