⚓ Location: Fully remote, you can be based anywhere in the world

⏱ Hours: Flexible, project-based delivery

Fee: Contracts from £1,200, depending on volume of work

Duration: Early-April to mid-May 2026

Deadline: Monday 23 March 2026

We're looking for bilingual activists, educators and content creators to present our Bloom content on trauma and gender-based violence in Arabic.


Your brief

Our Bloom content was originally written in English and we now offer them in French, Hindi, Portuguese, Spanish, and German. We are now rolling Bloom out in Arabic and Turkish!

It's important to us that the content be presented in a way that is accessible, warm, and intelligible to Arabic speakers with a variety of national, cultural, and personal backgrounds.

We will be presenting Bloom sessions on a variety of topics, including:

* Image-based abuse
* Healing from sexual trauma
* Understanding the trauma response
* Healthy relationships
* How gender-based violence is connected to systemic forms of oppression

The content for these resources was originally written in English and will be translated into Arabic by our translation team.

This role will be one of a small team of people presenting and recording the scripts in Arabic. You will need to deliver:

* Natural, conversational audio that sounds like you're speaking directly to a friend or someone you know
* Warm, empathetic delivery that centres the survivor's experience
* Clear pronunciation that is accessible across diverse Arabic-speaking regions
* Professional-quality audio recordings (we will provide you with any equipment you need!)

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


Scope of work

The presenting and recording work includes:

* Approx. 27 audio-recorded scripts (around 20-25 minutes each when recorded)
* Course introduction recordings (3-5 minutes each)
* Short video introduction to yourself as a presenter (2-3 minutes)
* Explainer audio clips (2 minutes each)
* Uploading recordings with timestamps
* Quality-checking audio files and captions

Each presenter will be assigned a portion of this work. We will have three audio presenters who will divide the sessions, allowing us to bring together diverse voices and regional perspectives that make the content accessible across different Arabic-speaking communities


Your biggest challenge

Presenting trauma-informed content on gender-based violence and trauma requires more than just reading a script! We need you to have the ability to convey warmth and safety through your voice, and the skills to make sensitive content feel conversational rather than clinical. You'll need to sound natural and authentic while covering difficult topics, ensuring survivors feel supported and not judged.

The challenge is to deliver content that feels personal and relatable to survivors across Arabic-speaking countries and diasporas, without it feeling like you're reading from a script or acting.


Your profile

We're looking for three Arabic speakers who have experience working in gender-based violence, survivor support, or mental health. You don't need to be an experienced audio presenter or voice actor for this work. We want to work with people who understand trauma-informed approaches, who align with our ethos, and who can authentically communicate with survivors of gender-based violence.

Working with multiple presenters per language allows us to capture diverse voices and perspectives that make the content accessible across different Arabic-speaking communities.


Essential

* Native-level fluency speaking and writing in Arabic
* Fluency reading and speaking in English
* Natural, conversational speaking style—ability to deliver scripts warmly and authentically
* Background or work experience in:
o Violence against women and girls organisations or social rights activism
o and/or psychology, counselling, and/or mental health
* Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
* Attention to detail and agile working pace
* Access to a quiet recording environment with stable internet connection
* Ability to commit to presenting at least 8-10 sessions


Desirable

* Prior experience with podcast presenting, audio narration, or voice-over work
* Familiarity with audio recording equipment
* Experience with audio editing — please indicate in your application if you have experience in this area
* Experience in working remotely
* Passion for digital technology
* Understanding of mental health terminology in both English and Arabic

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 .


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.
