There are TWO opportunities to volunteer with the team.
One-off volunteering with the team; you can sign up through MyCareers and you'll be emailed whenever an opportunity to help out is available for example, helping on an event or welcome stand.
The Sustainability Communications Mentorship;
This year-long (term-time) volunteer role offers CV and career development support in exchange for creating sustainability-related social media content.
In this role, you’ll manage developing ideas, scriptwriting, filming, and editing content for the @sustainablelse social media page.
What is the time commitment?
You'll meet with the Sustainability Engagement Officer, Bea, once a month and create two videos per month for the Instagram page.
Who should apply?
This role is great for a student looking to get into the sustainability sector when they graduate, so is not suitable for first years.
It's essential for you to be comfortable infront of the camera, and be passionate/knowledgable on sustainability topics. You should also be confident with video editing (Capcut, Edits etc) and social media.
What are the benefits?
Sustainability Engagement Manager, Bea, can check your CV, help with cover letters and give advice for interviews or job applications. She can also provide a reference if you volunteer for the whole year. If you're looking to get into comms, you can build a portfolio with real-world content creation examples.
How to apply:
This role is now closed but we will be recuriting next year too!
