ABOUT THE NSS:

Founded in 1941, the NSS is the largest membership organization dedicated to caves & caving. Composed of over 8,000 members and 250+ local chapters - known as grottos - we connect cavers so they can explore, study and conserve caves worldwide.

ABOUT THE POSITION:

We're seeking a volunteer with strong front-end WordPress design skills to support project-based page buildouts to support NSS programs and teams. This role involves working within our WordPress instance (hosted in Plesk) using Beaver Builder, as a WYSIWYG editor, to help various teams publish and maintain aesthetically consistent and professional pages. Individual teams within the NSS can maintain the actual copy/content of those pages. They just need support in making sure page design is professional and in navigating the nuances of WordPress.

You'll use prebuilt templates as well as pages built from the group up to publish content provided by other volunteers. This position emphasizes design quality, layout consistency, and user experience, rather than content maintenance or custom technical development.

  • Experience building and editing pages in WordPress
  • Familiarity with visual builders (especially Beaver Builder)
  • Strong understanding of CSS for refining page styling and responsiveness
  • An eye for layout and responsive design
  • Ability to work within an established style and structure
  • A collaborative attitude and comfort communicating with non-technical teams

The NSS is committed to diversity and inclusion. All individuals, regardless of personal characteristics, are encouraged to apply.
