Social Media and Digital Communications Officer

You will:

• Develop social media strategies that maximise engagement and support for the FBU, its aims and campaigns
• Shoot, script and edit videos; edit audio; and design infographics and other relevant digital content 
• Run a reactive/trends-driven social media operation aligned with the objectives of the FBU

The FBU already has a small, effective communications team covering campaigns, press and external communications. If you have these skills, great. 

But what we are really looking for is someone with the passion, political/labour movement experience, and technical skills to take our social media, video and digital content to the next level. 

You’ll collaborate with other teams and union activists to bring projects to life, and you’ll have great storytelling skills. You’ll also be willing and able to travel and attend events frequently. 

If you love social media and have strong creative skills, this might be the job for you. This is a new role, so proven experience in the social media landscape is essential.  

If you want to make a difference, if you are committed to advancing trade union activism, engagement and awareness, and if you are aligned to the aims and objectives of the FBU, we are interested in hearing from you.

We are willing to consider flexible working arrangements, including job share.

Benefits include:

• Generous annual leave  
• Additional Christmas office closure period
• Final salary pension scheme 
• Employee assistance programme 
• Season ticket loan
• Annual Christmas bonus 
• Eyecare claim back scheme
• Childcare assistance scheme
• Flexible working arrangements.
