This role is not simply about posting content. It is about shaping narrative, increasing prevention, strengthening partnerships and ensuring that women and girls encounter accurate, trauma-informed information in digital spaces.

Through a clear digital strategy and consistent messaging, the Social Media Lead strengthens Emerge Worldwide’s credibility and national voice. A strong online presence builds trust with survivors, professionals, schools, corporates and policymakers — opening doors for training, partnerships and funding that directly support prevention and empowerment initiatives.

Consistent, high-quality posting has preventative impact. Educational content about red flags, online grooming, coercive control and intersectional vulnerabilities can help young people recognise harmful behaviour earlier. Parents, carers and teachers may identify warning signs sooner. Increased awareness can interrupt exploitation before it escalates.

Collaboration with the Communications Department ensures language is trauma-informed and safeguarding-aware. Sensitive issues are handled ethically, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and creating a digital environment where survivors feel seen, respected and safe.

Cross-department collaboration ensures campaigns, policy work, education programmes and fundraising initiatives are amplified effectively. This leads to increased attendance at training, stronger campaign mobilisation, greater public engagement and enhanced funding — all of which contribute to tangible protection and support for vulnerable girls and young women.

By analysing performance data, the Social Media Lead helps Emerge Worldwide reach high-risk demographics more effectively. Data-informed decisions improve targeting, engagement and resource allocation, ensuring messaging reaches those most vulnerable.

In summary, the outcomes of this role contribute directly to early identification, public education, cultural awareness and increased access to prevention services. The Social Media Lead helps transform awareness into action — strengthening Emerge Worldwide’s impact in advocating for women and girls against grooming, sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

About Us

We’re WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.

Whether they’re taking a new visitor under their wing, or conducting ground-breaking research further afield, our team are second to none. And there’s nothing we love more than watching them soar.

Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?

Why you’ll love volunteering at WWT

• Feel good knowing you are helping to restore wetlands, and our world
• Be surrounded and inspired by like-minded wetland lovers
• Hear from the people who inject their energy, passion and expertise into wetlands and wildlife – talks, walks, webinars, tea and cake…
• Free entry to all our wetland centres, including your family
• Volunteer discount on shopping and memberships

Men’s Self‑Improvement Programme Volunteers

Help Build the Frontline of a New Movement for Men

At MINDSET, we’re not here to tweak the system — we’re here to rebuild it. Men across England and Wales are stuck between long waiting lists, clinical models that don’t fit, and a culture that tells them to “man up”. We’re changing that.

We’re launching a brand-new Men’s Self‑Improvement Programme, and we’re looking for committed volunteers to help shape, deliver, and grow the work that will transform men’s lives.

The Mission

1. Build the Blueprint

Help design and develop practical, high‑impact sessions focused on mental fitness, personal growth, and real‑world self‑improvement.

2. Lead the Frontline

Support and deliver our direct work with men — creating spaces that are positive, structured, and genuinely useful.

3. Shift the Culture

Help us challenge outdated narratives about men’s wellbeing and spark a national conversation about growth, strength, and self‑leadership.

4. Evolve the Model

Gather real feedback, test ideas, and help us refine the programme so it always meets men where they are.

The Vibe

We’re informal, direct, and relentlessly positive. No jargon. No judgement. No fluff.

You’ll have:

• Freedom to create

• Space to lead

• A real role in shaping a national movement from day one

This is hands-on, meaningful, legacy-building work.

Sound like you?

If you’re passionate about men’s personal development, confident working with people, and excited by the idea of building something from scratch, we’d love to have you on the team.

Join the MINDSET Mission

Help us build the future of men’s self‑improvement.

Are you someone who listens well, offers steady support, and cares deeply about Justice and Dignity within the Church?

What We Offer:

• Training and ongoing supervision
• Support from the DARS Coordinator and Connexional Team
• A flexible time commitment, typically a few hours per month
