Branch Publicity Coordinator

As publicity Coordinator you would work with your local SSAFA branch to develop a Publicity Plan. You would be central to delivering this local plan to raise awareness of SSAFA to potential clients, volunteers and funders.

• Friendly and approachable people with good communication skills
• Good communication skills and written English
• Confident to deal with the public, potential clients, volunteers, other agencies and SSAFA colleagues – face-to-face, by phone, email or via social media
• Ability to send and receive emails – you will receive your own SSAFA email address
• Reliable attitude
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and keep information safely
• Access to public transport or a car to get to meetings and events
• Ability to provide two referees: former employers or other people that know you well (other than relatives)

• Complete the volunteer application form below.
• Call our friendly central Volunteer Team on 0800 260 6775. They can answer any general questions about volunteering and put you in touch with your local branch

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community for more than 130 years. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan. We’d love the general public to understand what we do and how they can help us. We need to recruit volunteers that reflect our local communities and raise money to fund our work. We need you to help us get the SSAFA message out!

As part of your local branch you might have access to an office, but many volunteers are based at home. You would also be out and about at events and meetings.

This role would suit someone looking to give a regular time commitment to SSAFA although when and where would be flexible to suit you.

• Use your skills, knowledge and life experience to benefit others
• Support and friendship from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
• Experience, training and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews
• Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!

• Communication and Marketing workshops for Publicity Coordinators
• On-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
• Access to a range of e-learning courses.
• Volunteer Support Manager (per region)
• Access to the Marketing and Communication Teams based at our central office
• Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses

The information you provide will be used to create a personal record on our database if your application to become a SSAFA volunteer is successful. It will not be used for any other purpose or shared with any other organisation; all data collected from unsuccessful applicants will be destroyed as soon as it is no longer needed. SSAFA complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018.  Please read our privacy policy for more information.

We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, abilities, races, sexual orientations, socio-economic backgrounds, and of all faiths and none. SSAFA are committed to making reasonable adjustments to support disabled volunteers, so they have access to the same opportunities and experiences as non-disabled volunteers.
