Are you passionate about creating content? Are you keen to make a difference and contribute to the impact BCWA makes? We’re looking for creative and collaborative volunteers to bring content ideas to life and prepare materials for events, helping BCWA engage with local communities and organisations. If you are enthusiastic about trends, are looking for opportunities to curate ideas with diverse teams and are a strong communicator who wants to help survivors, we’d love to have you on board as a Social Media Volunteer! Social Media Volunteers volunteer alongside our Communications Officer, creating content that ensures information about the services Black Country Women’s Aid provide is widely available across communities. They help people connect with us online and learn more about how we help survivors cope and recover, alongside creating content and materials that educate people on challenging abuse and violence. Social Media Volunteers help BCWA further engage with the community and other sector partners. They collaborate with BCWA Service Managers and different teams to build content that effectively promotes services, events or fundraising drives. They think creatively, contributing their own ideas for content and bringing these to life. Being a Social Media Volunteer might look like: • Collaborating with BCWA staff to create content for BCWA communications • Preparing materials for events, like leaflets and posters and keeping these organised • Researching community groups, local organisations and other agencies for engagement • Liaising with the Communications Officer to bring new content ideas to life • Engaging with BCWA teams to promote events or fundraising drives • Being an advocate for BCWA! Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies. The post holder must be female. We ask all volunteers to confirm they have a Right to Volunteer in the UK. References If offered a volunteer role, we will seek 2 references. Ideally, one of these should be your current or last employer, however we understand this isn’t always possible. We ask that one of your referees has known you at least a year. Examples of references could include: • a professional from your centre of study, for instance a teacher, lecturer or headteacher • GP or health visitor • a character reference from a person who knows you (no familial relations or partners) • a civil servant from a government agency • a bank manager
