Human Rights Volunteer Roles

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Faith to Faithless, an inspiring section of Humanists UK that raises awareness of apostasy and supports those who have left a religion in the UK.
After launching our dedicated helpline for the ex-religious, we have found that we are receiving a growing number of people registering for peer support. As a result we are expanding our volunteer team.
When a person contacts us and says they would like to attend an event of ours, they fill in a registration form and then they will have a ‘Safety Chat’. This is an informal online video chat with a member of staff or a trained volunteer. The Safety Chat Facilitator will explain how the services work and answer any questions the applicant may have. It is also an opportunity to make sure we are keeping the service safe for all of our service users. You will be checking to see if the person is appropriate for our services, and that our services are appropriate for them.
The Safety Chat Facilitators engage in the most important role within Faith to Faithless. They are the first point of contact for all of our service users, and they may well be the first person that an ex-religious person has ever spoken to about leaving religion. These conversations can be emotionally challenging due to discussing difficulties experienced when leaving religion, but they tend to be quite joyful too, as the ex-religious person is learning that there is a whole community of support available and friends to be made.
This is a wonderful opportunity to positively impact lives and help create a more inclusive community for the ex-religious.
Join us today and be part of the change!
Read the full application pack on the Humanists UK website. You can also find our Recruitment and Promotion and Equal Opportunities policies available to view there.
To apply for the role, please let us know:
- Who you are, including a little bit about yourself
- Why you are interested in the role
- What you think you’d bring to the role (e,g. your skills and experiences that would be particularly relevant)
- What you’d like to get out of the role
- Any concerns, or extra support you’d need in the role
This doesn’t need to be a long essay, just to help us understand who you are, and why you’d be a good fit. If you have a current CV, that would also be helpful, but isn’t essential.
The next step then would be an informal interview over video call (Zoom or Google Meets) with Terri – the Apostate Services Development Officer.

About the role
To mentor clients in creative writing sessions (one to one and group workshop) at Write to Life, the creative writing group at Freedom from Torture. Write to Life is a unique group working with survivors of torture. Over the past 25, years it has supported hundreds of survivors, all clients and former clients, many of whom have become published writers and assured performers at festivals, fundraisers and public events. Nurturing their talent in a third or fourth language, watching it blossom and with it, their confidence and self-belief, is a constant inspiration.
Although primarily a writing group, that writing has taken many forms, from film to musical narrative to theatre and song. We have collaborated on creative projects with the Roundhouse, Kings Place, Tate Gallery, Victoria and Albert and British Museums, NWLive Arts, Ice & Fire and Tamasha Theatre, among others.
Freedom from Torture aims to be a survivor-focused and led organisation, and we particularly encourage minoritized people and those with lived experience of the asylum system to apply.
Main Responsibilities:
- To participate in fortnightly workshops on Wednesday evenings at Freedom from Torture’s offices in Finsbury Park (17.30-20.00).
- To take on one or two clients for one-to-one writing sessions (fortnightly), ideally on the same day, before the workshop.
- To check FFT emails every Wednesday, including non workshop Wednesdays, and respond in a reasonably timely manner.
- To devise and run 2-3 writing workshops a year, both general creative writing and specific to the aims and programme of Freedom from Torture.
- To attend Write to Life mentors’ meetings (every 6 weeks before workshop).
- (Optional) in rotation with other mentors to co-edit with a group member the annual Write to Life Zine which is co-produced and designed with the whole group.
- (Optional) to participate in occasional events (fundraisers, festivals and parties).
About you
Applicants should be published writers in some form (novels, plays, poetry), and have experience with vulnerable populations, ideally as a writing teacher.
Please note that all group members are supported by therapists, and no counselling experience or counselling is expected from the mentors.

Bristol Hospitality Network works to end the destitution of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. We are looking for Trustees who are passionate about social justice.
What will you be doing?
We want individuals who are passionate about social justice and believe in the right of displaced and persecuted peoples to seek asylum in the UK. Your sense of fairness and empathy is much more important than any professional background you have. In fact, if you are keen to learn and support our staff team in a particular area of our work, we are happy to support you in developing new skills and an understanding of the asylum system in the UK.
If you are new to being a Trustee, we will give you plenty of support and training and there are plenty of resources we can point you to too.
Our Trustees meet all together 4 times a year (either virtually or in person) for Trustees’ meetings, plus we have an annual general meeting every year.
Our Trustees also take part in sub-groups such as the Finance sub-group, and some take on a governance responsibility like Chair, Treasurer or Secretary, or support an area of work such as hosting or advice or communications etc.
What are we looking for?
Your skills, knowledge and attributes are valuable whatever your background — professional or otherwise. Let us know where your interests lie and what you feel you can bring of yourself to our team.
We do currently have vacancies for particular Trustee roles such as Company Secretary and we would particularly be thrilled if anyone wanted to support our corporate governance and fundraising workstreams.
What difference will you make?
We estimate there are 100 destitute asylum seekers living in Bristol, caught in the loopholes of the system – unable to work and unable to claim benefits. Without an income, these individuals can’t find accommodation. This is an opportunity for the Trustee to join an organisation which extends solidarity to people seeking asylum and experiencing destitution through accommodation and creative community involvement. By joining us as a Trustee, you will help BHN continue its work in benefit of all its members.
Before you apply
The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting BHN with their Trustee recruitment.
Applications should be made via TrusteeWorks in the first instance.
To apply please send your CV/LinkedIn profile along with a supporting statement explaining why you are interested in the role, the skills and experience you will bring to the Board and what you would hope to get out of the role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

What does the role of Trustee look like?
The role of Trustee is a rewarding, engaging, decision making one where you get to make a real difference, using your skills and experience to help our charity create as much impact as we can.
You will join a dedicated board of trustees who are ultimately responsible for the governance and finances of the charity, working together to make sure that the charity’s resources are used effectively to achieve its aims.
Board meetings allow the trustees to come together to fulfill their legal obligations, as stated in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The CEO and Executive Team are responsible for updating and providing the necessary information to the trustees to enable them to make their decisions.
Trustees are not expected to be experts in every aspect of the running of Heard, this is why we have dedicated employees to provide information to the trustees and specialist trustees such as our treasurer who has the financial expertise to guide the trustees when it comes to the accounts.

About Heard:
Heard is a charity working with people and the media to inspire content and communication that changes hearts and minds.
We all know that being heard matters. On a fundamental level, good communication means being heard and feeling heard. And good communication is transformative. It can shift perspectives, and move conversations – and society – forward.
Therefore, in a world that can feel loud, divided and awash with misunderstanding, our work is making sure we can hear each other.
It’s about finding common ground on big, important issues. Connecting people. Growing understanding. Check out our core programmes focussed on issues such as climate change, poverty, domestic abuse, transgender experiences, migration and children’s palliative care.
Our name also reflects how we centre and support people whose stories need to be heard at scale. You can read more about what we do at Heard on our website.
Nina (current Co-chair) says “I know how challenging it can be to make a reality of narrative change, and I find it immensely rewarding to be a small part of Heard’s impactful storytelling work”.
We are committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background or age.
