Job Description

🎯 The Role

We’re looking for a Social Media Manager who can shape the club’s online identity, tell our story, and engage fans, sponsors, and the local community.
You’ll have creative freedom and direction from the club committee but will be trusted to make the project your own — an important and high-impact role in Lightwater United’s growth.

🧠 Key Responsibilities

  • Plan and manage content across Instagram, X (Twitter), Facebook, and TikTok.

  • Attend matchdays (Saturday 2 PM) to capture key moments, photos, short clips, and behind-the-scenes content.

  • Produce match previews, live updates, and post-match reports or graphics.

  • Promote sponsorships, club events, and announcements.

  • Work with the manager and committee to highlight the club’s values, players, and community impact.

  • Maintain a consistent visual identity and tone of voice across platforms.

  • Track engagement and suggest ideas to grow our following and reach.

💡 Ideal Candidate

  • Lives locally to Lightwater or surrounding areas (Camberley, Bagshot, Windlesham, etc.).

  • Confident using social media platforms and creative tools (Canva, CapCut, Photoshop, or similar).

  • Passionate about football and digital media.

  • Comfortable attending matches and interacting with players/staff.

  • Motivated, proactive, and able to work independently.

  • Reliable and organised — takes pride in consistency.

🚀 What You’ll Gain

  • First-hand experience managing a football club’s digital brand.

  • Portfolio of real content across multiple social platforms.

  • References and networking opportunities within non-league football.

  • Experience collaborating with coaches, players, and sponsors.

  • Creative freedom to experiment, grow, and leave your mark on the club’s development.
