About this job

Bringing together colleagues and, when appropriate, external writers or members of the wider MS Community (people with and affected by MS, healthcare workers, policy professionals, benefits experts etc) you’ll manage the creation of content for the charity’s digital platform that directly reflects the interests and needs of their audience.

You’ll develop community content across the organisation’s digital channels, bringing the voices of their community to life across their website.

You’ll have excellent writing and proofreading skills with meticulous attention to detail, basic photography and image-editing skills and basic video editing, production and camera work skills.

You’ll be joining the charity at an exciting stage of their digital programme as they shape the way they engage with supporters.

They offer 35 days annual leave (including bank holidays), travel loan and various other benefits such as supported developmental opportunities.

The charity is in the midst of an exciting, transformational, period which builds on their great history and will drive them towards achieving their mission and vision as they embark on their new 5 year strategy.
