Why Access Social Care Exists
Every day, millions of older and disabled people are denied the social care they need. Most local authorities can’t meet the growing demand for care, and none are confident they can meet their legal duties in the future. This affects all of us - we will all need social care at some point in our lives.
We all have a right to hold public bodies to account, but most of us cannot afford lawyers so rely on legal aid. The 92% drop in legal aid cases since 2010 means that we have nowhere to turn. Without access to justice, our rights do not exist. The rule of law is broken.
What we do
Access Social Care provides free legal advice and information for people with social care needs, helping achieve a better quality of life. We work with communities to increase knowledge of the law and our rights. We highlight the gap left by cuts to Legal Aid and provide advice for those who can’t afford it.
With a 98% success rate, our network of lawyers provide access to justice when things go wrong. We collaborate with social services whilst ensuring legal obligations are met. We are working towards a future where social care is adequately funded, and we all get the support we need.
We provide rights awareness training to front line managers, and legal advice and support to families and individuals. As well as providing access to justice, our aim is to drive system level change through evidence-led influencing and strategic casework.
This is an exciting time to join ASC. We have a new strategy and are growing quickly including across our senior leadership team. We have more than doubled in size and income since we started operating in April 2020 and we anticipate that this strong growth will continue for the duration of our next strategic period. We are dedicated to the people who need our help, but we also care deeply about our team, and we think that work should be an exciting and satisfying place to be.

This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
Background
Social AF are experts in Social Media Moderation. Established in 2021, we work with some of the biggest names in the third sector and have supported charities to raise over £25 million.
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
-
On-page messaging for Facebook Fundraisers
We are on the lookout for talented comms experts who understand the importance of effective, accurate, and timely online communications and can enhance the work of our expanding social media moderation team.
** The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 3 years' professional social media moderation experience, working with a large charity with an active social media following. They will understand the importance of building positive engagement and relationships with the public and be committed to acting in the best interests of our charity partners.
If you do not have 3 years of professional social media moderation experience, working in-house for a charity please do not apply. You will not be shortlisted.
About the role
Our dedicated team moderates our full-service accounts (all organic content and paid ads) as well as one-off campaigns and appeals for some of the most recognisable charities in the sector.
This role is perfect for skilled comms experts who can provide excellent supporter care and is best suited as an additional source of income (the majority of our team are freelancers and consultants). You must be able to begin moderation at 9 am (or earlier), wrap up by 9 pm and adhere to our sub-three-hour response time.
Our moderators must have a minimum of three years’ in-house, third-sector comms experience.
As a Social Media Moderator, you would be responsible for:
-
Becoming the voice of the cause you are representing, adhering to their brand guidelines and tone of voice at all times
-
Identifying, escalating and signposting any safeguarding issues
-
Managing your own time and work on own initiative
-
Working across a range of social media management tools
-
Responding/actioning to all comments and queries in under three hours
-
Maximising donations when required
-
Going above and beyond at all times to provide supporters with an incredible experience
Our moderation takes place between 9 am and 9 pm, Monday-Sunday.
Different accounts will require varying levels of ‘active’ hours (defined as time spent taking action). You will split your active hours between 9am and 9pm. For example, for an account which requires three active hours, you might carry out your work in six, thirty minute instalments throughout the shift.
As you gain experience, you will be allocated multiple accounts which will enable you to increase your hours worked.
Whilst you need to be on hand to monitor your accounts during 9am-9pm, the role does allow for a great deal of personal flexibility.
The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 3 years' professional comms experience, working with a large charity with an active social media following. They will understand the importance of building positive engagement and relationships with the public and be committed to act in the best interests of our charity partners.
Full training will be provided alongside regular one-to-one and team catch-ups. Here’s what some of our moderators say about working at Social AF:
“I love the flexibility of the role. The team are great and are very helpful, 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 of this role has been really beneficial to me, my family and my work-life balance” Sarah
Please read our full job description before applying. Applicants that don't meet our minimum criteria won't be considered for interview.
Please submit your CV alongside a short covering statement to let us know why you are best suited to this role.
As part of your application, you will be required to answer the following questions:
- Do you have at least 3 years of professional social media moderation experience, working in-house for a charity?
- Please share an example of how you’ve successfully managed a charities’ social media channel (200 words or less)
- How many days per week and active hours per day would you be able to commit to?
- Please relay our start and finish times, alongside our response time.
- Are you happy to commit to one weekend day per week?
Good luck!
