Undivided is seeking an experienced freelance writer for a mission-driven company that offers the opportunity to directly impact families raising children with disabilities on a large scale.
Who we are: Parents raising kids with disabilities and developmental delays have to navigate complex systems to get their children the services they need, from medical care to therapies to accommodations at school. Our mission at Undivided is to provide better resources to families so that every child with disabilities can access those services — and parents have more time, more money, greater emotional bandwidth, and a community of support around them.
Undivided provides an innovative desktop and mobile app that makes it easy for parents to organize, digitize, and share their child’s paperwork from anywhere. We also offer 1:1 support through parent coaching for families who need more assistance. We have created a formidable parent resource hub that includes long-form articles tackling topics that matter most to our families, resource lists, how-tos, interviews, and guides. We distribute a newsletter to thousands of subscribers and host frequent virtual events and office hours with experts in special education, public benefits, health insurance, advocacy, and more.
The content writer will write and format long and short-form articles, aimed at providing actionable information to parents raising kids with disabilities while maintaining the brand integrity and overall tone of Undivided. Articles are based on research and interviews; interviews are recorded whenever possible, depending on source preference. Candidates must have a strong background in interviewing, critical thinking skills, and professional journalistic writing experience.
