A bit about the role

Working in Social Media, you’ll be plugged in on all the news and updates from Scouts. You’ll have opportunity to be involved in developing our social media content to best connect with the Movement and demonstrate the impact and value of Scouting to external audiences. 

This role is perfect for you if you live and breathe social media. You struggle to tear yourself away from Instagram or TikTok. You know which trends and stories to use that will resonate with audiences. You know when to respond to comments, or when to let the debate flow. You’re passionate about the power of content to influence behaviours and shape perception.
