Support the Founder of a growing survivor-led C.I.C. as an Executive Assistant
Help coordinate leadership priorities, projects, meetings and communications while gaining hands-on experience in leadership support and contributing to the fight against CSA.
What difference will you make?
The Executive Assistant will help strengthen the organisation’s day-to-day operations by providing the Founder with consistent executive and administrative support.
This role will provide the Founder and senior team with the organisational support needed to operate effectively and continue growing the CIC’s impact.
The volunteer will help
- Keep the Founder’s priorities, meetings, communications and commitments organised.
- Ensure actions from meetings are recorded, followed up and completed.
- Improve coordination between departments, volunteers, partners and external stakeholders.
- Strengthen administrative systems, documentation and project tracking.
- Help ensure important deadlines, opportunities and organisational priorities are not missed.
- Free up the Founder’s time to focus on strategic leadership, advocacy, partnerships, content and supporting the organisation’s wider mission.
- Support the successful delivery of events, training, fundraising activities and community initiatives.
By helping create greater structure and accountability, the Executive Assistant will contribute to the CIC’s ability to grow sustainably and reach more survivors, young people and communities.
The organisation’s work focuses on challenging generational cycles, creating space for survivors and whistleblowers to share their experiences, promoting healing and education, and developing opportunities for empowerment and community transformation.
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.
As the CIC develops, this is also an opportunity to grow with the organisation, contribute ideas and potentially progress into greater responsibility and future paid opportunities.

What will you be doing?
The Executive Assistant will work closely with the Founder and senior team to provide reliable day-to-day coordination, administration and leadership support. You will help ensure priorities are organised, actions are followed through and important communications and projects keep moving.
Key responsibilities include
- Manage and coordinate the Founder’s calendar, meetings, appointments and commitments.
- Support emails, correspondence, reports, presentations, briefing documents and other leadership communications.
- Attend meetings, take accurate notes, record decisions and track actions and deadlines using Asana.

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.
