Build and develop the website pages, digital content or resources required. Review the finished work and identify opportunities to improve and develop it further. For example, you might be asked to support the launch of a new Trust programme or initiative. You would be expected to think through how we should present it, who we need to reach, what content would engage that audience, what the website needs to do, what photography or video would strengthen the message and how the finished piece should work as part of the wider Trust's digital presence. This is a role for someone who enjoys creating, developing and improving , and who can turn an initial idea into a well-planned, polished and purposeful piece of digital work.
