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

This role is working therapeutically alongside a child/young person on one of our bereavement support programmes in a group setting.  Ideally you will have experience in working with children.

You will be working therapeutically with your allocated child.  You will have a group leader who will guide you through the structure of each day. There is also a program manager who will oversee and facilitate the whole weekend program.

You will also be expected to attend a debrief at the end of the weekend and also complete detailed documentation on the child/ young person you have been working with.

Lunch and refreshments will be provided during a weekend.  We will pay 45 pence per mile to cover your travel expenses. We will provide training (Safeguarding Children, Volunteer Induction Day and other specialist training days).

You will also have the opportunity to observe a weekend programme in action before you work with a child / young person. We will pay for your DBS check and provide you with a t-shirt with our logo on.
