What You'll Do: 

Role responsibilities: 

  • Plan, create and post regular content on our social platforms, with the aim to develop a brand presence, raise awareness of our organisation and encourage engagement. 
    • We currently have active social media accounts on the following platforms: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
    • At present, we aim to have a mix of informative posts, promotional posts and those relating to current events, although this can vary depending on the platform. We encourage creativity and innovative ideas, so are happy for you to come up with other avenues for content, too.
  • Work with our partner organisations, such as our current charity beneficiary the Literacy Hubs, where necessary to coordinate online campaigns.
  • Work with HR to coordinate recruitment drives for new tutors, and marketing campaigns for new pupil signups. 
  • Assist with maintaining and updating our website (www.learningbyheart.info), which is hosted on Wix. 
  • Liaise with other LBH team members to produce content when necessary, such as promotional materials for tutor recruitment or event promotion.
  • Run online engagement campaigns and analyse the organisation’s outreach/engagement.
Why You'll Love It: 
Learning By Heart is an initiative with 2 principal goals: to provide children and adults in the UK with accessible educational support, while in turn helping to widen access to education for young people across the world. ​   We provide online classes in a wide range of subjects, run by volunteer tutors, in exchange for pay-as-you-feel donations to educational charities. Classes are delivered remotely using videoconferencing platforms, so we are able to reach pupils all over the country. Currently, our profits support The Literacy Hubs, who work with local councils, communities and schools to create learning programs to meet their specific literacy needs. They do this by setting up individually designed hubs to best support the community it serves.   Learning By Heart is currently run by a management team of 11 volunteers. However, as the organisation grows and the responsibilities increase, we are looking to expand the team. We are looking for a new enthusiastic and reliable Social Media Volunteer to support the expansion and development of the Learning By Heart team, building and maintaining a skilled and supportive network of volunteers, through social media.
