I am currently working with a growing charity, looking to develop a viral campaign to raise awareness, support the NHS and health care systems and ultimately raise funds.

The charity has never before embarked on a campaign like this, so require someone who has previous experience of developing an online, viral campaign and bought it to a worldwide stage.

The client is setting a viral challenge which would be shared on social media for friends and family to partake. They have the pieces of the puzzle but need the expertise to put it all together and launch.

This is a very exciting time for the charity, so will be a great opportunity to get involved at the early stages with potential to grow further.

The rate is based on a salary of £35k with the higher value being a Ltd/ Umbrella worker. They can be flexible however. This role is also working from home.

If this sounds like something you have done before and would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
