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

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

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

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

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

Build a meaningful portfolio instead of producing unused intern assignments
