About the Role

We’re looking for someone to help us grow our digital voice – whether you’re an experienced content creator looking for a flexible, purpose-driven role or a curious, motivated emerging creative keen to learn on the job.

This part-time role is designed to adapt to the right person.

This role can flex depending on your experience and availability:

●A skilled digital communicator with a strategic eye and limited availability (8–10 hrs/week)

●A curious, motivated emerging creative with the time and energy to develop your skills in a supportive environment (12–15 hrs/week)

We’re looking for the right person and will shape the role around your experience. Wherever you are in your career, you’ll help bring the Inland Waterways Association’s stories to life online, showcasing the power of community action, restoration, and environmental impact across the UK’s waterways.

You’ll be supported by our campaigns director and a part-time Brand/Social Strategist, and contribute to high-quality, mission-aligned content.

Key Responsibilities

●Create and schedule engaging content across Instagram, Facebook, BlueSky, TikTok and LinkedIn. All content is primarily organic.

●Design visuals using tools such as Canva (or similar) and write clear, on-brand copy

●Align content with IWA’s three storytelling pillars: advocacy & protection, restoration & regeneration, and environmental impact

●Source and repurpose volunteer-submitted content (e.g. photos, quotes, stories)

●Support user-generated content initiatives (e.g. takeovers, calendar campaigns)

●Monitor and respond to comments/messages, with support from the team

●Ensure posts follow digital accessibility best practices

●Track engagement metrics and contribute insights during monthly content planning

●Collaborate on evolving IWA’s storytelling and visual style

What You’ll Bring

We expect you to bring some of the following – and we’ll shape the role around your strengths:

If you’re more experienced, you might bring:

●A strong portfolio of digital storytelling and content creation

●Experience managing branded channels or building communities

●Confidence making decisions about tone, visuals and prioritisation

If you’re earlier in your career, we’ll look for:

●Creativity and a clear interest in storytelling for good

●Good writing and design instincts (Canva or similar tools)

●A willingness to learn, take feedback, and grow in the role

And in both cases:

●A proactive, dependable approach

●An interest in environmental, heritage, or place-based campaigns

What You’ll Get

●A part-time role with flexibility around hours and creative scope

●Real-world experience building digital engagement for a national charity

●Support and mentorship from experienced comms professionals

●The chance to help shape the voice of a values-led, people-powered organisation

●A growing portfolio of content and impact stories to be proud of

To Apply

Please send your CV to [emailprotected] and anything from a paragraph to one page telling us:

●Why this role appeals to you

●A social media account, post or campaign you admire, and why

●Optionally, include examples of your work

At IWA, we value experience, curiosity, and creative thinking. If you don’t meet every requirement but feel this role is a great fit, we’d love to hear from you. We’re more interested in finding a person who can develop, rather than ticking every box.
