About Bloom

Bloom is a free, web-based support service run by Chayn. Designed for anyone who has experienced or is currently experiencing domestic or sexual abuse, all courses are packed with tailored information, guidance, everyday tools, and comforting words to cope with traumatic events. Our programme involves learning, reflecting, and processing how what we’ve been through may have affected us - all in a safe and empowering space. To guarantee privacy and safety, every participant remains anonymous without missing out on the experience of a group setting. Participants can engage with additional content as much or as little as suits them and can choose whether to receive course information via WhatsApp or on Telegram.

Watch this video for participants which explains how Bloom works.

Examples of our courses are:

  • Healing from sexual trauma
  • Creating boundaries
  • Reclaiming resilience in your trauma story

We have received funding from Comic Relief, The National Community Lottery Fund and a partnership with the dating app Bumble to expand and experiment with other ways to package our content.

About the role

This role will focus on recording the French-language materials for Bloom. Responsibilities could include, but are not limited to:

  • Recording videos for our course content
  • Our course videos are presented by two facilitators; facilitators are reading from a script.
  • Editing and captioning the course videos in YouTube
  • Quality-checking video descriptions and captions

High-quality recording equipment will be sent on loan to the successful candidate for the duration of the project if they do not already own it.

We’re looking for individuals with a background in activism, education, violence against women and girls, and/or mental health. You should care about supporting the healing of survivors, and implementing trauma-informed practices within the project.

As your primary responsibility is appearing in our course videos, confidence and ease in front of the camera is essential. For the editing and captioning work, attention to detail, quick learning pace, and precision are important skills. You should be comfortable working closely with individuals from diverse backgrounds in fast-paced environments. We’re looking for someone adaptable, collaborative and highly detail-oriented.

It’s important that all team members have an understanding of intersectionality and systems of oppression and an affinity with Chayn’s aims and organisational values which can be found here.

  • Solid understanding of the needs of survivors’ of domestic abuse, sexual assault and rape, and the ecosystem of support
  • Confident appearing in video recordings
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Attention to detail
  • Flexible working patterns and availability for occasional calls on weekends
  • Experience of working with diverse cultural and geographical clients and audiences
  • Commitment to creating diverse, inclusive services

Desirable

  • Experience or exposure to trauma-informed care
  • Understanding of mental health sector
  • Experience of working within small, distributed teams
  • Passion for technology

The position

Inclusion

At Chayn, inclusion and accessibility are at the core of our work. We welcome applicants from all walks of life. Given the nature of our courses and our audience, we encourage applications from mental health professionals who grew up in the Global South (or Majority World).

We also encourage applications from people of colour, LGBTQ+ people (we are a trans-inclusive organisation), people with disabilities, and people who have experienced other exclusion or marginalisation. Up to 70% of our team members are survivors of abuse so if you are one too and are thinking to apply, know that you will be in a safe and affirming space.

We have tried to make this recruitment process as accessible as possible, but know that there might be more that we can do, particularly if you have experienced exclusion, disadvantage or discrimination, or if you have particular accessibility needs. We would be happy to provide any further support that you may require - please get in touch with us at [email removed - click apply for more details], and we can think together about how to make this process easier for you.

Hours

This contract will be freelance paid at a day-rate of £130.

  • Typical working hours will be 15 to 20 hours per week, occasionally taking place on Sundays.
  • Working hours are flexible, and will be coordinated with the other successful candidates’ availabilities and timezones; however, as our team is globally distributed, our collaborative hours tend to be from 2-6PM UK time.

Chayn is a fully remote organisation.
