ASPbelong Is Hiring a Remote Communication & Impact Partner | Earn £30–£50 Per Hour

ASPbelong is seeking a Communication & Impact Partner to lead communications, media outreach, and partnership-building efforts for its innovative education and mental health initiative. This remote freelance opportunity is open to candidates who are British nationals or legally authorized to work in the United Kingdom. The contract offers £30–£50 per hour, flexible part-time working arrangements, and the opportunity to contribute to a groundbreaking European research project focused on strengthening young people’s sense of belonging.

About ASPbelong

ASPbelong is a collaborative project involving universities, game developers, artists, and young people. Funded by Horizon Europe and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the initiative explores how immersive digital experiences can improve mental health and foster stronger real-world social connections.

Its flagship experience, Lina, is an interactive classroom activity designed for students aged 11–14.

The project has already been successfully piloted in schools across multiple countries and is preparing for a wider public launch.
