Job description

What you’ll be doing

Creating and editing content for online platforms is at the heart of this role, using content design principles, accessibility standards, and web best practice guidelines. A strong understanding of different communications channels and what makes content engaging is essential, enabling the development of high-quality digital outputs that effectively connect with users and promote the work of committees.

The role also includes sourcing and producing audio-visual content, such as photography, graphics, and basic video, as well as commissioning more in-depth video projects when required. This ensures a varied and professional digital presence that reflects the importance and impact of committee work.

Alongside content creation, there is a strong emphasis on collaboration and support. The role involves advising committee staff on content design and accessibility, and helping them build confidence in using digital tools, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and high standards across the organisation.
