  • Audience Engagement: Help monitor social media platforms for engagement, responding to comments and messages in line with BPAS’ messaging and values.
  • Social Media Trends: Stay up-to-date with the latest trends in social media and digital content to propose innovative ideas for posts and campaigns.
  • Reporting & Analytics: When needed assist in tracking the performance of posts and social media campaigns, providing insights to improve engagement and reach.

  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact by supporting reproductive rights and access to healthcare.
What You'll Learn: 

As a Social Media Officer Volunteer at BPAS, you'll gain valuable hands-on experience in digital marketing and content creation within the charity sector. You'll develop skills in crafting engaging social media campaigns, using tools like Canva to create eye-catching visuals, and editing videos for platforms like TikTok. You'll also learn how to communicate a variety of topics, from promoting healthcare services and health education to advocating for policy changes and healthcare reform. Additionally, you'll gain experience analysing social media performance, adapting strategies, and raising awareness for important causes within reproductive rights.

  • Passion for BPAS' Mission: Enthusiasm for reproductive rights and BPAS values, with a desire to contribute to advocacy.
  • Self-Starter: Ability to work independently and take initiative on creative projects.
