    Social media volunteer needed!

    We are currently looking for a volunteer to help us promote, develop and maintain our online presence in order to raise awareness of the AONB and the work of the AONB Partnership. This role is an exciting opportunity for someone with a good knowledge and interest in social media.

    Key tasks will include:

    • Using social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) to promote the activities and achievements of the AONB Partnership
    • Keeping our social media channels updated on a frequent basis
    • Ensuring that communication reaches a wide range of local stakeholders and diverse audience and makes valuable links with the local community

    Skills and competencies

    • An enthusiasm for the Arnside & Silverdale AONB and helping others get involved is important
    • Ability to work within the AONB’s guidelines and values
    • Ability to work as part of a team
    • Good communication skills
    • Photo editing skills
    • Honesty, integrity, commitment and reliability

    What are the benefits for you?

    • Helping to make a difference
    • Development of communication skills
    • Experience of working within a conservation organisation
    • Being part of a team of volunteers and meeting new people

    The role is likely to take 2 to 3 hours per week but is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.

    If this is something you think you’d like to get involved in, we’d love to hear from you. Simply complete our volunteer enquiry form. The AONB Communications & Funding Officer will then get in touch with you to discuss in more detail.

    Thank you for your support!
