Part-Time Social Media & Graphics Assistant

Position Overview

Evidence Based Birth® is accepting applications for a part-time Social Media & Graphics Assistant to support our Content Team.

This position will be held by an individual with demonstrated, current proficiency in Canva who is comfortable working independently in a remote, part-time capacity. Prior experience in birth work or the perinatal field is not required for this position.

The Social Media & Graphics Assistant supports the Content Team at Evidence Based Birth®, under the direction of our leadership team. The purpose of this role is to develop and produce polished, on-brand social media graphics, and to manage the scheduling of that content across our social media platforms, with Instagram as our primary channel. Responsibilities include brainstorming creative concepts and campaign ideas, designing graphics in Canva, scheduling posts, incorporating feedback and revisions in a timely manner, and attending a weekly team meeting.

This is a paid, part-time position of up to 10 hours per week. Candidates will begin with a paid trial project, which will serve as the basis for an initial offer. Applicants must possess active, working knowledge of Canva.

Notice about the Non-Use of AI

Here at EBB, we avoid the use of generative AI in our workplace. You can read our complete policy on the use of AI in EBB’s workplace here. Do NOT apply for this position if you prefer to use generative AI (i.e. chatbots) to complete work tasks such as brainstorming, drafting creative concepts, writing captions, or other work efforts. This also applies to visual content, as we do not use AI image or video generation tools to create graphics. All visual assets must be designed directly by you in Canva.

Applicants to EBB positions are instructed to use their own thoughts and words when writing their applications or attending an interview. Our promise to you is that all job applications will be screened and reviewed by one or more human team members at EBB. No AI will be used by EBB during the screening, interview, or decision process.

Note: As Canva continues to add new AI features and enhance its software platform, we’re actively reviewing these updates to ensure compliance with our AI policy.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a creative, detail-oriented, and dependable person who knows Canva inside and out, to help our Content Team develop and produce social media content and manage our posting schedule.

What We Do

Evidence Based Birth® exists to publish accurate, accessible, and inclusive research that empowers communities. We envision a world in which all birthing families have access to safe, respectful, evidence-based care!

Our mission-based programs (EBB Pro Membership and EBB Instructor Program) support and uplift birth workers and help them find community, hope, and the strength to use their voice.

Every day we are working to make evidence-based information easily accessible on the EBB website, podcast, and social media channels. We pride ourselves on teaching high-quality trainings and providing accessible research handouts and articles.

We encourage our team to educate themselves on and support the National Association to Advance Black Birth’s “Black Birthing Bill of Rights®.”

Work with Amazing People

Evidence Based Birth® was founded by Rebecca Dekker (she/her), a Registered Nurse with her Master’s and PhD in Nursing, and author of the best-selling book, “Babies Are Not Pizzas: They’re Born, Not Delivered!”

The Evidence Based Birth® Team includes more than 10 virtual teammates, including research scientists, birth workers, and advocates who are passionate about changing the status quo and making a difference (we also like to have fun together, too!!)

The Content Team at Evidence Based Birth® is led by Tiffanie Smith, Content Team Manager.

Make a Difference

The content you help create and schedule reaches our audience of 47,000+ email subscribers, 100,000+ social media followers, and a large audience of podcast listeners (more than 8 million downloads!). Our social media presence plays a key role in extending the reach of our research, our programs, and our mission to families and birth workers around the world.

How do we do it all? Well as a team, of course! And with the backing and financial support of our hundreds of paying Pro Members, who come for the continuing education that we provide, but stay for the support and community.
