HajjGuider is looking for a remote Islamic researcher and contributor who can help turn real pilgrimage questions into clearer guides, checklists, and planning resources.
This is a practical part-time research role with the potential to grow into a full-time position. It is not a generic copywriting brief. The right person should care about accuracy, clarity, and the difference between a page that merely ranks and a page that actually helps a pilgrim make a better decision.
What the role involves
- Researching UK Hajj and Umrah planning topics
- Helping improve guides for families, elderly travellers, women, and first-time pilgrims
- Finding useful mosque and community resource opportunities
- Reviewing package pages for missing practical details
- Building short checklists, FAQs, and planning notes from reliable sources
- Helping identify outreach opportunities with mosques, Islamic societies, and community publishers
Topics you may work on
- Hajj and Umrah preparation checklists
- UK airport comparison notes for Umrah travellers
- Mosque group briefing resources
- Shia Umrah planning questions and practical guide improvements
- Hotel distance, walking strain, rooming, and route comparison notes
- Frequently asked questions from UK pilgrims
Who this may suit
This role may suit a student, graduate, community organiser, Islamic society volunteer, travel content researcher, or someone with personal Hajj or Umrah planning experience.
You do not need to be a scholar. You do need to be careful. Religious rulings should be treated respectfully and checked through appropriate sources rather than guessed.
Useful experience
- Strong written English
- Comfortable researching online and summarising clearly
- Interest in Hajj, Umrah, Islamic travel, or Muslim community work
- Ability to separate verified facts from assumptions
- Familiarity with UK Muslim communities, mosques, or Islamic societies
- Bonus: Arabic, Urdu, Gujarati, Punjabi, or Persian language familiarity
Location and time
This is remote-first and flexible. We are looking for a part-time contributor to begin with, with the potential to grow into a full-time role depending on the person and fit.
How to apply
Send a short note explaining why this work interests you, any relevant experience, and one Hajj or Umrah topic you think UK pilgrims need explained better.
