Coram is the first and longest serving children’s charity in the UK. Established as the Foundling Hospital in 1739, today we are a vibrant charity group of specialist organisations supporting hundreds of thousands of children, young people and families every year.
We do this by championing children's rights and wellbeing and making their lives better every day through our range of services. These include reading support and life skills education in schools for 300,000 children, adoption services for children waiting to find a home, mental health support, cultural programmes, and legal advice and advocacy for thousands of children and families every year.
All of our work delivers across seven key outcomes for children and young people: A fair chance, A loving home, A voice that’s heard, A chance to shine, Skills for the future, No matter where and A society that cares.
The role sits within Coram’s Communications and Marketing team, which manages branding, communications and marketing across the Coram Group, supporting primarily the Social Media Manager.
About the role
We’re looking for a creative, organised and adaptable Content Coordinator to help the central marketing and communications team promote and align content across the Coram Group. You’ll be self-motivated, knowledgeable about social media content and have a strong commitment to diversity and inclusivity.
Duties involve predominantly social media content creation (using Canva and in-app tools such as Instagram Reels and TikTok), programming via Hootsuite, as well as the occasional creation of brand assets and marketing materials in Canva. You’ll also have experience, or a keen interest in video editing. There will be opportunity to contribute creatively to Coram’s campaigns and further your digital marketing knowledge, too.
About you
Strong written communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to create attractive and engaging content are all required skills for the role. Ideally you will have experience or a keen interest in current affairs, political issues and the charity sector, too.
