Our Digital Engagement Volunteers help create and share innovative digital content to promote the work of our services in communities, so we can continue to improve life chances and benefit the wellbeing of local families.
Who you will be helping
Our volunteers work with us to help us use digital and social media platforms, to reach more individuals and families, ensuring that our limited resources are used to support those with the greatest need.
The difference you will make
Our volunteers help us get the word out about our service. Often those who would most benefit from our work are those who are least likely to hear about it. They may be people who are very isolated and don’t know that there is help available, or it may be that they are simply too busy dealing with the pressures of everyday life to look for support.
By working with us to engage with communities online, you will help increase the visibility of our services, you will help more people access our service and get the support they need.
Typical tasks within this role:
- Developing an annual content plan
- Producing posts that are timely and relevant to current social issues and international campaigns
