Who is the DV Collective?
The DV Collective connects corporates to grass root organisations across Australia who are supporting women and children escaping and recovering from domestic violence. The DV Collective comprises of organisations that support women and children escape, and recover from domestic violence through the journey of recovery and financial and emotional independence. Services including, but not limited to, shelters, legal, crisis support, teenage pregnancy, counselling, crisis support, essential items, case management, school essentials, scholarships and education. Our Members are inspiring and we are here to support them by securing the financial support, volunteers and probono products and services they need to continue the amazing work they do, or to scale up so they can assist more women. We onboard three new members a week.
The DV Collective are looking for a video editor to assist the CEO and Executive Team to create and edit video content that will be used on social media platforms and through the Impact through ACTION corporate campaigns. The Impact through Action Campaigns are fun and engaging programs being rolled out through Corporates across Australia. The team have interviewed shelter managers and other content they would like to present through marketing comm's and during events and at launches.
This is an ongoing role with a time commitment of approx 2 hours a week and you will be working closely with the team. You will need experience in editing video and creating professional assets. You will be asked to demonstrate previous work you have created to demonstrate your ability.
It takes a lot of courage for a victim of domestic violence to reach out for help.
I know, because I am a survivor myself.
In my darkest hour, sitting alone on a cold Melbourne beach, I found the strength to reach out for help.
But the helplines I called were disconnected, support services were underfunded, and the help I needed was often a 12-month waitlist away. Seeking support was a terrifying leap of faith, and there was no one there to catch me.
I was left feeling more isolated, more afraid, and more alone than ever before.
My life goal to help women and children access the support they need to survive and move forward began that night. I vowed to do everything I could to ensure that no one would face the same roadblocks as I had.
I knew that the answer was not to create another charity, but to work with existing organisations to attain appropriate funding and staff. This is how the DV Collective came to be.
I look forward to working with you.
