Newsletter Team Volunteer - Volunteer

Volunteer Newsletter Coordinator

We seek a volunteer with at least three years experience in e-communications, ideally including putting together a simple weekly e-newsletter. All items for inclusion in the newsletter will be provided but they need to be checked and put in good order.

What difference will you make? We want to increase and improve our communications with our members who are all job seekers. We want to utilise modern marketing techniques, in particular our newsletter, to expand our visibility, relevance and impact in order to attract more job seekers to our weekly virtual Zoom meetings.

Unemployment can be isolating. It can damage confidence and self‑esteem, impacting not only the financial but emotional stability of those involved. We have the capacity to support more people through our services. You would enable us to do that by increasing awareness through the items which will be given to you for inclusion in the weekly newsletter. The success of your marketing efforts will be visible weekly as more job seekers join us and benefit from our services.

The newsletter volunteer will have the capacity to plan and work alone but with full guidance, subject items and recommendations from some of the trustees and volunteers who manage the charity. Work will be from home, approx 2‑3 hours per week, on a rota basis with others in the newsletter team. The weekly newsletter will be prepared and compiled each week for circulation by email each Friday and again, as a reminder to our members, the following Monday morning.

• Plan, compile and produce the weekly e‑newsletter.
• Check and organise provided items for inclusion.
• Ensure promptness, timeliness and error‑free production of the newsletter.
• Enhance the newsletter layout and display using design skills when opportunities arise.

• At least 3 years of experience in email communications and e‑newsletter production.
• IT/email ability; design skills an advantage.
• Living in the UK.
• High standard of spoken and written English.

Approximately 2‑3 hours per week, working from home.
