Social Media Manager

Do you want to make a difference in the life of people with Long Covid? And are you skilled in social media? Join the Long Covid Toolkit team as a Volunteer Social Media Manager. We have room for several volunteers that collaboratively manage our social media channels. 

About Us:

The Long Covid Toolkit is a non-profit initiative founded by epidemiologist Joanneke van der Nagel and project manager Edo Plantinga. Our goal is simple: to offer easy-to-understand, evidence-based resources to help people manage Long Covid symptoms. Many of us, including the founders, have lived experiences with Long Covid, making our work deeply personal and meaningful.

Role Overview:

As a Social Media Manager, you will lead our social media strategy to build community awareness, engage with audiences, and increase the reach of our resources. This is a flexible, remote volunteer opportunity that would suit someone looking to make a positive impact on the Long Covid community.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and implement social media campaigns across platforms like X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn
• Create engaging and informative content (graphics, posts, stories) about current Long Covid research and developments
• Monitor and respond to messages and comments to foster community engagement
• Amplify the message of other organizations in the Long Covid space
• Collaborate with the core team and the other volunteers in this role to ensure messaging is consistent and accurate
• Work with the crowdfunding team

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience with managing social media accounts, either professionally or personally
• Strong communication skills and creativity
• Understanding of social media trends and how to engage diverse audiences
• A passion for health advocacy, particularly in the Long Covid or chronic illness community, is a plus
• Ability to work independently

What’s in it for you? 

• The chance to contribute to a meaningful cause that directly supports people living with Long Covid
• Flexible, remote work environment
• Join a supportive team driven by shared lived experiences

Time Commitment:

Roughly 3-10 hours a week, but we’re flexible based on your schedule and energy level (and yeah, we know how that level can fluctuate).
