- Promoting the work of Shannon Trust, internally and externally, through a variety of communications platforms including print and digital media, video and radio
- Managing the day-to-day monitoring and development of our social media channels and website

- Delivering a great experience to our supporters, helping us recruit new supporters and retain existing ones
- Creating content that converts people to action
- This role is a great opportunity for someone who likes to take ownership of projects and campaigns, and wants to lead on important work they can be proud of. We welcome new approaches and ideas and want someone who will bring their full professional expertise to work.
This is a home-based role but may require occasional travel around the UK including overnight stays.
