Volunteer role: Humanist Climate Action Social Media Lead

Volunteer role: Humanist Climate Action Social Media Lead 2-3 hours per week Join our volunteer team! Humanist Climate Action is a volunteer-led network of Humanists UK members and supporters committed to redefining lifestyles and campaigning for policies that promote low-carbon, ethical, and sustainable living in the light of the degeneration of the Earth’s climate and biodiversity. We aim to bring humanists together to facilitate individual and collective action on these issues. The Steering Committee is responsible for planning and executing HCA’s work, in line with its aims and policy. The Committee is appointed by Humanists UK’s Director of Human Rights & Advocacy. Its members report to the Chair, and as a whole it is supported and overseen by Humanists UK’s Human Rights & Advocacy Administrator. We are seeking a dedicated and driven Social Media Lead to join our Committee, to assist in delivering the activities of Humanist Climate Action. The role will primarily support the committee’s social media output across all its channels, including custom feed posts, uploading images and videos, monitoring threads, posting group updates and news stories, as well as highlighting calls to action. Take a look at the full role description and person specification ( .docx or .pdf ) to help you decide whether the role is right for you, and consider what you would get out of the role as well as what you might bring to it. Whatever your background, or prior experiences, if you’re passionate about the planet, and the role humanists can play in protecting it, we’d love to hear from you. We actively encourage applications from all sections of our community. We particularly welcome applicants from groups currently under-represented among our committee volunteers; these would include individuals who identify as disabled, LGBT+, or from the global majority.

Today we’re trusted by over 120,000 members and supporters and over 70 local and special interest affiliates to promote humanism. We put humanism into practice through effective campaigning and services, supporting lasting change for happier, more fulfilling lives. Our policies are informed with the support of over 150 of the UK’s most prominent philosophers, scientists, and other thinkers and experts and we seek to advance them with the help of over 100 parliamentarians in membership of the All Party Parliamentary Humanist Group. We bring like-minded people together to make change happen, and we strive to be their voice in public debate, drawing on contemporary humanist thought and the worldwide humanist tradition. We’ve been conducting non-religious funerals, weddings, and baby-namings for 120 years. Our highly trained celebrants are the best you’ll find anywhere, and they support individuals to create authentic, bespoke ceremonies that put people and their stories at the heart of every occasion. We also help vulnerable people easily access like-minded and effective non-religious pastoral support that is specially tailored to work for them. Our trained and accredited non-religious pastoral support volunteers operate across hospitals, prisons, and the armed forces. Founded in 1896 Co-workers 1,000+ People
