Contract: Initially fixed term for 2 years, with the possibility of permanency

Our ideal candidate is someone who can work collaboratively and independently as required.

You'll also need to be great at explaining your ideas - from the serious to the silly - and getting people involved. We're looking for someone with tons of creativity and the confidence to bring fresh ideas to the table.



You'll work closely with our Digital Engagement Manager and will have access to a training budget to help improve your skills.



Key responsibilities:


Managing the day-to-day running of our social media channels. Planning and creating social media content, with a focus on video, to support the Trust's objectives and communication strategies. Liaising with staff from across the Trust to understand the scope of our work and ensure that project communication requirements are fulfilled. Communicating effectively and consistently with staff and other key stakeholders to ensure engagement remains high and the impact of social media is clearly understood. Identifying opportunities to widen our reach and impact, from working with influencers to developing a Cumbria Wildlife Trust presence on new channels.

Completed applications should be emailed to admin@cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk, along with a cover letter to tell us why you'd be great at this role.
