• Creating reels or simple video content
• Planning content around events or campaigns
• Using platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Canva or Meta Business Suite
• Understanding how to reach and engage a specific audience

• Clear and thoughtful communicator
• Non-judgemental and inclusive

What difference will you make?

Chiltern ADHD Clinic CIC provides free and low-cost support for neurodivergent people, families, students and the wider local community.

Skilled marketing support will help us reach the people who need our services, promote workshops and community events more effectively, and build awareness of ADHD/autism support locally.

This role is essential because many neurodivergent people struggle to find accessible, trusted support after diagnosis or while waiting for services. Clear, engaging and well-targeted communications will help us increase attendance, improve community awareness, attract future supporters and make our CIC more sustainable.
