WellFound is a small UK based charity working in West Africa. WellFound is more than a water charity. In addition to supplying communities with clean and safe drinking water, our projects also address women's empowerment and gender equality, nutrition, sanitation and hygiene, and improved opportunities for people in marginalised communities. The role of the Social Media & Communications Volunteer will be to work alongside WellFound staff to create engaging and informative digital media which will promote WellFound's work in rural sustainable development in West Africa. We are looking for an enthusiastic self starter with a flare for social media and producing digital content. In addition to managing WellFound's social media platforms, the Social Media & Communications Volunteer will also contribute towards newsletters, online campaigns and producing promotional materials. This role is a fantastic way to grow your CV whilst working with a sociable and friendly team and contributing towards improving the lives of those living in rural West Africa.

Some responsibilities of the role will be:
-Work with the Marketing Manager to further improve social media presence, increase the number of followers and drive more engagement across existing and new channels.

-Market research - Help generate new ideas for the charity
-Design marketing material for various projects, including leaflets and banners

Hours for this role are flexible and performance will be measured in content created and work completed rather than hours worked. Office hours are Monday to Friday 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. but as this opportunity is marketing and social media, some of this can be undertaken on various days at various times, often from home so there is room for flexibility. There will need to be some travel to office but a lot can be done from home. Start date is flexible but preferably mid to late September.
