👤 Reporting to: Survivor Services Lead

🕰️ Deadline: Rolling applications

We’re looking for a Content Writer/Editor to help us modularise and refine Bloom’s course content for translation into Arabic and Turkish. You’ll be working alongside our Survivor Services team to transform our existing trauma support courses into shorter, standalone modular sessions that can work both independently and as part of guided pathways.

Your brief

This is a project-based role focusing on editing and restructuring existing Bloom course scripts (see example session, Fear in the body, here) to create a modular content library.

You’ll transform approximately 27 existing course sessions into shorter, standalone modules organised across six thematic areas. The current sessions are video conversations between two people. You'll be adapting these into audio-only conversations between two different speakers, optimised for voice recording.

The thematic areas are:

• Understanding gender-based violence (GBV)
• The social and systemic context of GBV
• The trauma response
• Emotional processing
• Boundaries
• Healing and tools

The work will involve:

• Editing existing English-language course scripts to create shorter, more focused sessions
• Ensuring each session works both as a standalone resource and as part of a wider course pathway
• Adapting video conversation scripts into audio-only format, reducing average session length from approx. 30 minutes to approx. 20 minutes
• Writing new introductions and wrap-ups for sessions where needed to ensure they function independently
• Creating or consolidating content for new sessions where multiple existing sessions need to be combined or where gaps have been identified
• Ensuring consistency in tone, structure, and formatting across all modular content
• Preparing scripts in a format optimised for translation and localisation, and future audio recording
• Working with our existing trauma-informed design principles and content guidelines

All work will need to implement our trauma-informed design principles.

Your biggest challenge to solve

You’ll need to take existing long-form course content and reimagine it as flexible, modular building blocks—ensuring each piece can stand alone while still working as part of a coherent healing journey.

This requires balancing survivor needs for both structured pathways and pick-and-choose access, all while maintaining Chayn’s distinctive trauma-informed, survivor-centred voice.

You'll also need to reimagine video sessions as engaging audio-only dialogues that maintain the warmth and connection of the original format, while working effectively without visual elements.

Your profile

We’re looking for someone with strong content writing and editing skills who can work sensitively with trauma-related content. You should be comfortable restructuring and adapting existing materials, writing clear and compassionate copy, and working independently to deliver high-quality content on deadline.

It’s important that all team members have an understanding of intersectionality and systems of oppression, and an affinity with Chayn’s aims and organisational values which can be found here.

Essential

• 3+ years experience in content writing, content design, or content editing
• Experience working with sensitive topics related to gender-based violence, trauma, and mental health
• Demonstrable experience restructuring or modularising existing content
• Strong editing skills with attention to detail and consistency
• Ability to write in a warm, accessible, and trauma-informed tone
• Experience working with long-form educational or support content
• Fluent English, both written and spoken
• Comfortable working independently with clear deadlines
• Familiarity with Slack, Notion, Google Docs, and collaborative working tools

Desirable

• Fluency in Arabic and/or Turkish in addition to English
• Experience or exposure to trauma-informed care and trauma-informed content design
• Understanding of the needs of survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence
• Understanding of the mental health sector and therapeutic practices
• Experience preparing content for translation and localisation

About Chayn

Chayn 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.
