Our Social Media Lead and team will attract interest from a wide range of job seekers on LinkedIn and Twitter and other social media. The Social Media Lead will lead a team to (1) organise PR such as local magazine articles, radio show opportunities etc, (2) schedule social media posts about our weekly webinars and coffee mornings, (3) post relevant content from other websites, (4) write occasional blogs, (5) share content to local groups etc.(6) set team tasks via Trello for the social media assistants to pick up e.g creating an infographic about our impact. Content that works on social media would be items related to Careers Springboard such as testimonials from people who have found jobs using Careers Springboard's services either in written or in short video format. Personal stories tend to do very well on social media as people can relate to this and it elicits emotion.
