SharePoint Intranet Design & Engagement Volunteer

We're looking for someone who can help us engage others ... Is that you?

Are you looking to keep your skills fresh?? Do you need a project to put on your CV??  If so this could be the perfect opportunity for you. You could be our new SharePoint Intranet Design & Engagement Volunteer

Can you commit to around 1-2 days a week for around 3-6 months to help us shape our SharePoint site? This is a hybrid opportunity – can be homebased and or at our offices at Chilcomb House, Winchester.

Why do we need you ?

We’ve recently moved from Workplace (Meta) to Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, introducing our new HCT (Hampshire Cultural Trust)  Intranet, the digital heart of how we want our people to connect, collaborate, and share stories across our sites.

We know SharePoint can do much more, and we’re looking for a creative, technically minded volunteer to help us push the boundaries of what’s possible, shaping the look, feel, and usability of our intranet, and building confidence across our teams to use it well.

You’ll play a key role in helping us turn SharePoint into an engaging, inspiring, and user friendly digital workspace that truly reflects the values and culture of Hampshire Cultural Trust.

What we would like you to help us with is -

Work with the People and Internal Communication teams to review and refine the design & layout of the HCT SharePoint intranet.

Develop and embed design principles and templates that make content easy to navigate, accessible, and engaging.

Support the creation of interactive and dynamic pages (e.g. news, updates, staff spotlights, campaigns, document libraries).

Help train and upskill team members in using SharePoint tools, through guides, or short how to sessions.

These would be a bonus -

Explore creative ways to bring our brand, culture, and employee voice to life through the platform.

Collaborate with staff to gather feedback and continuously improve the site’s design and functionality.

In return we'll give you -

The opportunity to make a real impact on how colleagues connect and collaborate across Hampshire Cultural Trust.

A chance to shape a new digital workspace used by hundreds of staff and volunteers.

Experience of working on a live intranet design and change project.

Flexible volunteering, hybrid or remote.

Support from a friendly, open, and appreciative team.

Insight into the workings of a leading culture and heritage charity.

A ‘Team Card’ that gives free and unlimited access to our fee paying venues for you and up to three other people.  You can also redeem 10% off in all of our cafes, bars and giftshops at all of our Trust venues.
