Safe In Our World is hiring an Operations Coordinator

We’re looking for an Operations Coordinator to help us provide mental health training and resources to the games industry.

Please note: Applications are now closed for Operations Coordinator at Safe In Our World.

Key Details

We’re currently recruiting for an Operations Coordinator to join our small but mighty team here at Safe In Our World. Join our mission to eliminate mental health stigma – improving mental health awareness and acceptance across the games industry and beyond!

Hours per week: 37.5
Location: Remote / Anywhere in the UK
Salary: £27,000 per annum
Closing Date: Sunday 20th April, 23:59 GMT

The Role

We’re looking for someone able to form great relationships with our stakeholders and partners; someone with keen attention to detail, excellent administrative and organisational skills, and the drive to make a difference!

Your role at Safe In Our World will be supporting the delivery of our Level Up initiative. Level Up is a programme designed to challenge companies across the games industry to challenge mental health stigma and make positive changes in their workplace.

As our Operations Coordinator, you’ll be in close contact with our Level Up Mental Health partners, helping to deliver training and resources, gathering feedback and testimonials, and proactively working with our Partnerships & Training Manager to improve and enhance the  programme’s content.

The Ideal Candidate

We’re looking for someone with demonstrable experience in building and maintaining business relationships, so communication skills are a must. Prior knowledge of the games industry is not essential, but it may help!

More than anything, we want someone who’s truly passionate about mental health. The role we get to play in the games industry is a privilege, but it can also often be challenging. We often need to adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of games, so self-motivation and workload management skills will be important.

Working From Home

Safe In Our World consists of a small team of passionate mental health advocates who all work from home. If you don’t have experience working from home, and you’re a bit concerned with what that change would be like for you, here’s a bit of inside knowledge on what a day with Safe In Our World can look like.

We primarily communicate through Discord, which allows us to be very reactive and connected as a team. Co-working sessions are common, and it’s very normal to just sit and vibe while getting a job done – but we also work collaboratively over calls!

Still, it’s not death by meetings. You’ll have full control over your own calendar, so you can be mindful of when’s a good time to take a meeting, or when you really just need to carve out some focused work time with limited distractions.

We also find time to hang out as a team, either through organised team days out, or online playing Minecraft or similar. We’ve painted pottery together, visited a video game museum, and there’s industry events we attend together too!

How To Apply

If all this sounds good to you, we’d love to hear from you. Read our full job description and apply via our form.  All you’ll need is a CV and a cover letter (and no don’t worry, you won’t need to fill out all the info already in your CV in our form!)

You’ll hear back regardless of the outcome by no later than April 30th. If successful, you will be invited to a video interview (dates TBC). There is an option to include accessibility needs on the application form, but there’ll be opportunity to ask for accommodations before your interview too.

We’re so excited to hear from you! Good luck.
