Advertising Volunteer

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).

In this role, you'll have the autonomy to work independently and drive our advertising efforts forward.

What you'll be doing:

• Collaborating with your team to identify and maximise sponsorship and advertising opportunities.
• Inspiring local businesses and organisations to advertise in and sponsor our branch publications, events, and services.
• Working closely with our newsletter editor and activity organisers to ensure all advertising and sponsorship aligns with NCT's Commercial Activities Policy (CCAP).
• 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.

What we're looking for:

• Proactive and entrepreneurial — you're a self-starter who can take initiative.
• Confident communication skills — you're comfortable engaging with a variety of people.
• Some comfort with numbers — you're not afraid to work with financial details.
• Creative problem-solver — you can devise and present innovative solutions to meet advertisers' needs.
• Negotiation skills are a plus.

Willingness to learn and adhere to NCT policies and charity law (e.g., VAT).
