The Mount Camphill Community
Help us recruit volunteers via social media!
We're a small East Sussex Camphill Community that each year invites 10-15 volunteers to live with us for a year and life-share in our community whilst supporting the educational, living and work opportunities for our community members who are neurodiverse, have SEN needs or other learning difficulties.
We get many applicants from Germany, Brazil and the Philippines and each year can fill our quota of volunteers from these 3 countries. However, before COVID we received applications from a more diverse range of countries and we would like help to finetune our SEO and use of hashtags to reach further into the world.
Also, the impact of Brexit means European volunteers can only stay 1 year with us - previously many would fall in love with the community and stay an extra year or two (some for the rest of their lives!). This could still be an opportunity for any UK or Irish volunteers we happened to recruit. Therefore, we'd like assistance developing a focused social media strategy that runs from October '25 to February '26 to reach UK/Irish audiences to remain to re-open the door for potential 2nd/3rd/4th year volunteers and beyond.
We are looking for a communications and social media specialist, with an understanding of driving recruitment of volunteers.

Charity Details
Our Core Purpose is to offer people with and without a learning disability the opportunity to choose and experience meaningful living, learning and working within a mutually supportive environment, informed by anthroposophical insights.
We work with an emphasis on craft, art, movement, therapies and caring for the land. We recognise and respect the spiritual integrity of the individual human being, practicing community building as a means of striving to achieve spiritual, economic and cultural well-being.
We wish to nurture a community which upholds human integrity and spiritual wholeness. Where each individual, with or without a learning disability, can give and learn through creating mutual relationships; where each cares for the land and the environment; where a therapeutic and healing impulse is alive; where relationships with the wider community are fostered.
Through a heart, head and hands approach to living, learning and working we integrate statutory requirements with The Mount's core purpose and values; celebrate festivals in a beautiful environment; support students, Cohousing members and all community members to achieve individual aspirations by working with anthroposophical approaches to teaching, learning, living and training; engage international volunteers, offering all community members the opportunity to establish an individual identity.
