Shape Change in a Way That Works for You
At REIGN, we understand that not everyone can commit to long-term roles, and that lived experience is invaluable. That’s why we offer flexible freelance opportunities that allow victims and survivors of CSE/A to contribute in ways that work for them. Whether you’re interested in facilitating a one-off workshop, supporting a campaign, or taking on a longer-term project behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you.
We offer a variety of freelance roles, including workshop facilitators and administrative support, all under our flexible freelance umbrella. Below, you’ll find our current openings.
If a paid role isn’t right for you but you’d still like to get involved, we’d be excited to have you volunteer with us as well!
Workshop facilitators
Join us as a workshop facilitator and become part of the REIGN collective, where you can help make a real impact by sharing your personal experiences as a survivor/victim of CSE/A.
We’re looking for survivors and victims from diverse backgrounds who are ready to reflect on their experiences, share the lessons they’ve learned, and help change the way CSE/A is understood by professionals and students. If you’re passionate about educating others and creating change, this is a great opportunity to get involved.
This is an “as and when” role — whenever we have workshops, we’ll offer them to our facilitators, and you can decide if it’s something you want to take on. No previous experience is needed! We provide full training to make sure you feel comfortable and confident. We understand that life can be challenging, whether it’s trauma, mental health issues, work/caregiving responsibilities, or disabilities, and we are committed to accommodating your needs and supporting you in every way we can.
If you’re interested in getting paid for your expertise, making a difference, and being part of something meaningful, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s meet online and chat about the role to see if it’s a good fit.
