Job description

Social Media Coordinator – Volunteer

To join our existing team and be responsible for a single platform. Help grow SNF’s social media presence by creating and scheduling posts, gathering content, engaging with followers, supporting campaigns, and ensuring our messaging is consistent, professional and aligned with SNF’s mission.

What difference will you make?

As a Social Media Coordinator, you will strengthen SNF’s external presence. As a small CIC with major ambitions, our social channels are one of the few ways we reach mentors, mentees, partners, supporters and potential funders. Clear, consistent online communication drives awareness, credibility and trust.

With a dedicated volunteer managing the channels, SNF will be able to share impact stories, promote events, highlight partnerships, celebrate successes and keep our community engaged. Good social media output helps people understand what we do, why it matters and how they can get involved.

How your work supports our strategic aims

• Growing visibility within the health and safety community
• Strengthening relationships with partners and sponsors through regular updates
• Supporting recruitment of mentors, mentees and volunteers
• Promoting events, workshops and collaborations
• Showcasing impact stories that can support fundraising and sponsorship bids
• Building a recognisable, credible brand for SNF as we expand

With a steady, thoughtful social media presence, SNF looks more established, more trustworthy and more active. This can open doors to opportunities we would otherwise miss.

The volunteer’s work frees up the founder and other volunteers to focus on operations, partnerships and service delivery. It ensures our communication isn’t dependent on spare time or last‑minute effort.

Ultimately, this role helps SNF reach more people from disadvantaged backgrounds by boosting engagement, widening our network and telling our story clearly and consistently.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who understands how to communicate effectively on social media and can produce clear, engaging posts. You don’t need to be an influencer, but you do need to write well, understand what makes content engaging and know how to tailor messages for different platforms.

Strong organization and consistency are essential. You’ll manage a simple content schedule, plan posts in advance and respond to emerging opportunities. Reliability matters—quiet periods on social media cause organisations to lose momentum quickly.

Ideally at least 3 years’ experience with content creation, community management, marketing, or social media scheduling tools is helpful but not essential. If you’ve run social accounts for a club, project or your workplace—or even your own personal/professional accounts—that’s all relevant.

A good eye for simple design helps. You don’t need to be a graphic designer, but basic confidence using Canva or similar tools will make your life easier. We can provide templates if needed.

You should be proactive in gathering content from volunteers, partners and events. This means sending reminders, asking for quotes or photos, or spotting useful updates. Communication skills matter—most people need a nudge to share their news.

You’ll work closely with the founder and the newsletter editor to keep messaging aligned. Collaboration, openness to feedback and a sense of initiative are essential.

If you enjoy telling stories, simplifying information and helping organisations show up well online, this role is a great fit.

What will you be doing?

The volunteer will create and schedule posts across SNF’s social channels, gather content from volunteers and partners, share updates, drive engagement and support campaigns. They’ll keep messaging consistent and on‑brand, monitoring activity and highlighting opportunities to increase reach.
