Volunteer Web Developer

Long Covid Cuppa group provides a safe space for Long Covid sufferers, offering free teas, coffees, cakes, and monthly meetings on Fridays 2-4pm. The group aims to provide a safe, non-judgemental space for people to come together and make new friendships.

We are currently developing a web site for the Long Covid Cuppa group using Hostinger, WordPress, WPForms, MailerLite and related tech. We are looking for volunteers to help complete the project and help maintain and improve the website over time.

This can include helping the committee make week by week updates and mailings.


Volunteers will need to work in confidence with people with a long term condition (Long Covid) that sometime makes them unavailable for periods of time. Patience and understanding will be important.


Experience required

The volunteer will require some experience in web development, at least in configuring and working with a CMS and preferably in using and coding in lower level web technologies.
Also needs an understanding of GDPR, security and able to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of digital and personally shared information.

Travel details

This is a remote opportunity - at your own home. Volunteers will need to use their own computer and internet connection.

Travel expenses

Training details
