Description

Volunteer Microsite Web Developer needed to design a clear, accessible campaign microsite for ADSS, a dementia support charity. Use your web skills for social good on a flexible, project-based role supporting people affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. What difference will you make? This volunteer role will have a direct and meaningful impact on ADSS and the people we support. Clear, accessible digital information is vital for individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia, as well as for their families and carers who are often seeking guidance during stressful and uncertain times. By creating a dedicated microsite, the Volunteer Microsite Web Developer will help ADSS present information in a clear, supportive, and easy-to-navigate way. As a small charity with limited in-house digital resources, ADSS relies on skilled volunteers to strengthen our online presence. The microsite developed through this role will bring together key information, resources, and signposting in one place, making it easier for people to find the help they need and engage with our services. This will reduce barriers for users who may have low digital confidence or require clear, straightforward information. The volunteer’s work will also enhance our ability to run focused awareness campaigns and information projects. A well-designed microsite allows ADSS to respond to specific needs, highlight priority issues, and guide users toward relevant support or next steps. This improves engagement, increases reach, and helps people access support earlier. In addition, the microsite will strengthen the quality and consistency of ADSS’s digital communications. Applying accessibility, usability, and SEO best practices will help ensure our content is inclusive and visible to a wider audience, including those who may not yet be aware of ADSS or the services we offer. Beyond the immediate project, the volunteer’s contribution will deliver long-term value. Clear documentation and a maintainable site structure will enable ADSS staff to update content and reuse the approach for future digital projects, building internal confidence and capacity. Overall, this role supports ADSS’s mission by improving how we share information, raise awareness, and connect people affected by dementia with the support they need. The volunteer’s work will help us use our limited resources more effectively while making a genuine difference to individuals, families, and carers. What are we looking for? We are looking for a volunteer who combines solid web development skills with a thoughtful, user-centred approach and a genuine interest in using their abilities for social good. The ideal volunteer will be comfortable working independently on a defined project, while also communicating clearly and constructively with a small, non-technical charity team. Essential Qualities And Experience The most important requirement is practical experience in building websites using HTML and CSS, with a basic working knowledge of JavaScript. The volunteer should understand responsive web design and be able to create layouts that work well across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. They should be confident translating a written brief or discussion into a clear digital structure and an engaging, easy-to-use microsite. Strong communication skills are essential. The volunteer will need to explain technical ideas in plain language, listen to feedback, and adapt their work based on the needs of ADSS staff and users. The ability to manage time well, meet agreed deadlines, and work independently is particularly important in a volunteer, project-based role. An understanding of SEO best practices is important, as the microsite needs to be visible and easy to find for people seeking dementia-related information. The volunteer should also be comfortable applying basic accessibility and usability principles to ensure the site is inclusive and easy to navigate. Desirable Skills And Experience Experience working with WordPress, static site builders, or content management systems such as Umbraco would be an advantage, as would familiarity with accessibility standards such as WCAG. Previous experience designing or developing content for health, support, or public-facing information sites would be particularly valuable. We would also welcome volunteers who have worked with charities, non-profit organisations, or community groups, as they are often familiar with balancing limited resources with high impact. However, this is not essential if the volunteer demonstrates the right mindset and approach. Personal qualities Beyond technical ability, we are looking for someone who is patient, reliable, and considerate. A calm and thoughtful design approach is important, as the microsite content will relate to dementia and support services. Sensitivity to the needs of older users, carers, and people under stress is essential. The ideal volunteer will be motivated by making a positive difference, take pride in producing clear and well-structured work, and be comfortable following safeguarding, confidentiality, and data protection requirements. Above all, we are looking for someone who is committed to delivering a high-quality outcome that genuinely helps people affected by dementia. Hybrid What will you be doing? The Volunteer Microsite Web Developer will play a key role in helping ADSS deliver clear, accessible, and supportive digital resources for people affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. The primary responsibility of the role is to design and develop a dedicated microsite hosted on adss.org.uk to support a specific campaign, information hub, or awareness initiative. The volunteer will translate a project brief into a functional, user-friendly microsite that aligns with ADSS branding, values, and tone. This includes planning page structure and navigation, building responsive layouts that work across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, and presenting content in a calm, readable way suitable for carers, older users, and people seeking health or support information. Key deliverables include a completed microsite with core content such as informational pages, downloadable resources, contact or enquiry forms, and clear calls to action that guide users toward relevant ADSS services. The volunteer will apply basic accessibility, usability, and SEO best practices to help ensure the microsite is inclusive, easy to use, and visible to those who need it. The role involves working collaboratively with ADSS staff, who may not have technical backgrounds, so clear and supportive communication is essential. The volunteer will help clarify requirements, respond to feedback, and make updates as the project progresses. While the role is largely independent, occasional check-ins will ensure the work stays aligned with project goals and timelines. As a small charity, ADSS relies on volunteers to extend its digital capacity, meaning the volunteer’s contribution will have a direct and meaningful impact. There is no expectation of ongoing site management after the project is completed, but the volunteer will provide clear documentation or handover notes. This may include guidance on updating content, understanding the site structure, or maintaining key features, enabling ADSS to manage the microsite confidently in the future. The volunteer will be expected to work within ADSS safeguarding and data protection policies at all times, particularly when implementing forms or data capture features. Although there is no direct contact with service users, the role supports an organisation working with vulnerable adults, so professionalism, care, and confidentiality are essential. Overall, the focus of this role is on delivering a high-quality, practical digital outcome rather than covering a full technical job description. The key priority is to create a well-structured, accessible microsite that helps ADSS communicate effectively, raise awareness, and improve access to support for people affected by dementia, while working closely with a small, dedicated charity team.
