About The Role

We're looking for a creative, organised, and community-minded content creator to join our team on a part-time basis. You'll support our communications work by creating and managing content for our social media platforms and newsletters. This is a great opportunity to tell stories that matter, highlight community impact, and strengthen relationships with supporters and participants.

If you're a natural storyteller with a good eye for visuals and the ability to capture the warmth and energy of community work, we'd love to hear from you. No prior professional experience is necessary—we'll provide full training and support.

What You'll Do

Social Media Content Creation

Develop and schedule engaging posts, reels, captions, graphics, and short-form videos for social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Attend programmes and community events to capture photos, videos, and stories. Maintain a consistent content calendar and monitor engagement to increase reach and visibility.

Newsletter and Communications

Draft and assemble regular newsletters for supporters, partners, and community members. Create campaign-related content for fundraising initiatives and event promotions. Help identify and develop stories that demonstrate impact across programmes and the community.

Storytelling and Content Development

Work with programme staff to gather updates, participant stories, photos, and highlights. Translate programme activities into compelling content for different audiences. Maintain a library of photos, videos, and story ideas for future use. Support copywriting needs for flyers, event promotions, and other materials.

Brand and Voice

Ensure all content reflects the organisation's voice and style. Maintain consistency in branding and messaging across platforms. Exercise sound judgment and sensitivity when sharing stories and information about community members.

What We're Looking For

Ideally, you'll have some experience creating social media content—whether for an organisation, small business, or campaign—but this is not required. What matters most is:

Strong writing, editing, and storytelling skills. Comfort creating short-form video, graphics, and email content. Experience using tools such as Canva, Mailchimp, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or basic photo and video editing apps. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage a content calendar. Ability to work independently while collaborating with colleagues. Attention to detail, good judgment, and respect for confidentiality. Availability to attend occasional evening or weekend events as needed.

Why Join Us

Work in a supportive, community-focused environment with a flexible schedule. Receive paid time off and access to additional employee benefits. Develop real skills in digital content creation while contributing to meaningful community work. Learn from experienced colleagues across different departments.

We're an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse team. If you meet some, but not all, of the qualifications listed above and feel you could be a good fit for this role, we encourage you to apply. We welcome new perspectives and insights.
