Marketing & Social Media Trustee
Natural Neighbours
Marketing & Social Media Trustee wanted! 🦋
Location: Remote / London (Hackney focus)
Role Type: Volunteer Trustee (approx. 4–8 hours per month)
About Natural Neighbours
We work with inner-city communities to create vibrant, nature-friendly neighbourhoods where wildlife flourishes alongside people.
We believe cities have huge potential to support both human wellbeing and abundant wildlife. We build "Natural Neighbourhoods" by creating habitat hotspots in schools, estates, and community spaces. We empower local residents - our Natural Champions - to lead the recovery of urban nature.
We are at an exciting tipping point. Having proven our model in Hackney, we are now preparing to scale. To do this safely and sustainably, we need a "Canopy" of strong Trustee governance. We are looking for a creative, and strategic communicator to help share our story with the rest of the UK.
The Role
As our Marketing & Social Media Trustee, you will be the voice of the "Canopy" team (our Trustee Board). Reporting into our Chair of Trustees, you will be the strategic architect of how we reach new communities, inspire the next "Natural Champions," and demonstrate our ecological impact to funders.
What you’ll do:
- Set the Strategy: Build a digital roadmap that takes us from a local project to a national movement.
- Tell our Story: Help us translate complex ecological data and social "outcomes" into inspiring content.
- Provide Governance: Attend quarterly board meetings and offer ad-hoc expert advice to the leadership team.
- Amplify our Impact: Support the growth of our habitat-mapping app and digital community.
- Advocate: Work with our Founder and Trustee Board to ensure Natural Neighbours is a leading voice in urban rewilding.
Who you are:
- A seasoned pro in Marketing, Social Media, or PR (we love both corporate and creative backgrounds!).
- Someone who understands the power of a "virtuous comms spiral" - how a single post can lead to winning hearts and minds. That means more volunteers, more bees and better mental health for residents.
- A strategic thinker who can guide a small, passionate team on best practices.
- Committed to equity and inclusion, ensuring our message reaches everyone, especially in nature-deprived areas.
Why join us?
This is a chance to use your professional superpowers for the planet. You’ll be joining a diverse board of experts and working at the intersection of nature recovery and social justice. Plus, you’ll get to see the literal fruits (and flowers) of your labour as we rewild London.
Duration: We ask for a minimum commitment of 2–3 years serving on the Trustee Board.
About Natural Neighbours
Natural Neighbours has a positive, forward-looking vision of towns, cities and neighbourhoods where wildlife flourishes alongside people.
We recognise the basic human need to connect: with each other, with nature, and with ourselves.
Research shows local activities that nurture wildlife help to build a valuable sense of community connection and wellbeing. Additionally, areas such as balconies, patios and window boxes have potential to bring the health-giving benefits of nature to neighbourhoods.
Natural Neighbours is fusing these two concepts by bringing people together to nurture wildlife, using even the smallest of spaces to help nature thrive.
