Join us at Legasee in our mission to highlight the remarkable history of the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC). We're seeking a passionate and skilled Volunteer Social Media Manager to help us promote our Heritage Lottery project, shedding light on this often-overlooked chapter of British military history.
Our purpose at Legasee is to record history in the words of the people who made it, in order to educate and raise awareness about the bravery, service and sacrifice our military personnel have made over the past century.
What will you do?
In this role, you'll collaborate closely with our project team to identify and prioritise compelling content related to the WRAC project. You will have the opportunity to craft (or contribute to crafting) a detailed social media content plan to showcase the project and help to establish and manage new channels such as TikTok and Instagram to broaden our audience. Your responsibilities could also include creating and disseminating content that resonates with a range of audiences, as well as monitoring and analysing the effectiveness of our social media efforts to provide insights and recommendations for enhancement.
What are we looking for?
Ideal candidates will have a strong desire to contribute to a successful social media campaign and demonstrate excellent communication skills with a keen attention to detail. Experience in crafting engaging content for various social media platforms is preferred, along with a familiarity with content publishing tools. An interest in, knowledge of, or enthusiasm to learn about British history would be an advantage.
What's in it for you?
On joining the team, you'll benefit from a comprehensive programme of induction, training, and ongoing support. You'll gain valuable experience by working on a multi-agency project involving museums, military institutions, veterans, schools, and the charity sector — a valuable addition to any CV. Additionally, you'll become an integral part of the Legasee team, dedicated to amplifying the voices of courageous women from the WRAC project, ensuring their stories are honoured for generations to come.
