Are you a brilliant story teller? We’re looking for two communications and marketing volunteers to help engage our supporters by creating compelling content so we can support more people affected by a pain condition.

You will join the charity during a challenging period and your expert knowledge will be invaluable to our success. You will have a key role in ensuring we can maintain our support services and become a sustainable charity that can fulfil its aims.

Our charity delivers a range of awareness campaigns and support services to patients, their families and carers affected by the poorly understood chronic condition Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

We would like the volunteers to help with:

• Copywriting/content writing – create well‑written and compelling copy for our website, leaflets, one‑page/fact sheets, fundraising/promotional materials and our members’ magazine
• Case study writing and storytelling – help communicate our impact stories and case studies that we can use on our website, marketing materials or annual report
• Web copywriting – create engaging content for our website that adheres to our brand
• Communication materials review – review our existing communications materials, recommend edits to provide consistency in writing style and tone, accurate spelling and grammar, and a clear and engaging voice for our organisation
• Press releases and any content that could be used across different channels
• Brochure and annual review writing – assist with creating or updating copy that highlights our impact for current and potential stakeholders

As a small charity, you’ll work with a team of communication volunteers under a team leader who will provide an overview of our existing communication and marketing materials, content strategy, our brand and our approach to date.
