Social Media Community Manager

Children Not Numbers is a medico-legal NGO dedicated to supporting the children of Gaza through medical evacuations, rehabilitation, advocacy, and education.

While the ceasefire has paused 15 months of devastation, the humanitarian crisis persists, and our work remains as critical as ever. Children still need urgent medical care, long-term rehabilitation, and a global community advocating for their rights.

We are seeking a freelance Social Media Community Manager to support our content creation, audience engagement, and campaign amplification. This contract is ideal for someone with at least one year of experience in social media management, looking for a flexible, project-based role in the humanitarian sector.

As an independent contractor, you will work in collaboration with the Founders and Fundraising Lead, who will provide strategic direction and messaging priorities. However, you will be responsible for managing your own workflow and delivery, ensuring high-quality, mission-driven social media content.

Working autonomously, you will liaise with key contacts within the organisation to deliver agreed work. You will have regular check-ins with:

Founders – for key messaging and organisational priorities.

Fundraising Lead – for campaign coordination and content alignment.

Volunteers and in-country colleagues in Gaza – for access to relevant updates and media.

External partners (e.g., photojournalists, influencers) – for sourcing visual content.

This contract requires someone who is proactive, creative, and highly organised, able to balance planned content with real-time updates as relevant events unfold.

Flexibility will be required to engage with stakeholders across different time zones and in response to unfolding events – some evening and weekend work.

Key Deliverables

• Develop and maintain a weekly content calendar for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok, in line with agreed priorities.
• Create and schedule engaging content, including written posts, graphics, and short-form videos that support fundraising and advocacy efforts.
• Monitor and manage community engagement, ensuring that responses are timely, appropriate, and aligned with Children Not Numbers’ messaging.
• Support the Fundraising Lead with campaign delivery, helping to amplify fundraising appeals, events, and advocacy initiatives.
• Track and report on key social media metrics, offering insights and small optimisations to improve reach and engagement.

Contractor Requirements

Essential

• At least 1 years’ experience in a social media management or content creation role.
• Experience using social media scheduling tools (e.g., Buffer, Hootsuite).
• Strong copywriting, storytelling, and content creation skills, with attention to detail.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks, delivering work to an agreed schedule.
• Passion for humanitarian issues, human rights, or international development.
• Ability to manage workload flexibly, including responding to key events and social media activity outside standard working hours when necessary.

Desirable

• Experience working in a NGO, charity or advocacy organisation.
• Familiarity with fundraising, digital marketing, or online campaigns.
• Experience running paid social media promotions.
• Fluency in Arabic (spoken and written) is an advantage but not essential.

This contract is outside IR35 regulations, meaning the contractor is responsible for managing their own tax, National Insurance contributions, and compliance with relevant tax laws.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis so please apply ASAP. We are working with Laura Macnamara at QuarterFive Recruitment for this appointment. Laura will contact applicants who meet the person specification via email to arrange a call.
