Job Title: Digital Content & Community Lead
Location: London, Salford or Belfast, based from an RFF office with hybrid working arrangements and extensive travel across the UK and Ireland
Salary: £30,000-£35,000 per annum, depending on experience
Hours: 36 hours per week
Reports to: Deputy CEO & Director of Development
Job Description:
You’ll lead RFF’s Instagram and TikTok presence, creating distinctive social-first content and building engaged digital communities around our work.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll spend time with young people, staff, partners and ambassadors across the UK and Ireland, spotting, capturing and creating content that brings the Foundation to life. While Instagram and TikTok will be at the heart of the role, you’ll also support RFF’s wider digital and communications activity as required — including creating and adapting content for platforms such as LinkedIn, X and YouTube, supporting email communications and press activity, and helping strengthen RFF’s media presence around key events and opportunities.
We’re open to emerging talent and care more about what you can create, your understanding of digital communities and your creative instincts than where you learned your skills.
KEY DUTIES:
Social Content & Community
- Take day-to-day ownership of RFF’s Instagram and TikTok channels, growing active and engaged communities around our work.
- Develop a forward content plan while responding creatively to trends, conversations and opportunities in real time.
- Listen to our audiences, engage actively with our communities and use insight and performance to continually improve our content.
Content Creation & Production
- Proactively identify content opportunities across RFF’s work, partnerships and events, and plan, film, photograph, interview and edit high-quality social-first content across a range of formats.
- Create content specifically for digital platforms, particularly short-form video for Instagram Reels and TikTok, and maximise content captured by adapting it effectively across formats and channels.
- Use and advise on appropriate production equipment, software and tools, while maintaining an organised digital content and asset library for the Foundation.
Young People & Youth-led Content
- Build positive and appropriate relationships with young people, creating content with them rather than simply about them and representing their personalities, perspectives, interests and achievements authentically.
- Create opportunities for young people to contribute as creators, presenters, interviewers and storytellers and, over time, help identify and develop aspiring young content creators from across RFF.
- Ensure all content involving young people is created, captured, stored and used in line with RFF’s safeguarding, consent and data-protection requirements.
Partnerships, Ambassadors & Collaboration
- Work creatively with RFF’s corporate and industry partners, ambassadors and wider network to develop co-created content, campaigns and opportunities that benefit both RFF and its collaborators.
- Build strong relationships with partner communications and social teams, identifying opportunities for collaborative content, cross-platform amplification and reaching new communities and audiences.
- Work confidently across different environments - from community youth sessions to major corporate, media, sporting and cultural events - adapting your approach to different people, audiences and opportunities.
Wider Digital Content
- Support the creation and adaptation of content across RFF’s wider digital ecosystem, including YouTube, LinkedIn, X and the Foundation’s website, while keeping Instagram and TikTok as the primary focus.
- Work collaboratively with colleagues to support wider communications activity, including email communications, press and media activity, campaigns, launches and events, and make effective use of strong content across channels.
- Bring ideas about new platforms, formats, technologies and approaches that could strengthen RFF’s digital presence and help our content reach and engage different audiences.
Insight & Performance
- Monitor channel and content performance, using analytics to understand engagement, community growth, reach, audience behaviour and what content is creating meaningful interaction.
- Test new approaches and formats, learn from performance and audience response, and use those insights to continually develop RFF’s social content and community approach.
- Keep up to date with developments across social media, digital content, creator culture and platform changes, sharing clear insights and emerging opportunities with the Director of Development and wider team.

Service Development Manager
We are looking for an experienced and resourceful Service Development Manager to work closely with the CEO to establish and deliver a strong presence across Forest of Dean, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury.
This is an opportunity to join a supportive and purpose-driven team where your work will make a direct difference to families across Gloucestershire.
Position: Service Development Manager
Location: Remote/Gloucestershire, with regular travel across Forest of Dean, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury and occasional attendance at the Stroud office
Hours: Part-time, 30 hours per week
Salary: £38,000 pro rata (£30,811 actual salary for 30 hours per week)
Contract: 24-month fixed-term contract
Closing Date: 20th September 2026. This job opportunity may close early if we find an appropriate candidate before the closing date.
The Role
This is a hands-on role combining direct family support, project management, service development and partnership building. You will hold an appropriate caseload, develop new activity, build strong local referral pathways and help turn the countywide plans into practical support for families.
We need someone who is confident working independently, takes ownership, builds relationships quickly and can find practical solutions when there is no obvious route forward. The initial focus will be Forest of Dean, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury, but the role is designed to evolve as our countywide work develops.
Key accountabilities include:
- Service development and delivery
- Direct family support
- Project management
- Partnerships and referral pathways
- Funding, monitoring and sustainability
- Safeguarding and quality
The first year will focus on developing and delivering Home-Start services across Forest of Dean, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury. As the countywide work develops, the focus of the role may evolve to support wider service development across Gloucestershire.
For the first six weeks, the post will be predominantly based at the Stroud office for induction and orientation.
After this, the role will be mainly home and community based, with regular travel across Forest of Dean, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury and occasional attendance at the Stroud office.
About You
We are looking for someone who is practical, resourceful and motivated by making things happen.
You will be comfortable supporting a family one day and developing a new partnership or service the next and have enough frontline experience to understand what works for families and enough project-management discipline to turn ideas into effective delivery. You will not be joining a finished project with every detail already decided. We need someone who can understand the objective, identify what needs to happen next and move the work forward.
You will have experience of:
- Direct service delivery, ideally with families, children or communities
- Holding a caseload or providing ongoing one-to-one support
- Project management
- Developing or implementing new projects or services
- Building effective relationships with external organisations and professionals
- Working independently and taking responsibility for delivery
- Safeguarding and professional boundaries.
Practical requirements
You must:
- be able to drive;
- be willing and able to travel independently across Gloucestershire;
- be able to work predominantly from the Stroud office during the initial six-week induction period;
- subsequently be comfortable working from home and community locations;
- be confident using standard IT and case-recording systems.
If this sounds like you, then apply today!
