Hoddesdon Town FC Seeking New Volunteer for Digital and Social Media Team

Hoddesdon Town Football Club is on the lookout for a passionate and creative individual to join its growing digital and social media team ahead of the new season.

The club is offering an exciting opportunity for someone who loves football, has a flair for writing, and is familiar with the world of social media. The voluntary role is perfect for an aspiring sports journalist or content creator who wants to gain valuable hands-on experience at a well-established non-league football club.

Based in the heart of Hertfordshire, Hoddesdon Town FC has a proud history and a loyal fanbase, and the club is keen to continue building its online presence through regular, engaging content. The new recruit will play a key role in helping the club connect with supporters both locally and further afield.

What’s Involved?
The role will primarily involve writing content for the club’s official website and social media channels. This includes match previews and match reports, keeping fans informed and entertained with detailed coverage of first team fixtures. In addition, the club is keen to publish a wider variety of stories — from player interviews and club announcements to behind-the-scenes features and community updates.

As part of the media team, you’ll also assist in sharing content across Hoddesdon Town’s social platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. Whether it’s live updates from the sidelines or creating engaging posts during the week, your creativity and communication skills will help keep fans connected to the club they love.

This is a great opportunity to contribute to the running of a historic football club while building a portfolio of published work in sports journalism and digital media.

Who Are We Looking For?
The ideal candidate will have a good understanding of how social media works and be comfortable using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and X. You’ll also need to be a confident writer with a genuine interest in football and a desire to tell compelling stories.

No formal qualifications are required, and full training and support will be provided. This role would particularly suit a student, recent graduate, or young football fan looking to get their foot in the door of the sports media world. That said, anyone with the passion and enthusiasm to contribute is welcome to apply.

A background in journalism, media, or digital content creation is a bonus, but not essential — the most important qualities are enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to get involved.

You don’t need to be available for every game or event, but a flexible approach and the ability to commit some time on evenings or weekends would be helpful.

Why Get Involved?
Volunteering with Hoddesdon Town FC offers more than just experience — it’s a chance to be part of a close-knit, community-driven club. You’ll work alongside friendly and supportive committee members, gain insights into non-league football operations, and see your work published and shared with the club’s audience.

For anyone considering a career in sports media, journalism, or communications, this is a brilliant stepping stone. Many professionals in the industry began their journeys at grassroots or non-league clubs — and Hoddesdon Town FC is keen to help nurture the next generation of media talent.

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your writing skills, build a media portfolio, or simply want to give back to your local football club, this could be the perfect role for you.
