Digital Communications Intern

About NAZ

NAZ is the sexual health charity dedicated to people experiencing better sexual health. We do this because there’s a big gap in the sexual health outcomes of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities compared to the general population. Everything we do works to reverse this trend.

Our evidence-based interventions are designed to enable those with the greatest risk of poor sexual health outcomes to have fulfilling sexual lives, understand how to access the right local service and ultimately to support better physical, mental and sexual health outcomes.

Role

NAZ is looking to recruit a keen digital whizz who can create and edit impactful visual content to consistently articulate NAZ’s message, services, events and campaigns. Your day-to day tasks will vary and are likely to include designing and writing copy for small media, shareable memes/graphics, videos, and flyers. You will also be creating content for awareness days, national campaigns plus keeping abreast of topical news related to sexual health (STIs/HIV), Mental Health, LGBTQ+ and BAME issues.

Our timings are flexible, we would like you to be free for 1-2 days a week, Monday - Friday. This may be split into half days if you wish.

One of your half or full days must be a Friday, when the Communications & Digital Engagement Manager is not in the office.
