Our creative and communications team exists to bring to life the incredible work our partners do around the world to alleviate poverty and injustice.

 

The role

The Social Media Coordinator role is part of Tearfund’s Creative & Communications Team.  We’re a team of deeply passionate designers, videographers, writers, storytellers, and marketing strategists responsible for creating inspiring content to engage Kiwis with issues of injustice and poverty around the globe.

·       Digital media skills, journalism skills, photography or videography experience, basic experience with creative tools like Figma/Capcut would all be desirable (but not essential) skills to bring to this role.
