We have an exciting new volunteering opportunity to work as part of a small Communications team. This is a part-time role, working either in our office or remotely, for 7.5 hours per week. It can be done over the course of a day or spread out across the week.

The role involves a wide range of exciting tasks, including:

  • Producing and editing blog posts on our websites
  • Support with planning, scheduling and producing social media content
  • Helping with in-person and online events, including promotional activity
  • Contributing to digital and print newsletters for our various projects

Desirable skills and qualities needed for the role include good written and verbal communications. Knowledge of social media platforms and tools like WordPress and Mailchimp is desirable, although training will be provided to use them if needed.

Other free training will be provided, including on advocacy and safeguarding adults and children.

Support provided

As Communications Volunteer Assistant, you will be supported by our Communications and Network Officer in regular catchups and supervisions. You will also be able to get support from other members of our wider Central Services team, as well as access to any additional training you might need.

Your travel expenses will be covered by The Advonet Group. In addition, when working in the office, we will provide you a lunch voucher to use at Café Leep. If working at an external venue e.g. for an event, costs for food of up to £5 will be reimbursed.
