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.
