This role is funded specifically for candidates who experience sight loss and are not in paid work - we are looking forward to receiving your application, if this applies to you .

Are you passionate about social media and looking to build your skills in a meaningful organisation?

RNIB is looking for a Social Media Assistant to support our online presence across a range of social media platforms for a short term placement.

We're looking for someone with strong communication skills, a good understanding of major social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn and X, and a keen eye for detail. You should be organised, creative, proactive and comfortable managing multiple tasks. Experience using Microsoft Office and social media scheduling tools such as Hootsuite, Buffer or Sprout would be beneficial.

Knowledge of digital accessibility, content creation tools such as Canva or CapCut, and social media analytics is desirable, but training will be provided.

We offer a wide range of benefits including 27 days of holiday per year (plus bank holidays) which rises with service, enhanced family friendly benefits, a contributory pension scheme with an employer contribution of up to 11% and a rewards platform with employee discounts across over 800 retailers.
