Do you live and breathe social media, love creating content and want to make a real difference to students’ lives?

We’re looking for a Communications & Digital Content Officer to help shape how students see, hear and experience their Students’ Union. You’ll be at the heart of our digital presence, leading our social media channels, creating impactful content and helping us tell powerful stories about our work, our campaigns and our amazing students.

This is a brilliant role for someone who’s confident with content creation, enjoys working across multiple projects, and wants to use their creativity to support a diverse student community.

​

In this role, you will:

• Lead our social media channels– including Instagram, TikTok, X and LinkedIn – planning content, posting regularly and driving engagement.
• Create multimedia content– from short-form videos and Reels to graphics and photography – that brings our services, events and campaigns to life.
• Work with student content creators– briefing and supporting them to produce fun, relevant and inclusive content that reflects student voices.
• Support key campaigns and events– such as Freshers, elections, liberation campaigns and major SU events, making sure they are highly visible and well-promoted.
• Produce videos and digital stories– planning, scripting, filming and editing content for social media, presentations and marketing activity.
• Design digital and print materials– from posters and screens to social assets and email graphics, ensuring everything aligns with our brand.
• Create engaging copy– writing emails, newsletters, web content and posts tailored to different student audiences.
• Use insight and analytics– tracking performance through Google Analytics, CMS data and social media tools, and using this to improve what we do next.

You’ll be part of a supportive Communications Team, working closely with colleagues across the organisation to help us reach under-represented groups, champion student voice and increase participation in all that UWLSU offers.

​

We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience managing multiple projects and deadlines.
• Are confident using social media platforms in a professional context.
• Can create or edit content using tools such as Adobe Suite, Canva, Capcut or similar.
• Enjoy writing clear, engaging copy tailored to different audiences.
• Are curious about analytics and keen to use data to inform your work.
• Have an eye for design and an understanding of branding.
• Are full of ideas, open to feedback and excited to try new things.

You don’t need to tick every box to apply. If you have the passion, creativity and willingness to learn, we’d still love to hear from you.

​

​

At UWLSU, we’re proud to represent and support a culturally diverse, inclusive and ambitious student community. We are:

• Inclusive– we welcome and celebrate different perspectives.
• Collaborative– we work together with students and staff to make things happen.
• Informed & Innovative– we use insight and creativity to drive change.
• Committed & Empowering– we back our staff and students to do their best work.

You’ll join a friendly, supportive team where your ideas are valued, your development matters and your work has a direct impact on students’ lives.
