What will you be doing?

Yoga Stops Traffick is an international campaign run by UK registered charity Adventure Ashram to raise awareness of and funds for survivors of human trafficking in India.

We need some creative marketing and social media experts to help lift this campaign back to its full potential.

Main responsibilities of the role:

• Bring your creative social media and marketing ideas to the team to help us think of new ways to increase awareness of Yoga Stops Traffick to yoga studios and teachers in the UK and worldwide, and help us develop plans to turn these ideas into well-executed action.

• Help us plan our social media activity to increase our reach, improve our engagement levels and ultimately drive the success of this campaign.

• If you are experienced using Wordpress and skilled at improving SEO that would be an added bonus - our website has terrible SEO and ranks badly and we no longer have the skills in-house to know the best way to improve our website. However, if this is not part of your skill-set but you can improve our general marketing and social media plans - we would still be grateful for your help!

• Provide other administrative support as needed (this could include website updates, creating marketing materials, sending campaign emails, responding to campaign-related enquiries)

What we offer in return:

• A supportive team to work alongside

• The knowledge you are making a real difference to a small charity that is struggling in the current climate 

• Invitation to Adventure Ashram / Yoga Stops Traffick events

Requirements of role:

• Ideally a commitment of approx. 6-12 hours per week

• Equipment you need: Laptop/PC, Internet Access

What are we looking for?

Experience in running social media campaigns and creating engaging content is essential for this role.

Excellent written communications is essential for this role.

Experience using WordPress and knowledge of SEO would be very useful - though not vital.

Experience building and developing corporate partnerships for fundraising purposes would be very helpful.

More than anything, we are looking for people who are passionate about making a difference! We would like you to commit to the role until the end of April 2026, with the possibility to extend beyond this.
