About VSO
VSO is the world’s leading independent international development organisation that works through volunteers to fight poverty in developing countries. Our high-impact approach brings people together to share skills, build capabilities, promote international understanding and action to change lives and make the world a fairer place.
Role overview
This role is dedicated to managing the content on the ICS website: (volunteerics.org). You will commission, edit and produce online content that will inform young people about the ICS programme and encourage them to apply.
We’re looking for a confident, experienced copywriter/editor who is able to turn around high-quality digital content quickly.
This role reports to the Marketing and Content Lead, who manages content for the whole of VSO and ICS’ digital presences. Together, you’ll co-ordinate digital content from the rest of the organisation and from different agencies that partner with ICS to ensure regular publication of new blog posts as well as update copy across the rest of the website.
You’ll work alongside a Social Media Officer, and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to identify new ways to build your audience through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other channels.
You’ll also work closely with the Recruitment Marketing team to provide digital support during major campaigns and times of significant recruitment activity.
You’ll have opportunities to expand and enhance your role, focusing on particular types of content, or taking on more responsibility for particular projects. There’s also opportunities for further training.
Skills, qualifications and experience needed
You’ll have experience of digital copywriting and editing, and be able to demonstrate this at an interview. Some knowledge of digital marketing – use of keywords, user journeys, basic web analytics knowledge – would also be useful.
If you’ve worked or volunteered abroad, that’s useful but not essential.
