Type: Full-time (35 hours per week), permanent
Location: MS National Office, NW London
Salary: £30,010 - £34,577 plus excellent benefits
Salary Band: Band E, Level 1
Department: Digital and Content

At the MS Society, we make sure people living with MS are at the centre of everything we do. And it’s this commitment that unites us across the UK.

Our work is based on the hopes and aspirations of our MS community. Together we campaign at all levels, fund ground-breaking research and provide award winning support and information.

Our people are our greatest asset and the key to our success. We offer a vibrant, progressive environment where you will make a difference.

About this job 
In this role, you will be working alongside a number of managers in our Digital Engagement team to help make our channels as creative as possible. You will always be thinking about new ways to engage our audiences, sharing ideas and finding opportunities to develop and share engaging content.

You’ll respond to comments, tweets and messages from the public across our social media channels and our forum, and work with our Helpline team to ensure vulnerable supporters get the help they need.

You will work closely with our Supporter Email Manager to help create and build emails and manage data. You will regularly report back on how our channels are performing, helping us to continually optimise.

Strong copy writing skills are essential, and you will thrive working in a fast-paced innovative environment. You will be joining our friendly and supportive team at an exciting stage of our development, as we continue to use digital to help improve the lives of people living with MS.

We offer 27 days annual leave (excluding bank holidays), travel loan and various other benefits such as supported developmental opportunities.

The MS Society is in the midst of an exciting, transformational, period which builds on our great history and will drive us towards achieving our mission and vision as we embark on our new 5 year strategy.

Part of this exciting transformation will include an office move for our current National Centre in Cricklewood, NW London to a different location in London. We are currently defining where and what type of accommodation this will be and we really want our staff to be involved in that decision and therefore we don’t envisage a move before Sept 2020.

Closing date: 9am on Tuesday 3rd March 2020
