Social Media Coordinator - Volunteer

Help an international charity stay consistent on social media by scheduling content and supporting growth across platforms. Play a key role in increasing visibility for environmental and community projects in Kenya. This role will bring consistency and structure to our social media, which is essential for growth. By ensuring content is scheduled and shared consistently, you will help increase engagement, grow our audience and improve visibility across all platforms. This directly supports our ability to raise funds, attract partners and expand our work in Kenya. Your contribution will help ensure that important stories and updates do not get lost, but instead reach the people who can support and amplify them. Ultimately, this role strengthens the connection between our work on the ground and our global audience.

What are we looking for?

• Reliable and organised volunteer with at least 3 years’ experience in social media management, digital coordination, or administrative/project support roles (including voluntary or informal experience).
• Comfortable using social media platforms and understand how content is published and managed.
• Experience organising tasks, schedules or workflows.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to maintain consistency over time.
• Able to work independently and communicate clearly.
• Experience scheduling or publishing content using tools such as Buffer, Hootsuite or similar.
• Managing regular processes or routines (e.g. content calendars, admin workflows, coordination tasks).
• Supporting digital activity in a structured and reliable way.

It would also be helpful (but not essential) if you:

• Have a basic understanding of social media performance (e.g. engagement, reach).
• Have supported a team, project or organisation in a coordination capacity.
• Have an interest in environmental or international development work.

This role is less about creative content and more about ensuring consistency and reliability. We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, including those with experience gained through volunteering or personal projects. Remote.

What will you be doing?

We are looking for an organised volunteer to help coordinate and schedule our social media activity, ensuring consistency across our platforms. This role focuses on structure and reliability rather than content creation. You will support the publishing process by working with content provided by our team or a Content Creator volunteer. Key tasks include:

• Scheduling posts across platforms using tools such as Buffer.
• Maintaining a simple weekly content schedule.
• Ensuring posts are spaced out and published consistently.
• Making small adjustments for different platforms where needed.
• Monitoring basic engagement (likes, comments, shares).
• Suggesting simple improvements based on what performs well.

We use Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mastodon and Bluesky. We are particularly keen to build steady, consistent activity on Mastodon and Bluesky. You will work closely with the CEO and may collaborate with a Content Creator volunteer. We aim to keep processes simple and flexible. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys organisation and wants to contribute without needing to create original content. Time commitment is approximately 2–4 hours per week, with flexibility on when the work is completed.
