Do you know your FYP from your CTR?
Can you build and manage a subreddit without summoning the mods?
And when we say “Shorts”, do you think watch time, hooks & retention - not what you’re packing for your next holiday?
Locate International are looking to expand our Media Team on a completely voluntary basis, with an average time commitment of around six hours per week.
Founded in 2019, we assist families in locating loved ones from unsolved missing persons cases and in identifying unknown deceased individuals.
By recruiting three volunteers - each specialising in TikTok, YouTube or Reddit - we can spread more breadcrumbs & ensure every case we take on has the best possible chance of being solved.
Our Media Team is a close-knit group of volunteers who meet via Zoom every Tuesday evening at 7pm (for one hour). Attendance at these meetings is important so we can support our Investigation Teams, plan appeals, and create a clear plan of action for the weeks ahead. We appreciate that availability can vary, but we ask that you attend as many sessions as possible to stay connected with the team and cases.
You will champion your platform - posting, monitoring engagement, and coming up with fresh ideas to help raise awareness of our cases. Sometimes this will be broad-reach content; other times it will involve niching down to target specific audiences who may hold vital missing pieces of the puzzle.
Everyone who volunteers with Locate International shares the belief that everybody deserves a name, and no family should endure the uncertainty of a missing loved one.
What we’re looking for:
TikTok Content Creator
Someone who understands trends, who can hook viewers in the first few seconds and encourage comments and sharing. You must be confident editing content directly within TikTok.
YouTube Content Creator
Someone who can create engaging, informative videos that encourage interaction. You should be confident with professional video editing, understand branding, and know how to craft compelling titles and optimise tags. Viral potential is a big plus.
Reddit Content Creator
A significant percentage of our website traffic comes from Reddit, yet we don’t currently have an official presence there. If you understand Reddit etiquette, the do’s and don’ts, and what’s involved in creating and managing subreddits - we need you.
What’s in it for you:
- Being part of a large, supportive team of dedicated volunteers.
- Working within a creative, passionate Media Team that encourages thinking outside the box.
- A regular one-hour Zoom meeting on Tuesday evenings, joining the team as often as possible to collaborate on live cases.
- The satisfaction of using your skills to make a meaningful difference to families & communities worldwide.
If you feel you have what it takes to be one of the volunteers we're looking for, please get in touch with your experience, expertise, and what you can bring to the Media Team.

The role in a nutshell:
Age UK Cheshire's Sharing Time Reconnect Befriending service strives to reduce loneliness and isolation by matching our volunteers with older people via a meaningful befriending relationship.
Please note: You must be located within Cheshire to apply for this volunteering role.
What will you be doing?
You will be calling a lonely older person for a chat with the aim of developing a long term, meaningful befriending relationship which is positive for both parties. You will not only prevent an older person from feeling lonely and isolated, you will also hear amazing stories and share meaningful moments.
How would you be supported in this role?
Our volunteers receive an initial induction into the work and policies of our charity and then specific training on befriending and safeguarding. You will be part of a caring and experienced team and have the support of a dedicated service coordinator.
Why do we need volunteers in this role?
Loneliness among older people is a growing crisis. By volunteering with Age UK Cheshire’s Sharing Time project, you will offer more than a regular telephone call – you will offer a lifeline to older people in your community.
Befriending phone calls usually last around 30 minutes. They are typically weekly but can be flexible depending on the individual you are supporting and their circumstances. They continue indefinitely or until one party’s circumstances change.
What skills, interests or experience might be helpful in this role?
- A good listener, patient, friendly and can show empathy.
- Active listening skills with the ability to motivate others.
- Awareness of acting in a way that respects equality, diversity, and inclusion.
- Willingness to follow guidance to keep yourself and others safe.
- The desire to ensure your befriendee receives an enjoyable, stimulating, person-centred and empowering experience!
