The Role
As ORCD UK's founding Social Media Volunteer, you will be responsible for building the organisation's presence on Instagram and LinkedIn from zero and for growing an audience of donors, diaspora supporters, trustees and NGO partners.
You will not be starting from a blank page. ORCD UK has prepared a complete Social Media Toolkit with a 12-week content plan, 30+ ready-to-post captions, Canva design instructions, a hashtag strategy, and WhatsApp broadcast guidance. Your job is to execute it, and to bring your own creativity, judgment, and digital instincts to make it impactful.
This is not a generic charity volunteer role.
ORCD has delivered over $100 million in humanitarian aid across Afghanistan since 2012. It is the first Afghan NGO with UN ECOSOC Special Consultative Status. Its partners include UNICEF, WFP and WHO.
ORCD UK will be the UK entity of ORCD Global. We have no social media presence but we have an extraordinary story, a clear strategy and a ready-made toolkit and we need someone with the skills to tell it.
What You'll Actually Do
Week to week:
• Create and schedule 4–5 Instagram posts per week using ready-made copy and Canva templates
• Post 2–3 times per week on LinkedIn with a more professional tone
• Manage ORCD UK's Instagram Stories daily: polls, facts, countdowns, quotes
• Build and maintain a WhatsApp broadcast list: sending 1–2 messages per week/2 weeks
• Monitor comments and DMs, respond or flag to the ORCD UK Lead
Monthly:
• Report key metrics to the ORCD UK Lead: followers, engagement, reach, link clicks
• Update the content calendar for the coming month
• Create new Canva templates as new content needs emerge
• Coordinate with the Communications Volunteer on captions and copy
• Attend a monthly check-in with the ORCD UK Lead (30 minutes, online)
Essential Criteria
Active Instagram and LinkedIn user, you know how the platforms work. Confident using TikTok, YouTube and Facebook
Confident using Canva (or other tools) to create compelling materials
Reliable, you can commit to 5-7 hours per week consistently
Self-motivated and you can work independently from a written brief
Committed to humanitarian work and Afghanistan
Comfortable with ORCD UK's values: Afghan-led on the ground, honest and respectful

Experience managing social media for a charity, brand, or community organisation
Knowledge of Islamic giving culture e.g Zakat, Sadaqah, Ramadan fundraising
Understanding of the Afghan community in the UK
Experience with scheduling tools: Buffer, Later or Meta Business Suite
Photography or video editing skills (for future content)
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

AYDA needs help to support the development of young people from all backgrounds, particularly women and girls, through education, training and family programmes.
As a small volunteer-run charity, AYDA does not have the expertise to create an impactful social media presence. This is especially the case with LinkedIn which we believe to be pivotal in identifying and engaging with potential partners across the UK. This would enable our programmes to be rolled out more widely and so gain more traction.
Most urgently we need someone to work directly with the Chair, Lucy Njomo, to create a powerful profile for the charity. LinkedIn does offer support to "not for profit" organisations, but we have neither the knowledge nor the capabilities within the board of trustees to take advantage of this. We are seeking a confident professional who can take on the challenge of projecting AYDA and its critical work much more effectively to like-minded groups who could and should be working with us to tackle VAWG in society.
We also know that networking via LinkedIn will be fundamental in fuelling a separate initiative to build youth education and vocational training centre in Cameroon. Land and official permission have already been acquired so now we need to build the consortium to deliver this critical initiative.
The desired individual should therefore be able to build a powerful profile and the network visibility we need to bring these vital initiatives into the spotlight to attract both funding and delivery partners.
What are we looking for?
The ideal person to help us will be very comfortable in the social media world, particularly the use of LinkedIn to build strong B2B networks and relationships. Ideally they would also have some third sector experience in creating powerful charity profiles. Since this is an unpaid role, it is likely that the individual would have a personal passion for combatting VAWG in all sections of UK society and/or creating youth development opportunities in one of the poorest countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Understanding of the capabilities of LinkedIn as a platform in general and its support structure for charitable organisations is critical.
What difference will you make?
We accept that we do not have the ability to maximise the potential offered by platforms such as LinkedIn. So, although we welcome advice, we urgently need someone to take on the challenge of turning that into positive actions to empower both the UK VAWG and Cameroon youth development initiatives.
Within the UK the specific impact goals are to:
- Create awareness and provide information about various forms of violence against women and girls. Educate target audiences about the prevalence and impact of VAWG on individuals, families and communities.
- Promote gender equality, by challenging harmful gender norms, fostering respectful relationships, and creating safe environments for women and girls.
- Introduce VAWG survivors to local support services such as helplines, shelters, counselling centres and legal aid organisations.
- Provide education and resources to engage men as allies and promote healthy masculinity. Encourage them as to challenge sexist attitudes and behaviours within their communities.
- Explore ways to support and empower survivors of VAWG. This can include trauma-informed approaches, self-care strategies, and opportunities for economic empowerment.
- Collaboration with key stakeholders in building partnerships to enhance communities’ positive response to VAWG. Highlight the significance of collaborations with government agencies, NGOs, law enforcement, health care providers and educational institutions.
For Cameroon the impact will come from opening doors to potential international funding, construction and delivery partners for the vocational training centre.
AYDA is proud of its work to date and now needs a LinkedIn presence that can take us to the next level.
We will contact all applicants and offer a short informal phone call with the Chair, Lucy Njomo, to explore opportunities.
