Every year, we empower over 40,000 young people to find their voice, share their stories, and build the confidence to be heard. We are creative, ambitious, and exist to make a real impact, with digital storytelling as a key tool for change.
What Makes This Role Special
Your work will go far beyond likes and clicks. You’ll see your digital content directly inspire young people, connect with educators, and raise Speakers Trust’s profile nationwide.

You’ll have ownership of our digital content: crafting impactful videos, visuals, and copy for our social channels and websites, and creating engaging resources for marketing, learning and programme delivery. You’ll energise our digital platforms while continuously improving their effectiveness and reach.
This role is delivery-first: you’ll “own” the hands-on creation, scheduling, and optimisation of digital content. You’ll have input into what and when we share and will help shape digital plans, but the heart of the job is practical content production and sharing. Press and comms partnerships are supporting responsibilities, not the main focus.
Your Key Responsibilities
1. Digital Content Creation & Delivery (Primary)
- Design, produce, and post engaging multimedia assets (video, graphics, infographics, stories) for social media, and our websites.
- Amplify authentic stories, ideas, and perspectives from our beneficiaries to move and motivate audiences.

- Work with colleagues to create compelling, accessible learning resources and marketing materials for schools, corporate partners, funders, and events.
- Design digital newsletters, reports, and campaign materials that support fundraising, stewardship, and participant development.
4. Marketing of Programmes
- Provide marketing support to the programmes team to help promote our programmes to schools and other charities primarily through developing marketing collateral and supporting outbound email campaigns
5. Website Management & Continuous Improvement
- Manage day-to-day website updates, keeping our sites fresh, welcoming, and easy to navigate.
- Seek out and implement small improvements that enhance user experience, accessibility, and recruitment effectiveness.
6. Press, Media & Profile
- Develop and deliver a practical approach to meeting regional press grant requirements (e.g. one piece per final); contribute occasional press releases if needed.
7. Support the Team’s broader objectives
- Help colleagues use digital tools, solve basic problems, and build digital skills through sharing, to improve our digital content
- Champion creative, inclusive, and accessible digital comms internally.
- Representing Speakers Trust at external events and networking opportunities
- Support the CEO in building their advocacy around the issues important to Speakers Trust – Oracy Education and Youth Voice
- Bring a collaborative, positive approach to tackling everyday challenges faced by small charities
- What Success Looks Like
- Our digital channels are vibrant and ever-evolving—showcasing new stories and resources that inspire, inform, and connect.
- Social media and websites consistently attract and engage stakeholders, schools, beneficiaries, volunteers and funders.
- Digital assets, learning resources, and stakeholder comms are professional, accessible, and “on brand.”
- Our programmes have even more adoption and engagement.
There is potential to broaden the role and extend the contract based on funding and impact.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong track record in creating digital content, managing social media, and designing educational/promotional materials (charity, youth, or education sector experience a plus).
- Experience with website content management and the ability to identify and deliver incremental improvements.
- Skilled in video and design (Canva, CapCut, Adobe, or similar) and software to support website and newsletter design.
- Clear, compelling written English for content, newsletters, and reports.
- Ability to grow and nurture digital communities—especially for school, volunteer, and judge recruitment.
- Organised, adaptable, and comfortable working independently and in a team.
- Supportive, sharing, and positive in approach.
- Passion for youth empowerment, diversity, and practical creativity.
What We Offer
- Salary: £30,000–£35,000 per annum (pro-rata, 0.6 FTE, depending on experience)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata)
- Pension scheme with auto-enrolment
