Hi all!

Even though it looks as a straightforward term, I'd appreciate your ideas.

It's a paid job in the UK.

Target language: Rioplatense Spanish (Argentina)

My translation:
Empleada en una ONG/organización sin fines de lucro

empleado en una organización sin fines de lucro

I'm offering this just to focus on the 'paid job' part of your description. Also, 'organización sin fines de lucro' is, in MHO, the rioplatense phrase of choice for 'charity'.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you everyone for your help! Much appreciated. I'm Argentine and this is the one option that I find of common use in Argentina. I've seen the references posted for the other alternatives and they are not sources from Argentina I'll go for usage here. The charity is an NGO. Thank you!"

Lynne (ELDR). – Mr President, I rise to request that you write to the Indian authorities again about the case of Ian Stillman, the British deaf ***charity worker*** who was imprisoned in India, convicted of drug smuggling. As you are aware, he was not provided with sign language interpretation at his trial.

Lynne (ELDR). – (EN) Señor Presidente, intervengo para solicitar que escriba a las autoridades de la India, de nuevo en relación con el caso de Ian Stillman, el ***trabajador de beneficencia*** británico sordo que fue encarcelado en India acusado de tráfico de drogas. Como usted sabe, durante el juicio no se le proporcionó un interprete del lenguaje de signos.

trabajador de caridad

This seems to me the most direct way of saying it, and I see examples of it online (see link)

It may be that the context calls for a slightly more formal term, so maybe 'empleado de una organización benéfica'.

I am familiar with el dialecto rioplatense, but I'm not aware of any regionally specific terms for this.
