- Proofread content supplied by colleagues and ensuring all posts follow a consistent tone of voice
- Work closely with colleagues across the Comms Directorate to establish best practice in developing new content for NSPCC’s social media platforms
- Secure and brief talent for social media content to maximise reach with new audiences
We are looking for someone with:
- Exceptional organisation and planning skills
- Excellent written communication skills and experience with copy-writing for social media platforms
- A track record of collaboration and the ability to negotiate with stakeholders to reach social-first solutions
- Knowledge and experience in managing a social media calendar with success in creating and commissioning innovative and engaging social media content
