at Project Trust

🏢 About Project Trust

Project Trust is unique as a pioneering education charity with over 50 years of experience in international volunteering, specifically for young people aged 17-25. Working here means contributing to meaningful global citizenship development through immersive teaching and youth development projects across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. You'd be part of an organization that transforms young volunteers' lives while making tangible impacts in communities worldwide.

About This Role

As Digital Marketing Assistant at Project Trust, you'll support daily digital content delivery across social media, website, and online platforms, focusing on storytelling about volunteers and program impacts. This role directly contributes to fundraising campaigns and digital engagement strategy while occasionally working directly with young people during organizational activities. Your work will amplify real stories of global citizenship and volunteer transformation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve coordinating with volunteers to collect stories and photos from international placements, then creating social media content that highlights their experiences. You could be scheduling website updates about program impacts, supporting a fundraising campaign's digital components, and participating in team meetings about engagement strategy—all from your home office, with occasional UK travel for volunteer events.
