Social Media Support Volunteer

Our challenge

We have in excess of 140,000 followers across our core social media channels of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

We use these channels to communicate key elements of our work to those affected by a brain tumour, and to support our strategic goals of halving the harm caused by brain tumours and doubling survival. This helps us move further, faster towards a cure.

Our channels have grown significantly in recent years and we are looking for additional support to make sure we are maximising their impact.

How can you help?

This is an exciting opportunity to support our marketing team by being involved in creative content creation work, engaging with our online community and reaching out to those talking about our cause.

The role will include:

• Working with our Social Media and Digital Marketing Manager to manage and engage with our social media community via comments, inbox messages and social listening;
• Working with our Social Media and Digital Marketing Manager to develop and schedule creative social media content;
• Assist with social media campaign and advertisement launches and
• Assisting with some social media reporting on our social media impact and content performance.

• Are creative and innovative, with a keen eye for detail
• Have experience working with families or individuals through a social care or support based role (desirable)
• Have prior experience in social media or marketing including social media analytics (desirable)

We particularly encourage applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in our sector, including individuals from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.

What impact will you have?

Your support will enable us to maximise our presence online, reaching and signposting more people that need our support, encouraging new fundraising activity, amplifying our brand and helping ensure our content creates the largest impact possible.

What can you gain from volunteering?

• You’ll have the opportunity to utilise your existing skills, while developing and learning new ones to take forward into the future
