Tasks could include:
– Translation of written materials
– Help with editing information on digital platforms
– Supporting C3SC with interpreting for members of the community and with sharing information via email, social media, telephone, video conferencing and other digital means
– Attending events, fairs and drop-in sessions to support C3SC in their outreach to local communities.

General duties may include: organising and editing information for sharing, posting on our social media platforms including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, posting on the WordPress powered website, sourcing copyright free images and depending on your previous website development experience, optimising pages on WordPress and Search Engines.
