About Ayrshire Recording Services

For over 40 years, Ayrshire Recording Services has been a lifeline for visually impaired people across Ayrshire. We're a passionate charity that transforms local newspapers into engaging audio recordings, delivered directly to our listeners' homes. It's beautifully simple but incredibly powerful - keeping people connected to their community and combatting loneliness. We believe everyone deserves to hear their community's story.

The Opportunity: Help Us Connect Communities Online!

Whether you're a social media-savvy student who lives on Instagram or a marketing professional looking to make a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you! We're looking for a volunteer Social Media Content Creator & Manager to help us expand our reach and connect with more people who need our vital service.

This flexible, remote role offers something for everyone:

For Students & Social Media Natives:

• Learn by doing: Build your portfolio with real-world social media experience that matters
• Flexible commitment: Work around your studies with manageable weekly time slots
• Creative freedom: Bring your fresh ideas and platform knowledge to help us reach new audiences
• Skill development: Gain professional social media experience you can't get in textbooks
• Great references: Perfect for your CV and future applications
• No pressure environment: We'll support you every step of the way!

For Marketing Professionals & Experienced Creators:

• Strategic impact: Help shape our entire digital presence and expansion strategy
• Showcase expertise: Apply your skills to meaningful storytelling that makes a real difference
• Leadership opportunities: Mentor other volunteers and guide our social media direction
• Analytics and optimisation: Use data to maximise our community impact
• Build your charity portfolio: Gain valuable nonprofit communications experience

What You'll Be Doing:

Your contributions will vary based on your experience and availability:

Core Activities (Everyone):

• Create engaging social media content across multiple platforms
• Manage our existing Facebook presence and help expand to Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, and others
• Schedule and post content consistently to build audience engagement
• Respond to comments, messages, and build genuine community connections
• Share volunteer stories, service impact, and behind-the-scenes content
• Help grow our follower base and reach more people who need our services
• Create content to attract new volunteers and showcase volunteering opportunities
• Develop posts highlighting our impact to attract potential sponsors and supporters

Advanced Opportunities (For Experienced Creators):

• Develop comprehensive social media strategies and content calendars
• Analyse performance metrics and optimise content for maximum reach
• Create platform-specific content strategies (Instagram stories, TikTok trends, LinkedIn posts)
• Lead targeted campaigns for volunteer recruitment and sponsor outreach
• Create compelling impact stories and case studies to attract potential sponsors
• Engage with local businesses, community groups, and potential funding partners
• Develop sponsor recognition content and partnership announcements
• Mentor newer volunteers and coordinate with our video content creator
• Advise on emerging platforms and social media best practices

We're Looking For:

Essential (Everyone Needs):

• Enthusiasm for social media and helping others
• Understanding of at least one social media platform well
• Ability to work independently and represent our charity authentically
• Genuine care for supporting isolated community members
• Basic writing skills and eye for engaging content

Professional Level (Bonus for Advanced Roles):

• Graphic design skills or familiarity with tools like Canva
• Experience with sponsor outreach, partnership development, or B2B engagement

The Reality Check:

We're a small charity with huge hearts but zero budget for premium tools. You'll use free platforms and scheduling tools.. What we offer instead is complete creative freedom, trusted autonomy, flexible scheduling, and the chance to build something meaningful from the ground up.

Working Arrangements:

This role is completely remote and flexible. Whether you're fitting this around a full-time job, between classes, or during your free time, we'll make it work. You'll initially report to our volunteer coordinator but will quickly gain autonomy to represent us authentically across platforms.

Time commitment: From 3-5 hours per week (perfect for students) up to whatever you can offer (great for professionals wanting deeper involvement). We understand social media works best with consistent, smaller time blocks rather than long sessions.

Collaboration: Sometimes you'll coordinate closely with our video content creator to cross-promote content, other times you'll work independently based on the type of content and campaigns.

Ready to Make a Difference?

For Students/New to Social Media Management: Just email us with a few lines about why this interests you and which social media platforms you know well (personal use totally counts!).

For Marketing Professionals/Experienced Social Media Managers: Send us your CV or experience outline, a brief note about your interest in the role, and examples of social media accounts you've managed (portfolio links welcome but not essential).

Questions? Don't hesitate to reach out - we're friendly people who'd love to chat about what's involved and how we can make this work for you.

What Makes This Special:

Every post you create, every comment you respond to, every new follower you gain helps us reach more people who need our service, attract volunteers to join our mission, and connect with potential sponsors who want to support our work. Whether you're sharing smartphone photos or creating sophisticated outreach strategies, you're helping us grow our impact and support more visually impaired people in our community.

We're growing fast and may need multiple social media volunteers eventually - early volunteers will have the opportunity to shape how we expand and potentially coordinate with future team members.

Ayrshire Recording Services is an equal opportunities organisation and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified persons.
