Documentary Producer & Project Lead Volunteer

About the role

Maternal loss is still too often misunderstood, hidden, or difficult to talk about. Through a documentary project, TMM hopes to amplify the voices of motherless mothers, raise awareness of the realities of maternal grief, challenge stigma, and encourage meaningful change in how loss is understood and supported. We’re looking for a volunteer who can help lead and shape this project from concept to completion.

• Recruiting and managing volunteer filmmakers, editors, and production support volunteers
• Helping identify funding, sponsorship, or partnership opportunities
• Ensuring stories are captured ethically, sensitively, and with appropriate safeguarding considerations
• Supporting plans for distribution, promotion, and audience engagement

Requirements

• Experience in documentary production, filmmaking, journalism, broadcasting, or a related field
• Strong project‐management and organisational skills
• Excellent communication and relationship‐building abilities
