Closing Date: 12 May 2025

Save the Children UK has an exciting opportunity for a creative and tech savvy individual with extensive communications and social media experience to join us as our Scaling Up Nutrition Civil Society Network (SUN CSN) Communications Adviser where you will work with the team to lead storytelling and communications for a vibrant global network committed to improving nutrition and health outcomes worldwide.

Please note: This is a 12-month maternity cover contract.

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.  When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave.  We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

The Scaling Up Nutrition Movement (SUN) is a network of Governments, Donors, Businesses, UN agencies and civil society organisations - coming together with the collective aim of ending malnutrition. The SUN Civil Society Network (CSN) Secretariat, a global team of 10 members of staff hosted at Save the Children UK and Save the Children International, plays a crucial role in supporting, coordinating and amplifying the work of over 5,000 civil society organisations and young people across 67 countries.  This support is delivered through capacity-building, knowledge management, cross-country learning, advocacy and communications – from local to global level - to for improved nutrition outcomes.

About the role

As Communications Adviser, you will shape and lead SUN CSN's communications and member engagement strategy — from amplifying community voices to showcasing change-makers across the nutrition sector. You will produce innovative multimedia content, manage digital channels, oversee newsletters and social media, and maintain our website as a go-to hub for news and resources.

In this pivotal role, you'll also collaborate with global partners from within and outside the SUN Movement, manage communications projects, and support the launch of our new SUN CSN Strategy 4.0 (2026–2030). Some international travel may be required to capture stories firsthand. You will also be working with people from different backgrounds who speak other languages so mastering French and Spanish, as well as AI-generated translation tools, would be important in this role.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the SUN CSN website strategy and work closely with web developers.

• Manage and grow social media presence to engage network members and key global health audiences.

• Create inspiring, high-quality content — including community stories, newsletters (in English, French, and Spanish), campaign materials, and more.

• Lead and coordinate the annual SUN CSN Excellence Awards.

• Develop and facilitate communications training sessions with materials tailored to Network members' needs.

• Support advocacy efforts through creative communications.

• Collaborate across team members to align messaging and maximize impact.

About you

To be successful, it is important that you have:

• Degree or equivalent experience in communications, international development, public health, nutrition, or a related field.

• Strong writing, editing, and content creation skills.

• Experienced in managing websites (WordPress), social media (Hootsuite), newsletters (Mailchimp), and graphic design tools (Canva, Adobe, Premier Pro).

• Skills in using AI tools to enhance communications efficiency.

• Language skills in French and/or Spanish are highly desirable (or experience working with AI translation tools).

• Commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission and values.

• A commitment to SUN CSN's mission and values, with an interest in nutrition, food security, and global health.

What we offer you:

Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.

• We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.

• We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. 

Closing date: Monday 12th May (at midnight)

Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter).  This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building. 

Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense. 

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
