International Network for Training, Education, and Research for Yemen

Media Assistants

Available
Remote
0-5 hours / month
1-3 hours / week

Our Media Assistant will play a vital role in supporting the effective dissemination of health issues in Yemen and the work of INTERYem.  Our roles are predominantly virtual from home.  Travel abroad is not required.  

What will you be doing?

The role is focussed on the effective use of social and print media; ensuring the website is up to date and relevant; looking after the integrity of our mailing lists; answering any media queries  and complying with data regulations. 
We have several projects ongoing that are focussed on improving patient outcomes in Yemen.  We need dedicated, conscientious, and most of all consistent volunteers who want to improve health inequalities across the world.  

What are we looking for?

Key areas:

  • Communication and Collaboration (at least 3 years of experience of effective communication and collaboration)
  • Social media 
  • Data Management

What difference will you make?

You will be working with senior healthcare workers from the UK.  Our projects are focussed on capacity-building, and are very much long-term.  

You will have a mentor, and there will be support available so that you are aware of how to work in a culturally-sensitive manner.  Good communication is vital; speaking Arabic in addition to English is helpful, but not essential.  Similarly, experience of healthcare and low-resource settings would be helpful, but not essential. 

We are happy to answer any questions that you may have. 

Before you apply

Please can you attach a CV and details of 2 references. 

We will then organise an informal chat to see how we can work together.  

Volunteers will be made aware of our ethical guidelines.
