The difference you will make to cats and people

Our social media volunteers use their passion and knowledge of social media to promote the activities of local volunteer teams though various channels. They directly help cats by raising awareness of Cats Protection.

  • Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
  • Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
  • Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
  • Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities

You'll be:

  • Promoting the work of Cats Protection through various social media channels, for example, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter
  • Gathering information from across the organisation and locally within your team or volunteer group
  • Writing and creating social media content, ensuring it complies with policies and guidelines
  • Scheduling and posting social media content
