About DPAN
DPAN is a Community Interest Company working to close the implementation gap — helping disabled people know their rights and belong to their movement, and helping organisations turn inclusion commitments into practice. We're a small, disabled-led organisation in the early stages of building our public voice.
The role
We're looking for a volunteer to help grow and manage DPAN's social media presence, with a focus on:
- Instagram (high priority) — content planning, posting, community engagement
- TikTok (high priority, support role) — helping develop and schedule content alongside our existing production.
- LinkedIn — professional-audience content (organisations, funders, sector peers)
- Facebook — community-facing updates
What you'll be doing
- Planning and scheduling a regular posting cadence across platforms
- Adapting DPAN content (toolkits, campaign pieces, event updates) into platform-appropriate posts
- Monitoring engagement
- Flagging accessibility issues in our own content (alt text, captions, colour contrast) — accessibility is core to everything we publish
Time commitment: 4–5 hours/week, flexible
What this role offers
- A genuinely shaping role in a young organisation's public voice, not a "content mill" position
- Direct line to the founder (Sophie) rather than layers of sign-off
- A likely pathway to a paid, contracted role once DPAN secures funding to support one — DPAN's Fairness value commits to prioritising paid opportunities for disabled people as resources allow
- We're happy to cover reasonable expenses (e.g. Canva Pro) needed to do the role well — to be discussed once you start
Who we're looking for
- Some hands-on experience running social accounts — personal, a side project, a previous role, or coursework — and ideally a couple of examples you can point us to (even informal ones)
- A good eye for what makes content stop the scroll, not just "we posted something"
- Comfortable working independently — we're a small team, so you'll be trusted to plan and run things without heavy oversight, but expected to actually deliver on that trust
- Understanding of (or a genuine interest in learning) accessible content practice — captions, alt text, plain language
- Lived experience of disability is welcomed but not required
Great fit if you're:
- Building toward a career in social media/marketing and want real case studies for your portfolio
- A social-media-savvy student or early-career person looking for something substantial to add to your CV — not just a line item, but work you can actually show off
Applications close Friday 9 October 2026.
Please provide:
-a short note on why you're interested
-plus a couple of examples of social content you've made or managed (a personal account, a past role, coursework — informal is fine, we just want to see your eye for it).
A CV isn't required, but feel free to include one if you have it.
Non Charity Employer The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
