About Us

We're a UK-based non-profit, pre-startup, with over 20 years of community participation and engagement — working alongside some of society's most vulnerable people.

We're looking for a video editor who wants to be part of this journey — someone who can tell a story with heart and is interested in creating real social impact.

Project Overview

Video is central to how we tell our story. We've got existing footage, screen recordings and a working product demo — the raw material is there, but it needs shaping into a set of short, polished, persuasive videos that can sit alongside our pitch deck and outreach.

This is an editing job — turning existing material into clear, emotive short films for funders, investors and a wider non-expert audience. We'd start with a small first batch to check fit, with ongoing work as we build out a library of short videos.

What Needs To Be Done

Re-edit our existing video into a tighter, cleaner cut

• Refresh the product demo videos 
• Cut a new founder intro
• Assemble around four separate clips into one cohesive piece
• Edit field/interview footage into a short promo showing how hard it currently is for vulnerable people to find help

• Produce short (2–3 minute) comparison videos 

• Add captions/subtitles and light graphics, with versions suitable for both presentations and social media

What We're Looking For

• Strong short-form video editing (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut)
• Comfortable editing both talking-head/interview footage and screen recordings
• Captions/subtitles, lower-thirds and light motion graphics
• Able to cut for social/short-form (vertical) as well as for presentations
• A strong story sense — making a clear, emotive narrative that lands with non-expert audiences
• Based in a European time zone (UK hours overlap is important)
• Proactive communicator — regular updates, no radio silence
• Experience with charity or mission-driven content is a plus

As a Volunteer Transcriber, you will play a vital role in ensuring the voices of our veterans are preserved for future generations. You will transcribe audio interviews into accurate, high-quality written records that are accessible, readable, and valuable for educational and research purposes.

Many of the interviews already feature AI-generated transcripts, but these lack the nuance and accuracy that only a human touch can provide. By transcribing interviews, you will enhance the quality of our archive and help honour the experiences of the veterans we serve.

What the Role Involves

• Listening to recorded oral history interviews and typing what is said into a transcript template
• Helping to make interviews more searchable and accessible
• Checking spelling, names and military terms where needed
• Working carefully and respectfully with personal memories and historical testimony

Volunteer Drivers – Make a Real Difference in Birmingham

Are you a confident and considerate driver looking for a way to give back to your community? Join our Dependency and Recovery Service as a Volunteer Driver and help people take their first steps toward a positive future.

• Use your own vehicle to provide a safe, welcoming, and supportive journey.
• Work alongside our Dependency and Recovery Coordinators and other volunteers to help people transition smoothly back into the community.

Why this role matters

Leaving prison can be overwhelming. Your support helps reduce anxiety and builds trust, giving people the best chance to engage with services and make positive changes.

What we’re looking for

• Patience and resilience – building trust takes time.
• A positive role model who is punctual, honest, and reliable.
• Someone who treats others with respect and empathy.

What you’ll receive

• Comprehensive training and ongoing support.
• A dedicated supervisor to guide you in your role.
• The chance to make a real difference in someone’s life.

Practical details

• You’ll need your own vehicle and a valid driving licence, MOT and insurance
• Must have at least 2 years driving experience on a full licence
• Must not have been disqualified for drink/drug driving in the last 5 years
• Must not have any points for any major offences on the driving licence
• Mileage expenses are reimbursed
• Availability - Monday/Tuesday/ Wednesday or Thursday during the mornings

Please see attached role description for full details

This post will be subject to an Enhanced DBS and Enhamced Level 1 vetting for Prison and Probation services
