We are recruiting a social media officer

We are looking for a friendly social media officer to join the committee. 

This is an unpaid, voluntary position inline with the other committee positions.

The role is primarily to manage the club’s social media channels which currently include: 

• Instagram 

• Twitter 

• Public facing Facebook pages (which includes members and potential members) and (where necessary) 

• Updates to the website 

The role involves creating fun and exciting content to help raise awareness of the club, all our training offers, our participation at events and our success stories.  

You will champion and raise awareness of our whole range of running options and successes from promoting our new Couch to 5k programme and celebrating our graduates to shouting about new club records being broken. 

The role involves: 

• liaising with the Comms Coordinator and the wider committee to ensure we publicise a range of topics including reminders and drumming up business for our ‘business as usual’ Tuesday club nights, Sunday runs and other training events  

• Promoting upcoming club socials and local/ popular races  

• Celebrating success stories when our members or teams take part in events  

• Gathering or creating content to raise awareness of our run leaders or new committee members 

• Posting photos or videos from events (either taken yourself or sourced from other members at events) 

• Interacting with content from existing members (e.g. liking and sharing race updates or training runs which tag the club on Insta or which are added to the FB group) 

• Responding to messages from potential members asking about the club 

• Help develop the club’s comms strategy with the comms secretary 

• Provide support in any other social media/comms as seen fit by the committee. 

Optional: 

• Maintaining links on social media with other running clubs and organisations in the North-West (i.e. ensure we're following anyone of note, make committee aware of anything interest/publicise anything interesting) 

• Keep an eye on social media best practice among similar clubs and sporting organisations (i.e. be generally aware of any good ideas, follow those who put out good content) 

• Exploring new design styles for the club's social media output (i.e. manage that call for interest we put out for a designer) 

The role is a full committee position, and the post holder will need agree to and follow the committee code of conduct (see bottom of page). The committee will consider applications for job share, or variations of responsibilities. 

Closing Date: Sunday 10th November 2024
