  • Run branch drop-ins, training sessions and clinics to build confidence and capability.

  • Lead competitions, giveaways and community-focused social initiatives.
  • Track performance, analyse results and share insight to improve future activity.
  • Create and adapt compelling, on-brand content for social channels, taking core campaign or business content and translating it into engaging, channel-appropriate social activity.
  • Act as the conduit between branches and the Communications Centre of Excellence, gathering local stories, insight and assets, and shaping clear briefs for newsletters, blogs and PR, ensuring social insight and local context are reflected.
  • Film and edit short-form video content for social channels.
  • Create or brief visual assets using tools such as Canva, or via our in-house studio, optimised for social platforms.
