About the role
We are looking for a skilled and proactive Communications Coordinator to take a leading role in how Feeding Gloucestershire communicates online. Working closely with our small and collaborative team, you will lead on the delivery and development of our digital channels. You will create high-quality written and visual content, manage and grow our social media presence, and ensure our digital platforms tell compelling stories that highlight community strengths, celebrate local action, and demonstrate the impact of our work. This role is ideal for someone who is creative, well organised, and confident in delivering digital communications. You will bring strong copywriting skills and the ability to translate complex issues into accessible and engaging content. You do not need to be an expert in food poverty, but alignment with our values and a passion for helping ensure people have access to good food is essential.
