We are looking for a special rebel to coordinate our Back Office.
During an action, Back Office volunteers run a 24 hour phone helpline used to report arrests and police behaviour, and coordinate support for rebels who are taken to police stations. This is an essential part of keeping everyone safe in-action, and of providing ongoing support to our arrestees.
Our Back Office Coordinator will create Back Office volunteer rotas and update training materials. They will also recruit and train Back Office volunteers when needed to add to our existing team. During Rebellions and actions where arrests are expected they have a crucial role in setting up rotas to cover the full period.
You don't need to have volunteered with Back Office before although some experience would definitely help. Full support and induction will be given.
This role is being advertised by the following working group:
