Description

Can you bring some of your academic rigor to our website? We built https://gosafer.online to help people avoid online problems. It provides links to videos, audio, and web pages. Our online content reviewers choose what to include.

We’re not a news site. We list information if it tells our audience something they should do,  or a risk they should be aware of. It could also include shaping their general view of technology.

Quality is important. If our selections are boring or irrelevant, all our effort directing people to the site will be wasted. We need to be sceptical (even if an item appears to line up with our point of view). We generally prefer British content, although our reviewer will make exceptions at times.

Our reviewers will categorise the information, and rate it for bad language, disturbing content, or references to drug use. They may also suggest a lifetime for displaying it. We’re interested in suggestions for improving the definition or the ordering of our categories, in ideas for new categories, or for any way that we can improve what we do.

Duties

Selection and categorisation of links to content which is relevant to our website

Who will the volunteers be working with?
Philip Symons, Director
Training
We'll brief you (and provide documentation) on the audiences we serve, and on the criteria for selecting material.

Time commitment

There are no fixed hours since all the work can be done at home. We would hope to receive your selections weekly or fortnightly

This organisation is one of our community partner organisations.

Like all volunteer recruiters we work with, they have signed up to our service standards, agreeing to abide by our policy on partnership working to keep you safe and supported whilst you volunteer.

You’ll never be out of pocket for volunteering through us – with in-London travel expenses to and from your volunteering guaranteed.

In addition, the team here at Students’ Union UCL Volunteering Service is here to support you throughout your volunteering journey – you can get in touch with us at any time.
