Help us spread our good news as a volunteer storyteller

Marketing / PR volunteer needed for Dimensions

Volunteer Storyteller

We are looking for a volunteer who will work with our teams of staff to find, research and write/create good news stories. These will be shared both internally and externally, to celebrate and recognise the amazing work our staff and volunteers do each day.

Volunteer Storytellers will be based in a specific area, and will be partnered with a handful of services. With support from our central volunteering team, it will be their responsibility to connect with and investigate good news stories within these services. Once they have found good news stories worthy of sharing, they should then turn that story into engaging content.

Content produced can be in any form – articles, interviews, blogs, videos, podcasts etc. etc. We encourage creativity among our Storytellers.
