Volunteer SEO Expert needed to launch Long Covid Support's new digital home
What will you be doing (role overview)?:
Long Covid Support is moving to a new website and stepping forward with a fresh brand identity. We need an SEO expert to help us get it right from day one. This is a chance to make a real impact. You'll be at the heart of our digital launch, collaborating closely with our volunteer team, brand advisors, and IT support to ensure our new website reaches the people who need it most.
What are we looking for (about you)?
Essential skills and experience:
· Solid knowledge of SEO principles and practices (on-page optimisation, technical SEO, keyword research, etc.)
· Experience with Google Analytics and ability to set up meaningful tracking
· Able to use Squarespace
· Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical people
· Enthusiasm for working with a charity and making a difference
· Good communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
Nice to have:
· Experience with Google Ad Grants
· Understanding of website transitions and migration SEO
What difference will you make:
When people search for help, we want them to find us. Better SEO means our new website reaches more people with Long Covid at the moment they're looking for support. Your work will directly help us expand our reach and impact.
Key Responsibilities:
· Meet with our project lead to establish our needs, set realistic timeframes, and design an effective SEO approach for us
· Ensure effective traffic is directed to our new site, including managing connections to our old site where advisable
· Lead keyword optimisation as a result of our name and brand change
· Set up Google Analytics to help us gather robust, high-quality data from our new website
· Collaborate with our team, brand advisors, and existing IT support to ensure you have all the information and access you need
· Advise on Google Ad Grants services once SEO work has concluded - the role could extend if you're interested in developing this workstream
· Technical requirement: You'll need to be comfortable using Squarespace, as this is where our new website is hosted. We'll provide access and support.
Application Process:
To apply please upload your CV.

Thank you!
Inclusive Boards is delighted to support University of Birmingham Guild of Students in their search for their next Chair of Trustees.
The Guild of Students plays a key and pivotal role in the student experience at Birmingham, offering a range of services and activities which not only help to attract students to the University, but which also contribute to a vibrant student experience, as well as supporting the wider sense of community and belonging.
The breadth of the Guild’s service and activity portfolio is comparable with other large students’ unions in the Russell Group and as an organisation the Guild is well regarded within the sector. As leaders in the field, the Guild has paved the way in key areas such as representation, student groups and societies, social opportunities, events and activities.
About the Chair opportunity
This is a brilliant opportunity to join an award-winning, multifaceted, and complex charity as our next Chair of Trustees. The Trustee Board is collectively responsible for overseeing the affairs of the Guild and ensuring that the Guild works for and with its membership in all that it does. The Chair’s role is to steward this at the highest level. They act as a role model for the Board, maintaining the highest standards of good governance, with a focus on strategy, risk, and long-term sustainability.
They must ensure a culture of inclusion, trust, and openness where all Trustees contribute their views and expertise, and champion student democracy. The Chair will work closely with the President and Chief Executive Officer, supporting them to achieve the aims and objectives of the Guild’s strategy and vision, and ensure the Guild meets the needs of its diverse student membership.
We are in the final year of the Guild’s 2022-27 strategy (aligned to the University’s priorities under its strategic framework, ‘Birmingham 2030’), making this a formative time as we look beyond 2027, in a challenging time for the Higher Education sector. We are seeking skilled leadership to continue to support us to deliver excellence and are, therefore, looking for an experienced non-executive, with demonstrable experience of supporting organisations at Board level.
The Guild values applications from a wide range of backgrounds that are reflective of the full diversity of Birmingham’s community, in particular from Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnicities as we seek to continually enhance diversity within our governance structures.
We would encourage candidates with current or previous experience in charities or the public sector, with experience of chairing meetings and of non-executive leadership, to apply. A connection to the Guild or University and/or to the West Midlands area is also beneficial, but not essential. Full details are outlined in the role description and person specification.
