• Keep the website up to date with news, blogs and community stories, and support monthly newsletter communications via Squarespace and Mailchimp.
   

• Maintain accurate supporter records on our CRM (we use Beacon), updating contact and engagement information regularly.
   

• Utilise Eventbrite to promote events and ensure the charity’s JustGiving Page is up to date with any fundraising campaigns
   

What you’ll get

• Join us as the first person in this new role and help shape its direction as the charity grows. A fantastic opportunity to learn, contribute, and make a real impact.
   

• Be part of a rapidly growing grassroots charity with a mission to reduce loneliness and increase wellbeing.

• A flexible role with the opportunity to mostly work remotely.
   

• 20 days per year annual leave, alongside UK bank holidays (pro-rated for part-time staff), plus an extra day off to celebrate your birthday.
   

• Dog-friendly annual events: Celebrate and connect with your colleagues, and bring your furry friend along!
