• Maintain accurate membership, CRM and contact records, ensuring information is complete, up to date and securely handled.
• Record feedback from activities, comment sheets, and comment books, and share relevant information with colleagues where follow-up is required.
• Help keep the charity's social media, newsletters and promotional materials up to date by using agreed messages and brand guidelines.
• Support the development of stories, photographs, updates and case studies that explain the difference Dementia Together Wirral makes, ensuring appropriate consent is obtained.
• Work flexibly with colleagues to support members, volunteers and continuity of services during busy periods, annual leave or sickness.

Person specification

• Experience in an administrative, coordination, customer service, office support, or similar role, or strong transferable organisational skills.
• Good organisational skills, with the ability to manage priorities and complete tasks accurately and on time.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills, coupled with a friendly and professional approach.
• Good attention to detail and confidence in maintaining accurate records and information.
• Confidence with email, Microsoft Office or Microsoft 365, and willingness to learn other digital systems used by the charity.
• A practical, flexible and hands-on approach suited to working in a small charity.
• A commitment to confidentiality, safeguarding, inclusive practice, and respectful support for people living with dementia, carers, volunteers, and supporters.

Desirable

• Experience of working or volunteering with a charity, community organisation or small team.
• Experience of using a CRM, database, or membership system, or digital tools such as Canva, Mailchimp, or SharePoint.
• Experience of supporting social media, newsletters or other communications activities.
• An understanding of dementia, unpaid caring, or community-based support services, or a willingness to learn.

Why join us?

 This is an opportunity to make a real and visible difference to a small but growing charity with strong local roots. Through your administrative and communications support, you will help us reach more people, raise awareness of our services, and showcase the difference we make to people affected by dementia.

You will be joining at an important stage in our development, with the opportunity to help shape how we communicate with our community, strengthen our brand and develop our digital presence. You will have the freedom to bring ideas, creativity and initiative to how we promote our work and engage with members, supporters, volunteers and the wider community.

Closing date: 20th September 2026
Interview dates: Week commencing 28th September

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, communities and experiences. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment and would be happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments needed during the recruitment process.

The Role

We are seeking a creative, organised and audience-focused Social Media Officer to help myaware develop a more coordinated, consistent and effective social media presence.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in how myaware reaches, supports and engages people affected by myasthenia, as well as families, carers, supporters, fundraisers, healthcare professionals and the wider public. The role will help move myaware’s social media activity from a reactive, team-by-team approach to a more planned and strategic function that supports awareness, fundraising, professional services, membership growth, community engagement and brand consistency.

Working closely with the IT and Digital Communications Manager, Fundraising, Professional Services and colleagues across the organisation, you will help plan, create, schedule and evaluate social media content across myaware’s channels. You will support the development of a social media content calendar, create clear and engaging copy, produce accessible and brand-aligned graphics, and help teams turn their knowledge, updates and campaign activity into content that works for myaware’s audiences.

You will also support the development of reusable templates, clearer content processes, social media reporting, and appropriate use of tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud and AI-assisted content creation. The role will involve helping myaware make stronger use of formats such as posts, carousels, Stories, Reels, short-form video, polls and direct-message-led campaign activity, while ensuring content remains accurate, sensitive, accessible and appropriate for a health charity.

The Social Media Officer will be predominantly home based within the UK, with occasional travel required. The role will work collaboratively across myaware to support awareness activity, fundraising campaigns, events, community engagement, professional services, membership activity and wider digital communications.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with experience creating social media content for an organisation, charity, campaign, community group or similar setting. You will be confident writing clear and engaging copy for different audiences, using social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube or similar, and creating or adapting simple graphics using tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud or equivalent.

You will understand how social media can support awareness, fundraising, services, membership and community engagement, and you will be able to plan and organise content across multiple priorities. You will have a good eye for clarity, accessibility, tone and brand consistency, and be comfortable working with colleagues across different teams to turn ideas into effective social media content.

We are particularly interested in someone who is creative but practical, organised and reliable, warm in their communication style, and sensitive when working with health-related or personal content. You do not need to know everything about myasthenia before applying, but you should be willing to learn about the condition and the needs of people affected by it.

Experience in a charity, health, disability, community or membership organisation would be useful, as would experience supporting fundraising or event promotion through social media, creating Stories, Reels or carousel content, using analytics to improve content planning, or supporting campaigns and awareness activity.

Most importantly, you will share myaware’s values and be committed to helping us reach, support and connect more people affected by myasthenia.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
