Our charity application is submitted. Our Trustees are in place. Our first pilot programmes are ready to launch. Now we are looking for someone warm, organised, and community‑minded to help shape and support the delivery of SUNSHINE’s local services.

Could you be our Community Services Manager?

We’re searching for someone who understands the power of community — someone who knows that when people come together, joy grows, confidence returns, and loneliness begins to lift.

• Good organisation and communication skills

• A passion for community, wellbeing, and social impact

• Experience or interest in community programmes, events, or group facilitation

• A collaborative spirit and a willingness to get stuck in

• A commitment to creating safe, welcoming, inclusive spaces

As a Community Services Manager, you’ll work closely with our Head of SUNSHINE Services, our volunteers, and our Founder & CEO to support the smooth running of our community activities — from coffee mornings to wellbeing workshops to digital inclusion sessions.

What you’ll help us build

• Warm, welcoming community sessions where people feel seen, supported, and uplifted.

• Smooth programme coordination, ensuring volunteers, venues, and participants are all supported.

• A friendly presence at sessions, helping create a safe, joyful atmosphere.

• Clear communication and support for volunteers, ensuring they feel confident and prepared.

• A community feedback loop, helping us learn, adapt, and grow our services.

• A neighbourhood‑level movement that brings SUNSHINE into everyday life across London.

Your presence, organisation, and care will help ensure that every SUNSHINE session feels meaningful, safe, and full of connection.

Why SUNSHINE?

Because we believe in:

• Joy as a form of care

• Community as a source of strength

• Connection as a human right

• People as the heart of everything we do

What difference will you make?
The Social Media Lead plays a strategic and safeguarding-critical role in advancing Emerge Worldwide’s mission to prevent grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

This role is not simply about posting content. It is about shaping narrative, increasing prevention, strengthening partnerships and ensuring that women and girls encounter accurate, trauma-informed information in digital spaces.

Through a clear digital strategy and consistent messaging, the Social Media Lead strengthens Emerge Worldwide’s credibility and national voice. A strong online presence builds trust with survivors, professionals, schools, corporates and policymakers — opening doors for training, partnerships and funding that directly support prevention and empowerment initiatives.

Consistent, high-quality posting has preventative impact. Educational content about red flags, online grooming, coercive control and intersectional vulnerabilities can help young people recognise harmful behaviour earlier. Parents, carers and teachers may identify warning signs sooner. Increased awareness can interrupt exploitation before it escalates.

Collaboration with the Communications Department ensures language is trauma-informed and safeguarding-aware. Sensitive issues are handled ethically, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and creating a digital environment where survivors feel seen, respected and safe.

Cross-department collaboration ensures campaigns, policy work, education programmes and fundraising initiatives are amplified effectively. This leads to increased attendance at training, stronger campaign mobilisation, greater public engagement and enhanced funding — all of which contribute to tangible protection and support for vulnerable girls and young women.

By analysing performance data, the Social Media Lead helps Emerge Worldwide reach high-risk demographics more effectively. Data-informed decisions improve targeting, engagement and resource allocation, ensuring messaging reaches those most vulnerable.

In summary, the outcomes of this role contribute directly to early identification, public education, cultural awareness and increased access to prevention services. The Social Media Lead helps transform awareness into action — strengthening Emerge Worldwide’s impact in advocating for women and girls against grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.
