As the Social Media Officer, you will manage the day to day running of the University of Gloucestershire’s social media platforms, and play a key role in delivering against an ambitious new social media strategy that puts authentic content development and the student voice at its very heart. Our social media and online storytelling go hand in hand with our commitment to sustainability and doing things differently. We’re the first University we know of to ditch our printed prospectus and replace it with Instagram Stories and an interactive digital prospectus. It’s an exciting time to join our team. Reporting to the Social Media Manager, you’ll be passionate about growing our social media communities and reaching new audiences. You will commission and develop compelling student-led social media and multi-media content to support both student recruitment and brand building for the University. You’ll have the chance to flex your creativity, as well as get stuck into the technical aspects of campaign management, content planning and reporting. In this role, you will champion social media and be a passionate advocate for all that it can do for our university community, providing insight and consultation to colleagues running their own accounts around the University, and making recommendations on how to improve and innovate. If you have experience of managing multiple social media channels for a large organisation, and have a track record in delivering great online content, we’d love to hear from you.
