Digital Engagement Volunteer
We are looking for a creative, social media–skilled volunteer to help us develop our online presence! Age UK Redbridge, Barking & Havering is full of amazing stories, events, and community impact—and we need your help to bring it all to life on platforms like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
If you’ve got a flair for fun, friendly content and know your way around social media scheduling and engagement, we’d love your help developing our social media presence. Whether it's creating eye-catching posts, suggesting hashtags or scheduling posts in advance, your input could make a huge difference.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Creating engaging, accessible content for Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn
Helping plan and schedule posts in advance
Suggesting relevant hashtags and content ideas
Supporting promotion of events, services and campaigns
Helping increase engagement through likes, shares and comments
Ensuring content reflects Age UK’s friendly, supportive and inclusive tone
What We’re Looking For:
- Confidence using social media platforms (especially Facebook and Instagram)
- A creative eye for simple graphics, photos or short captions
- An understanding of how to engage different audiences online
- Reliability and good communication skills
- A friendly, positive approach and interest in community-focused work
You don’t need professional marketing experience—just enthusiasm, creativity, and social media know-how.
What Success Looks Like:
Success for us is seeing more engagement—likes, shares, and smiles. Mainly reaching older people, or those with older people in their lives who might need us, and inspiring more support from our community.
What You’ll Gain:
- A chance to make a real difference in your local community
- Valuable experience in social media and communications
- Flexibility to volunteer around your schedule
- The satisfaction of helping a charity stay connected, visible and vibrant
Your time and creativity will help Age UK Redbridge, Barking & Havering reach the people who need us most—making a real impact in just a few hours a week.
