We are looking for a Communications Officer who can strategically identify and post engaging content for our social media feeds and other communication channels, which will inspire people to support our work with refugees and asylum seekers in Epirus. You are the person who thinks "this would make a good post", while activities are taking place. More than that, your interest and belief in digital communications as a force for good should be backed with an interest in data and analytics, using them to influence our overall communication strategy.
Your role would include:
- Interacting with our digital communities to increase engagement, followers and the quality of user experience.
- Identifying key influencers and conversations that we should engage in to better showcase our work and expand our reach.
- Managing our other channels of communication, including newsletters, donor engagement, website and press service.
You should be able to:
- Manage communication channels in a professional capacity.
- Create and deliver communication strategies for specific programmes and campaigns.
- Produce regular data reports using Facebook Insights, LinkedIn Analytics, Google Analytics or similar tools, analysing data and adapt strategies accordingly.
- Keep up-to-date with the latest trends/developments in digital communications.
- Identify key influential external figures and agencies to further our reach and impact.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Experience working in a refugee context or with a vulnerable population.
- Experience working in an NGO, Charity or in the field of human rights.
What do we offer?
- A nurturing and collaborative working environment. We work hard to help our team members grow; investing in personal and professional development.
- Accommodation in a shared house
- Transportation to/from work
- After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, a small monthly expenses refund
In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
