Volunteer Opportunity: Social Media & Content Assistant.

Love creating content? Have a knack for making scroll-stopping Reels? Join Roundabout Glasgow, Glasgow’s go-to baby travel equipment rental service, as our Social Media & Content Volunteer!

Why Does It Matter?

Roundabout is powered by the team behind Merry-go-round, an award-winning social enterprise dedicated to reducing waste and supporting families. At Roundabout, we believe that travelling with children shouldn’t mean buying more stuff or creating more waste. We’re passionate about making the best use of the planet’s resources by offering a smarter, more sustainable way to access baby equipment.

Whether it’s a foldable buggy for a flight or a blackout blind for a sunny weekend, families often need things just for a short time. Renting instead of buying helps reduce clutter, waste, and unnecessary spending, without compromising on quality or convenience.

Roundabout is the next step in our journey to make sustainability the easy choice. Every rental supports a circular model that keeps great products in use and out of landfills, while helping parents travel lighter and live more simply.

We’re looking for creative and enthusiastic volunteers who are excited about storytelling, social media, and helping families travel stress-free.

• Help craft fun and engaging Reels, stories, and posts for Instagram and Facebook

• Are interested in marketing, branding, or content creation.


• Want to build your portfolio, skills, or CV in content creation?


• Are excited to be part of a friendly, values-driven team.

What’s in it for you?

-Opportunities to explore other volunteer roles within the organization

• A fun, sociable, and impactful experience that makes a real difference

Time Commitment: A minimum of 3-6 hours per week.
