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).
