Presenter [Turkish and English-speaking]

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

Reporting to: Survivor Services Lead

Deadline: Monday 16 March 2026

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

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 Turkish and Arabic! It’s important to us that the content be presented in a way that is accessible, warm, and intelligible to Turkish 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 Turkish by our translation team. This role will be one of a small team of people presenting and recording the scripts in Turkish.

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 Turkish-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 Turkish-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 Turkish-speaking countries and diasporas, without it feeling like you’re reading from a script or acting.

Your profile:

We’re looking for three Turkish 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.

Essential:

• Native-level fluency speaking and writing in Turkish
• Fluency reading and speaking in English
• Natural, conversational speaking style—ability to deliver scripts warmly and authentically
• Background or work experience in: Violence against women and girls organisations or social rights activism 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 Turkish

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.

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.

Our offer:

This is a freelance, project-based contract and you can be based anywhere in the world. We’re looking for someone who can commit to delivering the full scope of work in the stated timeframe. We are unable to sponsor visas. Chayn is a fully remote organisation. You’ll work flexible hours to suit your schedule, with the expectation of regular check-ins with the Survivor Services team. We estimate this work will require flexible commitment of approximately 10‑20 hours per week across the project period. Recording equipment will be sent on loan to the successful candidate for the duration of the project if they do not already own it.

Fee breakdown:

All fees are inclusive of VAT where applicable. We do not pay per word or per hour. We know people work at different paces, and we have based our timeframes on what was accomplished for other languages for these courses.

Core session fees: £60 per session to:

• Record session alongside another presenter (approximately 20‑25 minutes of audio)
• Review and re‑record any sections if needed, based on feedback

One-off fees:

In addition to the main sessions, we pay a flat fee of £150 to all audio presenters for the following:

• Recording two short video introductions (one individual and one group)
• Training and onboarding

Minimum commitment and availability:

We ask that all presenters commit to recording at least 18 sessions. We are looking for candidates who can have availability and flexibility across a five-week period beginning in early-April. This role requires us sending equipment to a provided address at the start of the process. Due to this and the nature of presenting work, we require you to have a stable, fixed background and strong internet access while recording. This means we are unable to work with presenters across this time period who may be travelling or in unsuitable environments for the purposes of recording. There will be three presenters on the project, which allows us to bring together diverse perspectives and voices that make the content accessible across different regions and cultural contexts.

Inclusion:

At Chayn, inclusion and accessibility are at the core of our work. We welcome applicants from all walks of life. Given the nature of our courses and our audience, we encourage applications from those who grew up in the Global South (or Majority World). We also encourage applications from people of colour, LGBTQ+ people (we are a trans‑inclusive organisation), people with disabilities, and people who have experienced other exclusion or marginalisation. Up to 70% of our team members are survivors of abuse so if you are one too and are thinking to apply, know that you will be in a safe and affirming space.

Process:

Please read this document and give it some thought before applying to work with us. To apply, send us:

• Your portfolio and/or CV demonstrating your relevant experience
• Audio sample (2‑3 minutes) of you reading a script or presenting audio content in English
• A brief cover letter (maximum 1 page or 3‑minute audio/video) outlining:
