TREES FOR STREETS

Trees for Streets - the National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme – is now looking to expand its team after a successful launch year.

The progressive urban tree charity, Trees for Cities, launched this exciting tech-for-good initiative in 2021, in collaboration with local innovator, Start with Local. It is supported by the Mayor of London and funded by City Bridge Trust and the government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund.

Now our team is growing and we’re looking for a talented Social Media & Marketing Coordinator to help take this successful project to the next level. This is a great opportunity for people wanting to work in the environmental charity space on a tech-for-good project. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a freelance creative role that requires strong copywriting and editing skills. You’ll be using a blend of digital and traditional channels to reach both local audiences in the neighbourhoods where we are working, and a wider national audience to raise awareness of our scheme.

Your role is to support the Marketing and Communications Manager in promoting the scheme to the scheme to councils, sponsors, residents, community groups, funders and businesses via a range of channels.

This role has a strong focus on social media channel management, but your workload will include a variety of content creation and editing, in addition to keeping our feeds fresh and engaging. You will also have the opportunity to feed into our strategy and play a big part in developing this as the scheme grows.

We’re looking for someone who technically understands social media, both earned and paid, and who understands how to use content to communicate with an audience. We’re particularly keen to work with someone who understands how to make social media work at a hyperlocal level.

Being a small, remote-working team, we need someone who thrives in a highly collaborative environment. If you’re a motivated, creative social media specialist who has excellent copywriting skills and thrives with a varied workload, we’d love to hear from you!
