APPLICATION DEADLINE HAS NOW PASSED

Are you someone who can engage and grow the project community through social media to help us reach more people? 

We have been working hard to get The Mirrorbox to message locations and we are almost ready… This journey is about more than messages—it’s about connection, presence, and amplifying voices that are too often unheard.

🚨 WE ARE READY TO MAKE SOME NOISE! 🚨

We have funding for social media & comms support for the initial mirrorbox journey starting in May / June this year.

This is a PAID role designed to be flexible, and can support more than one person in the role to enable people managing limited energy to be part of the project. Please see the job outline below. If you have the experience and skills we are looking for and can work even two hours a week, we’d love to hear from you.

✅ Who can apply?

This role involves directly communicating and representing the experiences of living with Long Covid and M.E. To ensure authenticity, we request that all applicants have experience of either M.E., Long Covid, or an energy-limiting condition.

About the project team
We are a small team running a big project. Over 60% of the team are living with M.E. and Long Covid.  We come from lived experience and as such a place of deep understanding.

So many people living with chronic illness and disability have brilliant experience and skills but cannot commit to traditional working patterns due to the fluctuating nature of their conditions. We are looking to challenge that.

We have created role-sharing processes to enable and support multiple people to be part of our team (some of our team work as little as 2 hrs a week but still make valuable contributions).

How to apply
Apply with a CV and covering letter telling us about you, your ideas, experiences and how you can help us. We will not consider applications where only a CV has been submitted.

Applications and any questions email: [email protected]

Deadline: 5pm April 2nd
