Some experience or knowledge of using canva, or a different software package to design simple graphics is desirable.
Basic video editing ability would be nice to have.
An ability to express ideas in clear simple language is essential.
An interest in learning how to create easy read materials is essential.
Ideas on how to engage people with Twitter and Facebook posts is desirable.
A willingness to work independently is essential.
