Volunteer Instagram Mentor
Six month role, ideally Auckland based
Part of the Trust’s communication strategy is an Instagram account that should engage with the level 2 and level 3 students who are interested in physics and the tournament. The objective is to increase awareness and participation. The business suite account is nzypt_official, pictured above. We need to be able to moderate posts as the account is aimed at teenagers.
It is part of our kaupapa to give students extra-curricular opportunities where appropriate. Our Instagram Coordinator is a Y12 student, selected for their interest in communications and using the work as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award portfolio. However, we are struggling to set them up for success. None of the Trustees are Instagram experts. Most of us don’t use the channel in a personal capacity. We need help!
This volunteering role has two objectives.
- Guide the Trust to set up our Instagram account(s) appropriately so the student coordinator can thrive. This includes determining what, if any, other applications are needed.
- Mentor the student coordinator to use the business suite as distinct from a personal one.
Experience running a youth focussed Instagram account with a record of growing engagement is essential. This include knowing how to set up the Business Suite account appropriately.
This position is police vetted as it involves working directly with students under 18 years of age. After reestablishing teh account, it is expected to take an hour or two a week.
