Role description
The Social Media Officer would be expected to attend and participate in committee meetings, offering opinions and ideas. The main task of the role is to create and maintain an active and dynamic online presence for the SNPC.

This includes but is not limited to planning a weekly schedule of Tweets, monitoring Twitter for posts that would be interesting or relevant for the community, and collating job postings to share.
