Great opportunity for a comms all-rounder with excellent editorial skills, happy to work across the comms mix. This is a varied and exciting role that will provide the right candidate with constant challenge, opportunity for development and exposure to issues impacting people’s lives.

About us

National Voices is the leading coalition of health and care charities in England. We work together to strengthen the voice of patients, service users, carers, their families and the voluntary organisations that work for them. We have more than 160 members covering a diverse range of health conditions and communities, connecting us with the experiences of millions of people. 

We do this by influencing policy, improving practice, and acting as a voice for voluntary organisations. We are well-respected, influential, and have a reputation for punching above our weight. 

Over the last 12 months we have restructured our team, developed a new business model and redesigned our strategy. Our goal is to close up the gap between policymakers and the people whose lives their decisions affect. This means we need to work more closely than ever with our members and the people they work with and for. We see it as part of our role to facilitate and strengthen action by people who use health and care services – advocating for better quality care for themselves and others.

Our new strategic focus means we now work through high profile partnerships and projects and we need to develop bespoke and overarching communications plans that explain our purpose and activities to a range of audiences. Good communication, with members, partners and stakeholders, is key to our success and we want to strengthen our capacity, which is why we are creating this new role. 

National Voices has a strong commitment to equality and diversity. We provide flexible and supportive working environment. We particularly welcome applications from people with a BAME background, as they are currently underrepresented in our workforce. We would also like to encourage applications from candidates with personal experience of health and care. 

The role

The role of Communications Manager sits at the heart of the new National Voices team.

As our Communications Manager you will oversee and shape the organisation’s communications channels across social media, email campaigns, webinars (and when it is possible, physical events). Using these existing channels, and by introducing others if they are needed, you will ensure our members are aware of and engaged with our collaborative projects. Additionally, looking beyond our membership, you will devise communications strategies and plans to ensure the research and insight developed through our projects are noticed by the right people. These audiences could include health policy experts, decision-makers within the health and care system, government and parliamentarians, and users of health services among the general public.

This is a varied and exciting role that will provide the right candidate with constant challenge, opportunity for development and exposure to issues impacting people’s lives. You will already be a comms all-rounder with excellent editorial skills, happy to work across the comms mix. We don’t expect you to be an expert in every facet of communications yet, but this role will enable you to develop further whilst owning and driving forward the organisation’s communications function. 

The role reports to our Head of Membership and Engagement and you will also work closely with our CEO and Head of Policy. You will have line management responsibility for junior staff as well as managing a mix of specialist agency and consultant support. You will also work with communications and policy colleagues from our diverse members and partners, who span the health and care sector.

We are a small, collaborative and supportive team with big ambitions for the future of health and care. If you are looking for your next challenge, are keen to learn and develop, and want a role that will make a difference to people’s lives, please get in touch.

Do you have experience and a genuine desire to support and advocate for refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants?

Do you have the ambition to join an organisation with a remit to change the world, challenge yourself, and to make a real and positive difference to people’s lives?

This is not a normal role. We are looking for a confident, self-motivated problem solver who enjoys working with a huge range of people. You will be part of a small external engagement team, which is part of a wider, high performing marketing, communications and fund-raising team.

The engagement team has four key goals:

• Build our profile so our values and opinions are heard by more people more often
• Support our fundraising efforts to help us generate income to fund our work
• Create and manage relationships with key stakeholders engaged in and supporting our work
• Protect our reputation by providing crisis management support and ensuring consistent messages are heard by external audiences.

We have grown our reach both on and offline in recent years, and you will be rolling out a new PR strategy to enable the organisation to make real, lasting change for good through extending our network across the world.

The communication officer will play a key role in helping us achieve that ambition in a number of ways:

• By building on existing partnerships with key stakeholders and donors
• By unlocking new opportunities with donors, thought leaders and stakeholders
• By developing and managing excellent external events, both online and offline.
• By producing highly engaging content for use on digital channels.

You will have responsibility for developing and managing relationships with fundraising teams in the UK and communications teams in partner and donor organisations.

You will help develop communications plans for key international development projects and will also be responsible for overseeing content from these projects for our social channels by working closely with our international communications teams.

You will also be responsible for identifying, driving and leading high profile organisational events, such as our presence at bluedot Festival and New Scientist Live.

The role will also include supporting other areas of the communications team with excellent social and digital content, and through an ability to respond to media enquiries.

About you

This role offers an amazing opportunity to be part of a highly committed team dedicated to demonstrating that with the right approach and ingenuity, it is possible to create a better world for people and the planet. It can be highly demanding and requires flexibility and tenacity. If you like certainty and a normal 9-5 day, it probably isn’t for you.

A key focus of the role will be excellent relationship building and management, both with external partners and with many internal teams in the UK and around the world.

You will therefore be confident and enjoy working with a range of different people from a huge variety of backgrounds and in a variety of different ways.Critical to the success of the role will be the ability to prioritise multiple projects and demands and to be able to communicate sometimes complex material and ideas in an accessible way.

You will understand what motivates others and have a desire to solve problems and to lead, when required. However, we work in some of the world’s toughest places to live so you will also have the ability to be flexible when plans unexpectedly change or need a quick solution!

Experience or interest in the private sector, of international issues and current affairs and some experience in or with the media would be desirable. Experience of working in an external communications role is essential.
