Who we are
Social AF are experts in Social Media Moderation, supporting some of the UK’s most recognised charities to manage high-volume, high-risk online communities with care, consistency and expertise. Established in 2021, we work with some of the biggest names in the third sector.
Our reputation for delivering an excellent social media moderation service has helped the company grow at a rapid pace. Our services include:
-
Social media moderation

Facebook group moderation
-
Supporter experience
We work at the frontline of charity communications, helping organisations engage their audiences, protect their communities and respond to sensitive issues in real time.
About the role
We’re looking for experienced social media and communications professionals to join our freelance moderation team.
Our moderators support a range of charity partners, working across always-on activity as well as high-profile campaigns and appeals. You’ll act as the voice of each organisation — engaging with supporters, answering queries, and ensuring conversations are managed safely and effectively.
This role is well suited as a flexible, additional source of income. Most of our moderators are freelancers or consultants working alongside other roles.
Working pattern
Moderation takes place between 9am and 9pm, Monday to Sunday.
Rather than working in one continuous block, you’ll complete your hours in short check-ins across the day to maintain coverage and meet response time targets.
Each account is allocated a set number of ‘active moderation hours’ per day (e.g. 2-3 hours), which are spread across multiple sessions.
For example, 3 hours may be split into 5-6 check-ins throughout the day.
You must be able to:
-
Start moderation from 9am (or earlier)
-
Monitor activity throughout the day
-
Complete a final check before 9pm
-
Adhere to our sub-3-hour response time
Please note: In your first month, you will typically start on fewer accounts and hours (approx. 3 per day) while you get up to speed. Hours usually increase from month two onwards.
Key Responsibilities
-
Act as the voice of our charity partners, consistently applying their tone of voice and brand guidelines
-
Respond to comments, messages and queries in a timely, accurate and empathetic way
-
Maintain a response time of under three hours
-
Identify, manage and de-escalate negative or inappropriate content
-
Hide or remove content in line with moderation policies
-
Identify and escalate safeguarding concerns appropriately
-
Signpost users to relevant support services where needed
-
Encourage positive engagement and supporter action, including donations where appropriate
-
Work across a range of moderation tools e.g. Sprout Social, Meta Business Suite, Agorapulse, Brandwatch
-
Manage your workload independently while following clear processes and guidance
What We’re Looking For
Essential
-
Minimum 3 years’ professional communications experience, working in-house for a charity or non-profit
-
Proven experience moderating social media channels
-
Excellent written communication skills, with strong attention to detail
-
Ability to work independently and manage time effectively across multiple check-ins
-
Confidence in making judgement calls using guidance rather than scripts
-
Understanding of fundraising and how charities engage supporters
-
Ability to remain calm and professional in high-volume or sensitive situations
-
Availability to work 3-6 days per week, including at least one weekend day
-
Flexibility to adapt quickly if issues arise
Desirable
-
Experience using moderation and social media management tools e.g. Sprout Social, Meta, Agorapulse, Brandwatch
What our moderators say:
“I love the flexibility of the role. The team are great and very supportive, but the flexibility allows you to still do things whilst working.” - Megan
“Working with Social AF has been so rewarding, I’ve been able to work with some amazing national charity partners. The team are so friendly and the flexibility has been really beneficial for my work-life balance.” - Sarah
Before applying, please ensure you have read the full job description, including the working pattern and response time expectations.
To apply, please submit your CV and a short covering statement answering the following:
- Share an example of how you’ve worked in house for a charity to moderate their social media channels and how you did so successfully. Please include the names of any moderation platforms and tools you’ve used (300 words max)
- How would you see this role fitting alongside your other commitments?
- How many days per week and active hours per day can you commit to?
- What are our moderation hours and response time expectations?
- Are you able to commit to at least one weekend day per week?
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

What the job involves
As Senior Monitoring and Evaluation Officer, you’ll play a central role in helping us understand and demonstrate the real difference our work makes. You’ll manage the development and delivery of monitoring and evaluation frameworks for our Health Equity, Services and Improvement directorate, ensuring we can track our progress against Prostate Cancer UK’s new strategy with confidence. As part of the Data and Evidence team, you’ll bring together data and insight to tell a clear story about our impact for men and the wider healthcare system.
In this role, you’ll design practical, meaningful ways to measure success, from shaping our key performance indicators to strengthening how we collect and use data over time. You’ll draw on information from multiple sources to build a joined-up view of our activity, and use clear, engaging data visualisation to bring your findings to life. You’ll also support reporting to boards and committees, presenting evidence in a way that is accessible, relevant and supports good decision-making.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, helping them evaluate their work and feel more confident using data in their day-to-day roles. By championing a culture of evidence-based decision making and continuous learning, you’ll help teams see the value of monitoring and evaluation and use it to improve what they do.
Alongside this, you’ll keep a strong overview of activity across the directorate, using data and insight to spot trends, highlight opportunities and drive improvements. You’ll also contribute to the ongoing development of our data and insight approach, helping us strengthen the quality, consistency and impact of how we evaluate and report on our work.
What we want from you
You’ll bring strong expertise in monitoring, evaluation and learning, with experience of applying approaches such as theory of change, outcome harvesting and logic models in practice. You’ll be skilled at evaluating public health or similar programmes, with a strong understanding of impact measurement and the ability to work with both qualitative and quantitative data. Experience in data visualisation is important, and familiarity with tools like Tableau or Power BI would be a bonus.
You’ll be comfortable designing surveys and using a range of data collection techniques, alongside a good understanding of UK health data sources. Just as importantly, you’ll be able to communicate complex findings in a clear and engaging way, helping others understand what the data is telling us and why it matters.
You’ll be well organised, with strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills, able to manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail. You’ll enjoy working collaboratively across teams, building strong relationships and supporting colleagues to use data with confidence in their day-to-day work.
If you’re motivated by using evidence to drive meaningful change and want to help shape how impact is measured across the organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
