Developing a content strategy to engage more young people on TikTok
We need strategic minds We've taken the careers conversation to where young people told us they wanted to hear from us – TikTok.
After listening to feedback from focus groups where young people said "Please, not another webinar," we pivoted to short-form content. The result? Almost 10 million views last year from young people aged 13-24.
Our content's strength lies in its ability to build skills, widen knowledge, and share opportunities. But to maintain the trust young people have placed in us, we need authentic voices sharing diverse career pathways – we need media professionals like you to help shape our strategy.
WE NEED YOUR EXPERTISE
To develop engaging content approaches that resonate with Gen Z. Please, help us create a content strategy that connects meaningful career stories with young people who are eager to hear them. You bring your strategic insight, we'll provide the platform and audience.

Tailored Futures CIC
Help Us Build a Powerful Social Media Campaign for ReintegrateME
At Tailored Futures, we help people with criminal records rebuild their lives through employment and reintegration. But to truly make an impact, we need to tell our story in a way that resonates—challenging stigma, engaging employers, and reaching those who need our support.
That’s why we created ReintegrateME, a first-of-its-kind employment platform exclusively for people with an offending history. Think of it as LinkedIn meets Tinder—a space where employers can swipe right on candidates who match their requirements, making recruitment fairer and more inclusive. By using technology to bridge the gap between employers and jobseekers, we aim to change perceptions, reduce stigma, and create real opportunities.
We’re looking for a volunteer with expertise in digital marketing, content creation, or social media strategy to help us:
- Develop and execute a compelling social media campaign to raise awareness and encourage employer sign-ups for ReintegrateME.
Your time and expertise could change perceptions, open doors, and help create a fairer job market for all.
If you have experience in social media strategy and want to use your skills for a great cause, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to make second chances a reality.

Saint Cecilia's School
Film maker needed to create inspiring film to increase donations to state school
Help transform the educational experience of 1100 secondary state school children by encouraging donations to our School Fund! We desperately need a filmmaker to create a 2-minute film featuring talking heads (the headteacher, staff and pupils) and visuals from our school, set to music to inspire parents and those in our wider community to support our School Fund. The film will be used online, on social media and at parents' events.
We want it to be highly emotive and reflect the warmth and caring nature of our school. This will be made alongside the Development Manager, who can provide a written brief to start discussions. which can be shaped by the filmmaker for the best overall output.
The goal is to have an emotive video that communicates the benefit of donating to our School Fund, the difference it will make to our children and the importance of investing in a child's education. It is essentially an appeal to support our children and help level the playing field - giving our pupils the educational experience they deserve, so they have a fair chance of success.
