• Flexible volunteering that can fit around other commitments

• Opportunity to contribute creatively while making a meaningful difference

Although this is currently a volunteer position, Influential Stars is actively working to grow the platform with the long term aim of creating paid roles. While we are unable to provide a timeframe and future opportunities will depend on the organisation’s growth and incoming work, this role offers the chance to be part of that journey from an early stage.

The Role - Volunteer Operations Coordinator

Job Purpose:

At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., our work depends on clarity, coordination and consistency. Operations are not just processes; they are the structure that enables people, programmes and purpose to function effectively. 

The Operations Coordinator ensures that organisational activity is aligned, visible and executed efficiently in line with the organisation’s mission, safeguarding responsibilities and growth.

You will play a key role in connecting teams, workflows and systems ensuring that day-to-day operations are coordinated, accountable and sustainable as the C.I.C grow.

This is not a purely administrative role. It is coordination-driven, systems-focused and central to how the organisation delivers impact behind the scenes.

This role exists to:

• Support the coordination and execution of day-to-day organisational activities 
• Translate organisational priorities into structured, actionable workflows 
• Maintain and improve systems that support operational efficiency and team alignment 
• Monitor progress, identify gaps and ensure timely follow-through across functions 
• Support compliance with safeguarding and organisational policies 
• Ensure consistency, documentation and scalability across operational processes 

You are the link between teams, systems, execution and organisational visibility.

About the role:

To provide operational coordination, execution support and oversight of day-to-day organisational activities ensuring that work is effectively implemented, tracked and aligned with the C.I.C’s mission and safeguarding values.

The Operations Coordinator ensures that work happens effectively, while the Operations Analyst ensures that work happens efficiently. Both roles are complementary: one drives execution, the other drives improvement.

Why This Role Matters

Strong operational coordination:

• Ensures that tasks, projects and priorities are clearly organised and executed effectively
