Student Volunteers wanted: Join the Social & Political Sciences digital team

Are you interested in writing, social media, video, design, interviewing, podcasting or public engagement?

The Social & Political Sciences team is recruiting student volunteers to help create content for their growing digital and social media channels. 

Students from any subject are welcome to apply - you do not need to be studying a Social & Political Sciences subject. 

The content explores ideas, research, student experiences and current issues across:

• Criminology
• Sociology
• Counselling
• Global Affairs, Politics & International Relations

There are a range of volunteer roles available, including:

• Public Engagement Officer
• Editor
• Content Coordinator
• Facebook & LinkedIn Post Writer
• Interview & Guest Outreach Lead
• Visual & Audio Assistant
• Reel Creator
• Infographic Creator
• Micro-Blogger
• Substack Article Writer

You do not need to be an expert or have previous experience. The roles are designed to give students an opportunity to develop practical skills, build experience, contribute ideas and create work that can form part of a professional portfolio.

Depending on your role and interests, you might help write articles, produce short-form videos, design graphics, interview guests, develop social media campaigns or help the team communicate research and ideas to wider audiences.
