Are comfortable using online tools and learning new platforms
Understand social media and digital marketing

Experience with WordPress, Canva, Mailchimp, Buffer, CRM systems and ChatGPT/AI tools would be a big advantage, but you don’t need to know every platform already. We’re happy to train the right person.
You don’t need to be an expert writer or graphic designer. What matters more is being organised, digitally confident, curious and willing to learn.
