Your contribution will therefore go beyond administrative tasks. By helping the organisation run efficiently, you will help strengthen the infrastructure behind a platform working to raise awareness, amplify survivor voices, challenge systemic issues and support lasting change.

Previous Executive Assistant experience is not essential. We are interested in people who demonstrate the right attitude, commitment, organisational ability and willingness to learn. This role is best suited to someone who is comfortable with responsibility, detailed reporting, sensitive information and contributing to strategic and organisational discussions.

The role requires someone who can work independently while remaining closely connected to the Founder and wider team. You will need to manage competing priorities, communicate effectively and take ownership of agreed actions. As the organisation continues to grow, the role may develop alongside the needs of the CIC, providing opportunities to take on greater responsibility, contribute ideas and support wider organisational projects. The successful volunteer will become an important part of the organisation's collective approach, helping turn the Founder's priorities and strategic direction into organised, practical action.
