Volunteer Social Media Support

Overview

We are a free and confidential drug and alcohol service for adults, young adults, families, carers and affected others across the Wirral. We provide a non-judgemental service, with qualified, experienced staff and volunteers who offer support in health & wellbeing and substance misuse. We can talk to you in several supportive environments, all which have a friendly atmosphere, and provide you with information to help you reduce your substance misuse or to become abstinent. 

We are part of Change Grow Live, a national health and social care charity which provides a range of treatment, recovery, and support services for those who have concerns about their drug or alcohol use. 

 

Volunteers make an enormous contribution to our work at Change Grow Live.

 

Last year over 1400 volunteers donated over a quarter of million hours of their time to our organisation.

 

Would you like to join our growing team of volunteers, and make a real difference?

Responsibilities

At Wirral Ways we believe social media platforms are a great way to connect with those who use our services and engage with new young people or family members. We also use social media to offer advice and give information, whilst promoting the services and support we have on offer.  

As a social media support volunteer, you will play an instrumental role in supporting the team to maintain our social media presence. This will include promoting local initiatives, providing harm reduction advice, and updating people of any service changes. You will also play a key role in the development and growth of our social media presence. This could include exploring additional platforms and being creative and innovative with how we deliver our content. 

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to gain experience while supporting a local service to grow and maintain its social media platforms and presence. You will be supported by the Comms and Marketing Lead and given training around our service to support you in your role. You can really make a difference by helping us to engage with people right across the Wirral.
