Communications Graduate

About ChaynChayn is a global nonprofit making healing accessible for all survivors of gender-based violence. By reimagining technology, we create online resources that are trauma-informed, multilingual, and feminist, supporting survivors to heal at their own pace, wherever they are.Chayn started in 2013 to provide survivors of abuse with accurate, diverse and accessible information. Since our beginnings, over 700,000 people have accessed our award-winning work online, generating 1.2 million page views. Up to 70% of our volunteers are survivors of abuse, which means not only are our projects user-centred; they are user-led.We are experts in trauma-informed work and have developed trauma-informed design principles that we apply at every level of the organisation, from HR to user research and UX/UI. We are one of only a few feminist technology organisations tackling gender-based violence while creating and maintaining openly licensed products and code.While we’ve been going for over 10 years, Chayn was entirely volunteer-led until 2020, when we started to grow our team of paid staff. We are now a core team of 11, with up to 10 supporting contractors and a team of contributing volunteers, working together remotely from all over the world.Communications Graduate⚓ Location: Fully remote, you can be based anywhere in the world⏱️ Hours: Full-time, 30 hours per week💰 Salary: £1,800/month📜 Contract: 12 months with possible extension subject to funding and performance👤 Reporting to: Head of Communications🕰️ Deadline: Tuesday, June 30, 2026The roleWe’re looking for a creative, thoughtful and organised Communications Graduate to help us tell people about Chayn’s work and reach more survivors, supporters and partners.You’ll work across our social media, newsletters, website, campaigns and organisational communications.
