Role mandate
Create concise, accessible video that supports health education, volunteer learning and transparent program communication.
Why this role exists now
Video can improve reach and understanding, but only when scripts, consent, context and accessibility are designed before editing.

04
What you need
Essential criteria
Demonstrated video editing and visual storytelling capability.
Strong file organisation and feedback response.
Commitment to accessible, consent-based representation.
Desirable, not required
Motion graphics, sound or health-content experience.
Experience adapting content for multiple social platforms.
05
How good work will be judged
Success measures
Videos are accurate, accessible and suitable for their intended channel.
Production scope matches available volunteer capacity.
People and communities retain dignity and appropriate control.
Decision rights & escalation
Set day-to-day priorities within the approved role brief and agreed hours.
Recommend changes to scope, timing or method and document the rationale.
Pause your own activity and escalate when safety, consent, quality or capacity is unclear.
Escalate budget commitments, external promises, partner agreements and material changes to Head of Communications & Public Engagement.
Clinical, safeguarding, privacy and public-claim decisions remain with the named qualified approver.
Role boundaries
This is an unpaid volunteer role. It does not create an employment relationship or expectation of future paid work.
Do not represent HIF publicly, sign agreements or commit money unless authority is explicitly documented.
Use only approved systems for personal, partner or program information.
The agreed weekly commitment is a ceiling to manage, not a minimum to exceed silently.
This role does not provide clinical advice, diagnosis, treatment or unsupervised patient contact.
No travel is assumed. Any future travel would require a separate brief, risk review and written approval.
06
Support, learning and wellbeing
Approved scripts, storyboards and brand components.
Editorial and design review.
HIF does not require volunteers to use personal equipment beyond agreement.
Scope and safety
Volunteers must not work outside their competence. Clinical, safeguarding and community-facing work requires role-specific supervision and escalation pathways.
Checks before you begin
Identity and right-to-volunteer confirmation.
One or two role-relevant references for leadership or higher-trust appointments.
Confidentiality, conflict-of-interest, privacy and code-of-conduct declarations.
07
