Volunteer Marketing & Social Media Lead

Help shape and lead SPORT 4 SUCCESS’s marketing and social media.

We are looking for someone with experience in marketing, social media, communications, branding, content strategy or a related field. The most important requirement is the ability to develop a clear, practical marketing strategy and turn it into consistent activity. You should be comfortable taking ownership of the charity’s marketing direction while working collaboratively with trustees and other volunteers. Our ideal volunteer will have: Experience creating and implementing marketing or social media strategies A strong understanding of social media platforms, audiences and content formats The ability to create engaging written and visual content, or provide clear creative direction to others Strong written communication and storytelling skills The confidence to introduce new ideas and advise a small charity on its marketing priorities Experience in the charity, education, youth or sports sectors would be useful, but it is not required. Experience supporting a growing organisation, working with volunteers or developing a brand would also be valuable. You should be creative, reliable and comfortable working within a small team. We are looking for someone who will listen to different perspectives but can also make clear recommendations and lead the marketing approach. You do not need to produce every piece of content yourself. Other volunteers and team members can support delivery. However, you should be able to set the direction, establish suitable processes and provide constructive guidance. An interest in helping young people develop their skills and future opportunities through sport and education would be a strong fit with our work.
Strong marketing will help SPORT 4 SUCCESS reach more young people, schools, delivery partners, funders and volunteers. At present, much of our impact happens through our programmes, events and direct relationships, but we do not communicate that impact consistently. This limits our ability to build awareness, attract support and show the value of our work. Your work would help us create a clearer identity, communicate our purpose more effectively and build a consistent presence across our social media and wider marketing channels. A stronger strategy would help us: Reach more schools and youth organisations Attract volunteers with the skills needed to grow the charity Build relationships with sports organisations and corporate partners Support fundraising and sponsorship activity Promote programmes and events Share evidence of our impact Give young people and schools a stronger voice in our communications The role will also help us move away from ad hoc marketing and towards a structured approach that the wider team can follow. As a small charity, this role would have direct influence. The volunteer’s ideas and recommendations would shape how SPORT 4 SUCCESS presents itself, communicates its work and grows over the next stage of its development. The result will be a stronger platform for helping more young people build skills, confidence and future opportunities through sport and education.
