Job description

Purpose

To plan, create, and develop high-quality, neuro-affirming social media that grows our audience, drives enquiries for services and groups, and protects the wellbeing and dignity of our community.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategy & Planning

    • Develop a simple, channel-specific content plan (quarterly themes; monthly calendar; weekly posts).

    • Align content with the organisational strategy, campaigns, and fundraising/activity cycles.

  • Content Creation & Publishing

    • Write clear, accessible copy; produce short-form video, graphics, and carousels consistent with brand guidelines.

    • Schedule and publish across core platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X) using approved tools.

    • Ensure accessibility (alt text, captions, readable layouts) and apply a neuro-affirming style.

  • Community Management

    • Monitor comments and messages; respond or triage sensitively using agreed tone and response scripts.

    • Enforce house rules; escalate safeguarding concerns via the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).

  • Campaigns & Partnerships

    • Support campaign roll-outs (service launches, recruitment, fundraising); coordinate with colleagues and partners.

    • Source and manage consented user stories; maintain a compliant photo/video asset bank.

  • Insights & Reporting

    • Track core metrics (reach, engagement, click-throughs, conversions to sign-ups or enquiries).

    • Produce a concise monthly dashboard with highlights, risks, and next steps; test and learn.

  • Governance & Compliance

    • Uphold safeguarding, confidentiality, and data-protection standards (GDPR/ICO).

    • Follow brand, style, and approvals processes; maintain a crisis-communications/escalation log.

    • Avoid clinical advice or individual case discussion on public channels.

Person Specification

Essential

  • Clear, audience-centred writing and editing skills; confident with short-form video and basic design.

  • Working knowledge of at least two platforms listed above and a scheduler (e.g., Meta Business Suite/Buffer).

  • Sound judgement online; able to moderate calmly and escalate concerns appropriately.

  • Commitment to accessibility, equality, diversity, and inclusion; comfortable with a neuro-affirming approach.

  • Organised, reliable, and able to meet light weekly deadlines with minimal supervision.

Desirable

  • Familiarity with analytics, UTM links, and simple reporting in spreadsheets or dashboards.

  • Experience in a charity/VCSE, education, health, or workplace inclusion context.

  • Basic Canva/Adobe skills and simple video editing on mobile/desktop.

  • Understanding of safeguarding in digital spaces; MHFA or similar is a bonus.

  • Lived experience of ADHD or neurodivergence (welcomed but not required).

Safeguarding & Data Protection

  • This rôle interacts with the public online. You will complete safeguarding and data-protection briefings and follow our escalation procedures. A DBS check may be requested depending on activity (e.g., direct engagement with young people or vulnerable adults at events).

Induction, Support & Benefits

  • Induction covering brand, tone, safeguarding, data protection, and tools.

  • Named supervisor (Managing Director or Marketing & Communications Lead) with regular check-ins.

  • Training resources (accessibility, inclusive language, social media best practice).

  • References and portfolio credit for significant campaigns.

Success Measures (first 3–6 months)

  • Consistent content cadence delivered against the calendar.

  • Month-on-month growth in reach/engagement and click-throughs to priority actions (event sign-ups, enquiries).

  • Evident improvement in accessibility and brand consistency.

  • Clear moderation record with timely escalations and zero unmanaged risks.

How to Apply

Please send a short CV or LinkedIn profile and 2–3 examples of posts/reels/graphics you have produced (links or files). In a brief covering note (max 300 words), outline:

  1. a channel you enjoy and why,

  2. a quick idea for a one-month content theme for ThriveSpark, and

  3. your typical availability.

ThriveSpark CIC is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly encourage those with lived experience of ADHD or neurodivergence to apply. Adjustments are available throughout recruitment and volunteering.
