Role: 

Social Media Assistant and Copywriter (Part-Time Manchester Based)

‍

What we’re looking for: 

Claddagh Creative is looking for a social and copywriting-obsessed individual to join our team as a Social Media Assistant + Copywriter. 

We’re looking for someone who is interested in working with sustainable e-commerce brands, is organised, collaborative, and detail-oriented, and who really wants to grow in this industry. 

‍

This is for you if: 

• You have previous experience in a social media role 
• You have previous experience within a role that involved some form of copywriting 
• You love both Social Media Marketing + Copywriting, and you're willing to put in the work to grow your skillset 

‍

This isn’t for you if: 

• This role will combine both social media + copywriting, so it’s important that you have a love for both; if you have experience in social media but not in copywriting or vice versa and you are not 100% sure if you like both, then this isn’t for you 
• You are not able to ‘professionally context switch’ what we mean by this is a social and copywriting job within an agency can mean a lot of back and forth and having to do a few things simultaneously; this type of skill goes beyond organisational skills, and if you feel like its something you can handle we’d love to hear from you!

‍

Duties and responsibilities: 

• Taking a client's social media strategy and working with the wider team to implement it
• Strategising with the client and the wider team on campaigns and content ideas to grow and elevate the client accounts

• Research on trend topics in regards to blogs, emails and social media 
• There will be other tasks not listed above that will be required that relate to social and or copywriting in some form

‍

Essential skills: 

• Understanding of social media platforms such as Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and TikTok.
• Initiative to not only improve but to ask for help 
• Inquisitive nature and a true desire to learn and improve - in regards to copywriting, social media and sustainability 
• The ability to spot a problem, come up with a solution and resolve it 
• Organisational skills are essential, social media marketing can be quite overwhelming and this skill of truly being able to be organised is much more rare 
• Excellent written and verbal skills
