About Coram
Coram is the first and longest serving children’s charity in the UK. Established as the Foundling Hospital in 1739, today we are a vibrant charity group of specialist organisations – the Coram Group – supporting hundreds of thousands of children, young people and families every year.
We do this by championing children's rights and wellbeing and making their lives better every day through our range of services. These include reading support and life skills education in schools for 300,000 children, adoption services for children waiting to find a home, mental health support, cultural programmes, and legal advice and advocacy for thousands of children and families every year.
The Social Media Officer role sits within Coram’s Communications and Marketing team, which manages branding, communications and marketing across the Coram Group.
The role will lead on managing and developing Coram’s main social media channels and supporting colleagues across the Coram Group with their channels. You’ll be responsible for creating and delivering compelling content for Coram’s campaigns, responding in a timely way to relevant conversations online and reporting on social media performance.
We’re looking for a creative, proactive and organised social media professional who can help grow our reach and engagement across social media. You’ll need to manage projects with competing deadlines, work on your own initiative and collaborate effectively with colleagues.
Strong written communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to create engaging content are all required skills for the role. Ideally you will have experience or a keen interest in current affairs, political issues and the charity sector, too.
