Middle Eastern Women & Society Organisation (MEWSo)
Defending and protecting vulnerable women from violence both at home and in the wider community, and helping them rebuild their lives through tailored advice, guidance and support.
Description

We’re urgently looking for a female volunteer who can help us capture the essence of our work by filming clients’ testimonies and creating videos for our campaigns. The volunteer will help us communicate our impact and how we made a positive difference in women’s lives, besides amplifying the voices of vulnerable women by giving them a chance to tell their stories and how they managed to overcome barriers. 

What’s in it for the volunteers?

- They will contribute to our mission by helping us spread the word about our campaigns and capturing service users’ experiences.

- They will gain work experience in the charity sector and be part of a highly motivated, professional team with big ambitions to change the lives of vulnerable women for the better.

- They will have ongoing learning and development opportunities to improve their skills (e.g. rotating to new roles within MEWSo, attending training workshops, representing MEWSo at networks and events)

- They will receive certificates of recognition and references to support their professional development.

Duties

- Meeting with clients and filming their testimony with the presence of a staff member.

- Producing proper video content to help us raise awareness about our work.

- Editing videos into a suitable format to use on MEWSo’s website, social media platforms, and other publications.

- Ensuring that filming/interviewing permissions are completed in advance of shooting.

- Dealing with other team members, volunteers and beneficiaries in a professional and friendly manner, besides adhering to MEWSo’s policies and procedures.
