Are you a proactive and entrepreneurial individual with a knack for communication and a desire to support a great cause? We're looking for a motivated Advertising Volunteer to help us secure vital sponsorship and advertising opportunities. This role is a fantastic chance to utilise your skills to make a real impact, and it offers flexibility, requiring approximately 1 hour per week (with the option to dedicate more time if you wish).

Ensuring invoices are raised and funds are promptly banked and accounted for with the branch treasurer.
Liaising with other NCT branches to keep our advertising rates competitive.
Connecting with the Volunteering Team before approaching any companies with a UK-wide or significant regional presence to avoid duplication.

Excellent support from experienced volunteers and our dedicated Volunteering Team.
Access to an online platform packed with all the tools, resources, and training you'll need.
Expenses paid in line with our expenses policy.
A commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in everything we do.
Most importantly, the chance to make a real and lasting difference to parents in your local community!
