They will work closely with you on one of the following:

- Creating, planning and managing your content
All sessions will be delivered remotely and your mentor will support by:
- Reviewing your current digital communications
- Setting realistic digital goals
- Developing a plan of action
- Building an impact plan to evaluate your digital communications
The opportunity is open to small and medium charities across the UK who work in one or both of these areas work and learning.
If your work:
- Supports young people or adults into training, education or employment
- Provides support for people and families at risk of or experiencing poverty caused by unemployment
