Our tiny team has big ideas. We want Growing Works to reach the people of Kirklees so they can access our activities, donate to our charity to keep our services going and support the longevity of our work.  

As a social seed sower you will support Growing Works in telling its story online by creating engaging, uplifting, and informative social media content that reflects our new brand identity and helps us reach more people who can benefit from or support our work. 

• Create and schedule social media posts across platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok depending on skills) 

• Capture or curate photos, videos, and stories from sessions, events, and the Growing Works community 

• Help maintain a consistent tone of voice and visual style aligned with our new brand identity 

• Respond to comments and messages in a friendly, supportive manner (where appropriate) 

• Support campaign planning for events, fundraising, and awareness weeks 

• Monitor engagement and suggest ideas to improve reach and impact 

• Work closely with staff and volunteers to gather stories, updates, and content opportunities 

You don’t need to be a professional — just enthusiastic and willing to learn. We’re looking for someone who: 

• Enjoys social media and understands how different platforms work 

• Has a creative eye for visuals, storytelling, or design 

• Communicates clearly and positively 

• Is organised and able to work independently 

• Is aligned with Growing Works’ values of inclusion, wellbeing, and community 

• Is comfortable working in outdoor or community settings when gathering content 

Flexible — ideally 2–4 hours per week, which can be done remotely. 

Most of our team are based in Huddersfield, but we cover Kirklees. We can meet via teams, google or zoom. We have use of an office in Huddersfield where we can meet in person.

• A chance to build a portfolio of posts, campaigns, and creative work

• A role that fits around your life — remote, on‑site, or a mix 

• The chance to shape how the new brand identity comes to life
