National Childbirth Trust (NCT) – Bromsgrove & Redditch

Description of the role
We’re looking for a Volunteer Social Media Manager to help us connect with more parents online. This is a remote role, so you’ll be communicating regularly with other volunteers in the branch you’re registered with.
To take on this role, you’ll need to have your own Facebook account or be able to create one. If you’re in a quieter area where you might be volunteering alone, we’ll give you all the tools you need to get started. However, we’ll need you to be proactive in regularly creating or finding relevant content for parents to help grow our audience on the branch’s social media.
What’s Involved? As a Volunteer Social Media Manager, you’ll be instrumental in boosting our online presence. Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- Strategy & Planning: Helping us develop and execute a social media strategy to increase engagement, grow our followers/likes, and create a content calendar.
- Content Creation: Producing fresh and engaging content for our social media channels, primarily Facebook and Instagram.
- Community Engagement: Engaging with our followers and encouraging interaction to build a vibrant online community.
- Channel Management: Managing and maintaining our social media channels on a regular basis to ensure they’re always active and up-to-date.
You must have your own Facebook account.
Practical Considerations
This is a flexible role that can fit around your existing commitments and availability. The time you spend volunteering may vary depending on the activities you’re supporting. You could volunteer with as little as 2 hours per month, but we do expect you to schedule posts 2-3 times per week on the page. We’re ideally looking for people who can volunteer for at least 6 months.
Any specific requirements
- Must be 18 or over to apply.
Where is the opportunity based?
The opportunity is a work from home role.
When is the opportunity available?
Days are flexible – volunteering days available to be discussed between you and the organisation.
