Graphic Design/Social Media Manager// IN PERSON
About organisation / project
The Buy Nowt LS6 - Library of things is a community group and the Library of things itself is a library but instead of books it lends tools, powertools, holiday equipment and camping equipment. Essentially things that people use infrequently but would normally have to buy and store and by borrowing from us they save money, space in their home, money and reduce waste by people donating rather than throw away.
We are based in Headingley at the Headingley Methodist church.
The Library is Pay As You Feel for both items themselves and the Library membership itself.
Our opening hours are Friday 4pm-6pm and Saturdays 1pm-4pm. We have some volunteeering oppurtunities that can be done outside of those hours and from home.
Who we’re looking for:
Essential:
- Someone who believes in the Library of Things concept and wants to help it succeed.
- A computer literate person (able to use Microsoft Excel, Word, Internet and emails, social media websites)
- Good with people and good communication skills both verbally and written.
- Willing to donate their time and work with us and our volunteers.
- Good organisational skills.
Desirable:
- Previous Social media page or high profile personal account running experience
- An interest in environmentalism and community based action.
- Understanding of social media algorithms and best practise on page growth and success.
- Experience with design software e.g. photoshop.
- Experience with photography and cameras and ideally your own camera although we do have a good one you can use.
Technical information
Time requirements: The role would need approximately 2.5-5 hours a week of time. This can be flexible to work around how much help we need that week and our opening times.
Compensation: We cannot offer compensation but it goes without saying you'd be able to use the library as much as you wanted no matter where you live and borrowing and membership would be free.
Location: Ideally we are looking for someone in LS6 as we would like to build locally community connections and reduce the carbon footprint travelling to volunteering. However, we welcome help from anyone in Leeds.
