About WakeUpGB
WakeUpGB is a new, independent UK not‑for‑profit movement built around one simple idea:
A country works better when people trust the system that runs it.
Right now, public trust in politics is at crisis levels — not because people don’t care, but because they feel shut out, misled, and ignored. We’re here to change that.
WakeUpGB is:
- A public movement focused on rebuilding trust in politics
- A policy project with 60 practical ideas to improve the UK
- A platform for fairness, transparency and accountability
- A call to action for people who believe things can be better
- A growing community of people tired of waiting for “someone else” to fix things
We’re not a party.
We’re not a campaign machine.
We’re a movement of ordinary people who believe the next generation deserves a country that hasn’t given up on itself.
One message captures why WakeUpGB exists:
“To my kids — I’m sorry I didn’t do more to stop what happened to this country. I thought someone else would. I thought it wouldn’t get this bad. I was wrong.”
We’re here so none of us ever have to say that again.
The Role
We’re looking for a Social Media Lead who can turn our mission into momentum. Someone creative, clear‑thinking and strategic — who knows how to make important issues accessible, engaging, and real.
This isn’t about posting for the sake of posting. It’s about:
- Educating the public
- Growing a movement
- Inspiring action
- Rebuilding trust
You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading WakeUpGB’s social media strategy across major platforms
- Creating bold, clear, shareable content
- Turning complex issues into simple, motivating messages
- Producing short‑form video and visual content
- Growing engagement and awareness of our 60 ideas
- Mobilising supporters and volunteers
- Using analytics to refine and strengthen our impact
Who You Are
You don’t need to be a political expert — you just need to communicate well and care about making things better.
You bring:
- Experience running or creating impactful social media content
- Strong writing and storytelling skills
- Confidence with short‑form video and visual formats
- The ability to simplify complex topics
- Creative energy and strategic thinking
- A belief in fairness, transparency and positive change
If you’ve ever felt that the UK deserves better — and that doing nothing isn’t an option — you’ll fit in here.
What We Offer
- Flexible remote work
- A chance to shape the online voice of a growing movement
- Creative freedom to experiment and try bold ideas
- A role with genuine social purpose and impact
How to Apply
Send the following t:
- Your CV
- A short note explaining why the role interests you and your ideas for promoting WakeUpGB
A Final Thought
Many of us at WakeUpGB started because of one feeling:
“I can’t keep waiting for someone else to fix this.”
If that resonates with you — whether you want to apply for the role or volunteer your time — this might be exactly where you’re meant to be.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
