Embrace Autism – Social Media and Marketing Intern

Job Description

Most marketing internships ask you to resize graphics and follow a content calendar someone else created.

This role expects you to help build the calendar.

At Embrace Autism, we are looking for a Social Media & Marketing Intern who can help us turn more than 12 years of practical experience into clear, useful, and engaging content.

You will work closely with the team to build brand awareness, communicate our expertise, and help more parents, professionals, and members of the public understand what we do.

This is not a role where you wait for perfectly written instructions.

You may receive a rough voice note, an idea from a client session, a workshop takeaway, or a half-finished caption. Your job is to organise it, sharpen it, turn it into content, and help move it towards publication.

One day, you may be creating an Instagram carousel about social skills. The next, you may be editing a short-form video, preparing workshop materials, updating a content tracker, or helping coordinate a public event.

If you enjoy turning ideas into clear communication, building systems from scratch, and working in an entrepreneurial environment, keep reading.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

• Plan and maintain content calendars for Instagram, Facebook, and other relevant platforms
• Turn rough ideas, voice notes, session insights, and educational concepts into clear content
• Write captions, hooks, headlines, short scripts, and educational posts
• Create social media graphics, carousels, reels, and simple videos
• Film or assist with filming short-form educational content
• Edit videos using tools such as Instagram Reels, TikTok, or other similar platforms
• Repurpose one idea into multiple formats, including reels, carousels, captions, articles, and workshop content
• Research relevant autism, parenting, social skills, communication, and education topics
• Support brand-building campaigns, workshops, talks, programmes, and community events
• Track basic content performance, including reach, engagement, saves, shares, and enquiries
• Identify which topics and formats perform well and suggest improvements
• Maintain organised folders, content banks, photographs, videos, testimonials, and marketing materials
• Assist with website updates, blog preparation, email communications, and programme listings
• Help prepare presentation slides, handouts, certificates, forms, and event materials
• Follow up on simple marketing, partnership, workshop, or event-related tasks
• Use AI tools responsibly to support research, writing, content planning, and administrative work
• Help the team get things done, even when the task does not fit neatly into a job title

This is a startup and building-stage role. Some systems already exist, but many still need to be improved, organised, or created.

You will be expected to contribute ideas rather than only execute instructions.

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll fit in well if you:

• Are studying or have recently graduated in Marketing, Communications, Media, Business, Psychology, Design, or a related field
• Write and speak English clearly
• Understand how Instagram, Facebook, reels, carousels, and short-form content work
• Can turn complex ideas into simple and engaging communication
• Have a good eye for clean, professional, and warm visual content
• Are organised and able to keep track of multiple small tasks
• Are comfortable working with incomplete ideas and turning them into finished work
• Take initiative instead of waiting for repeated reminders
• Can receive direct feedback and revise your work quickly
• Are willing to learn about autism, neurodiversity, parenting, social skills, and human development
• Can balance creativity with accuracy and professionalism
• Are dependable, responsive, and able to meet deadlines

Bonus Points If You:

• Have experience managing a social media account
• Can use Instagram confidently
• Passionate about analysing social media metrics and improve content based on results
• Have created reels, TikTok videos, carousels, or educational content
• Understand basic branding, copywriting, storytelling, or content strategy
• Can take good photographs or videos using a phone
• Have experience with website platforms, email marketing, or basic SEO
• Have used AI tools for content creation, research, transcription, or workflow automation
• Are interested in psychology, education, autism, parenting, therapy, or social impact
• Have experience working in a startup, small business, or founder-led environment

What You’ll Gain

• Real responsibility for building the visibility of a growing brand
• Direct experience developing a brand from an early stage
• Hands-on exposure to social media strategy, content production, and audience growth
• Opportunities to create work that will actually be published and used
• Experience turning professional expertise into accessible public education
• A portfolio of social media content, campaigns, videos, articles, and marketing materials
• Direct mentorship and feedback from the company’s Director
• Experience working closely with a founder rather than through several layers of management
• Exposure to workshops, programmes, community outreach, and business development
• A better understanding of how a service-based and social-impact business grows
• Opportunities to contribute ideas and influence how the company communicates
• Potential opportunities for continued part-time or project-based work after the internship

Strong performers may be considered for a longer-term marketing, content, or operations role.

This Role Is Perfect for Someone Who Wants To

• Experience what it is like to build a brand from the ground up
• Develop strong content creation and marketing skills quickly

• Learn how to position an expert and service-based business
• Build a meaningful portfolio instead of producing unused intern assignments

• Needs every caption, graphic, and task to be fully planned for them
• Dislikes administrative work or believes marketing is only creative work
• Frequently misses deadlines or needs repeated follow-up
