£23,016 - £26,040 per annum plus contributory pension

Manchester, UK

 

As the only UK aid and development charity to have shared the Nobel Peace Prize, Mines Advisory Group (MAG) is an energetic, inspiring and forward thinking organisation. Wars and conflicts erupt, subside and end. But they leave behind millions of landmines, unexploded bombs and unsecure arms. These pose an every-day danger for decades and disrupt the lives of communities for generations. At MAG, we believe that whenever and wherever wars happen, ordinary people should not be the ones who pay the price.

We are looking for an innovative and inspiring Digital Media Officer to join our team here at MAG. Our expanding funding, new programmes and exciting line up of fundraising events means we need another pair of hands to help share our stories - ideally someone with some amazing digital skills. You will help us to shape our social media footprint so we’d love you to be excited about the humanitarian work that we do. You will need to be able to quickly grasp complex and technical information so that you can create multi-media content for a variety of audiences; from de-miners working in the field in Angola to the general public. The contract is initially for 6 months, but with the strong possibility of extension.

To be our Digital Media Officer you’ll have bags of experience with Photoshop, InDesign and Final Cut Pro on Mac or PC and be passionate about social media with loads of experience of content management. It will be practically second nature to you, along with your copy-writing and editing skills. You will be passionate about the effect that digital platforms and technology are having on the ability to share stories, communicate and link people together all over the planet.

Above all, you will also recognise that effective communication can make a real difference to MAG’s success in saving lives and building futures.
