About the role
After several years of relying on the efforts from our Co-Founders, Trustees and temporary volunteers we are looking to take the next step in our growth journey through the placement of our first longer-term volunteer.
This role will be designed to oversee all marketing and social media activities of the organization, and to provide leadership to a small group of wonderful and talented student volunteers from London based Universities as they complete tactical projects for ParaPride as part of their studies. This will also include supporting Daniele, our Co-Founder and Community Engagement Director, with planning and reporting of their activities to the university.
The leadership you will provide will initially be indirect, with Daniele being ultimately responsible for the students activities, so we expect this to be a wonderful opportunity for a seasoned marketing or social media professional who would like the opportunity to gain team leadership experience.

-
Oversee the continuous development of our content creation schedule and distribution of engaging, thought provoking and educational content for our media channels, notably LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

With your help we will be able to continue to drive awareness and engagement to our activities to make them more impactful than ever before.
About you

Level of commitment
We are a growing charity and while it is our goal to provide financial compensation for this role in the future, we are unable to initially.

Please do not apply at this time if this is a primary motivator for you, we hope to have more suitable roles for you in time to come.
We are dedicated to be fully respectful of your time, but expect a minimum contribution of 4 hours per month on average (varying according to demand), remote, completely flexible and at time convenient to you.

Volunteering
We are seeking dedicated individuals who are genuinely passionate about contributing to our cause. This voluntary role demands more than just an initial burst of enthusiasm; it requires a steadfast commitment and a deep-seated desire to make a difference.
We kindly ask that only those who are prepared to invest their time and energy, with a serious intent to contribute and grow with us, consider applying. This is not just a role, but a journey towards creating meaningful impact. If you are looking for a casual commitment or are uncertain about your availability and dedication, this might not be the right opportunity for you. We value the contribution of our volunteers immensely and wish to build a team that shares our commitment to the cause.
We strongly believe in having more diverse voices in our team and actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures, in particular those currently under-represented.
