We’d love to hear from you if think you could help us grow our on-line presence.

**When would you be needed and where would you be based?**

- Improve and develop your digital skills, useful in all aspects of your life
- Support and friendship in your local area and the wider SSAFA community
- Better physical and mental health -studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression

**What about training and support?**
- Support from our Digital Marketing team based at SSAFA Central Office.
- Training on our web platform
- Access to analytical tools and our digital marketing tool kit
- Induction covering all the aspects of SSAFAs services and the difference we can make to people’s lives.

**What are we looking for?**
- Friendly and approachable people, possibly with some experience of digital marketing/I.T or social media
- Ability to write in English to a good standard
- Ability to be respectful and non-judgemental with clients, supporters, volunteers, other agencies and staff
- Understanding of how social media can be used to engage and influence

**Safer Recruitment**: SSAFA undertakes a systematic approach and utmost care at every step of the process of volunteer recruitment, selection, and retention to ensure that those recruited are suitable and appropriate. Measures taken at points along this journey work together to make volunteering at SSAFA a positive and safe experience.
